Upkeep is possible to implement, the important one is finding good upkeep/cost ratio and in my experiences with upkeep, it works best with 5%-10%. For example infantry cost is 2 and 0.1 upkeep (5%) would work perfectly. But armour upkeep should be definitely higher than 5% but still should not be higher than 10%.

Yes, draw means nobody wins and nobody lose pretty much same with chess. Because of the cumulative aspects of games, the loser side really cannot turn the tide of the war and the fate of the games always seales in the middle of games and just there should have been draw option that gives a good reason the loser side to continue.

@alkexr I was trying to make upkeep as visible source in the purchase screen in my map like that but couldn't find a way because its not a resource. I am using <option name="createsResourcesList" value="-x:PUs"/> tag to represent upkeep.

Wondering is turning into supply like this system the onyl way to make is visible?

@ff03k64 I don't remember exactly. With the way TripleA runs now, it easy to find which images are missing.

@JOSEPH-PRINCE border-gore is aptly named lol 🙂 I think i got em all. Uninstall and reinstall and you should be good to go. I added a notification at game start with version and date as I didn't do a yaml PR.

I must of spaced it's own thread so we'll just make this it for the future 🙂

Thank you very much

Thanks for the info, if anyone is interested in this scenario I have altered just tell me where to upload it. You will play as northern starting on turn 2.

@Schulz Nice, I have added to shades of "shores" so far but I still don't know exactly what it would be the best approach. Thanks!

There is no point to sending the xml, as I have not changed the xml. To make this work, you will need to create art for antitank and tank_destroyer. I don't know of any scenario that used those unit types.

The Benelux flag is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Benelux.

@Major-Arcana The historical situation was fairly interesting. With many US troops withdrawn from Europe, the British government was estimating the Soviets had a 2.5 to 1 superiority in ground forces, but the Allies were superior in the air. Could the British hold the line until the US redeployed? A good scenario for Europe-only game, especially with more realistic air rules.

For a world game, one could add Communist guerillas popping up and the Japanese continuing the Pacific war.

@LaFayette I could also just leave it white and let Russia have a special one. I don't know how to hue shift.

Been playing Europe instead of the whole world. Couple of thoughts.

I am playing all of one side against the AI.

Seems to favor the axis quite a bit. As the allies it went to turn 15 before i was tipped the scales. As axis, i feel like i am in the winning position on turn 5, just a matter of time. I think part of that is the size of the navies.

The rally points from IW could be a good addition to this map. USA had difficulties finding a place to put a new factory.

Germany and USA had fairly similar colors. Germany was also similar to one of the Balkan nations, but that isn't as big of a deal, as they are allied.

After like 2 turns, iron was not much of a factor for me. I don't know how much you wanted that to be a factor, but the fuel is what really limits things for me. AI seems to use more of its iron though.

SS troops seem to need a higher TUV value. They are picked first for casualties.

@Mas-N

line 2922 of POS2. Wouldn't that do what you want? Or am i reading something wrong?

@AprilForever It is fun to play Australia and to optimize its play. Well-timed attacks and retreats can throw the Japanese off-balance and divert the Japanese enough to give the Allies victory.

I general, it is more fun to play one of the Allies with everyone else on AI and try to depend on your AI allies.

I've saw overall negative views for this map campared to revised and anniversary no idea if it because of balance or fun issue. The vanilla one is biased towards Axis. Even inTR set up they still give 6 bid to allies.

I think it would be better with Italian presence and reducing armour cost to 5.

@ff03k64

In the unitAttachment there is the 'canAirBattle' option. Setting it to 'true' should allow those unit to participate in air battles prior to the normal ground battle.

@eregister I looked at that save. The USA player doesn't have the buyTank production rule. Looking through the history, it doesn't show a trigger having run after the armour technology was gained.

I looked at other turns when technologies were purchased and I don't see any triggers running after the technologies were purchased.

I played one round where I used "edit game" to give the armour technology to USA. After the technology activation phase, the history showed the trigger having run.

What version are you using? And could you make a save on the turn after you purchase the armour technology?

@Trevan That looks like a good generalization of the AA rules.

Here is the fixed version. AAZ.zip

@RogerCooper

I did not find a connection between '18 Sea Zone' and '29 Sea Zone' for 'Suez Canal'. Also there is no connection between '20 Sea Zone' and '12 Sea Zone' for 'Panama Canal'. There is a connection between '18 Sea Zone' and '19 Sea Zone' for 'Turkish Straits'. Maybe adding the following connections will help.

Not sure just guessing here.

Cheers...
