    @schulz Here is a possible unit image for Wassmuss of Persia: [image: wilhelm_wassmuss.png] Similarly to Lawrence of Arabia, he would give a bonus to allied units with him. Whereas Lawrence of Arabia would be in Hejaz fighting the Ottomans, Lawrence of Arabia would be in Persia fighting the British. I would picture them both having a small entourage of troops with them as they rarely operated alone. Also, I do not know how others create maps, but for this latest map I used Photoshop CS2. I cropped a world map to get an image of Europe and an image of America, then placed them closer together. I then traced over them and colored in the water. For detailed territories I looked up regional maps of each area and if the territories were too small I would combine two or more together so that I could fit units in them. One thing you have to be careful with is that the lines must be completely black and there can be no gaps, otherwise TripleA won't register the territories properly. This gets particularly hard to do with large maps. For this game, I have been thinking of doing a 1914 start date and that other countries will gradually join the war. Forts will be a new unit like bunkers in other games. [image: Marne.PNG] I have done some AI games and it looks like if there are forts on the French-German border, the German AI will turn away to avoid them and instead attack through Belgium, which is close to what happened historically.

    FWIW, a very sizeable chunk of the memory footprint and memory pressure comes from rendering the minimap. The minimap is rendered by drawing the entire map at full scale and then shrinking it down. The more detailed the territory images, the more memory that this will consume. Physically larger images can allow for greater detail, but not necessarily. Hence a large map where all the territories are a single color will require less memory than a small map where the territory images have lots of detail.

    I am changing battleships to be unbuildable and 1-hit. I thought that this would lead to a lot of battleships being destroyed too quickly, but after a few playthroughs with the AI it seems like I was wrong.

    So I am starting to examine AI suitability for some randomly picked scenarios. Great Lakes War All these scenario are fine for AI Great War The only problem for the AI is the odd blockages for the US. This is an old scenario before events were introduced into TripleA. The large numbers of units and sprawaling map also slow the game. The actual units are straight-forward and the game can be played with Fast AI. Combat movement is before purchase.

    @rogercooper It has some understanding, but not a complete understanding; from what I've been able to tell. It does, at least partly, recognize the movement bonuses units will get in terms of avoiding counterattacks, though I'm not sure it does so fully. In terms of strategic bombing, I'm not sure to what extent it specifically targets harbors/airfields that are relevant right now, vs simply targetting anything in the area that's raidable that it's not already invading. (and of course bombers often have regular combats worth doing as well). It does not seem to preferentially move units on/next to harbors/airfields so as to get the movement bonus. I was trying out Global recently, and some of the moves quite clearly showed the ai not 'getting' the impacts of those bases.

    @lafayette said in 270BC Wars - Official Thread: @Cernel why is there a '+' folder in the map? Seemingly it's making the download size quite a bit larger than it needs to be. The "270bc" map has several such useless items too. The main difference is that I group them externally, leaving inside the "map" folder nothing but what is or may be used by the program. Completely useless items of 270bc (I would keep without the "map" folder): https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/blob/master/map/misc/Legend.png https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/blob/master/map/territoryNames/Saria.png https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/blob/master/map/territoryNames/Heraclea.png https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/blob/master/map/units/alt/RomanRepublic_unit_development.png https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/blob/master/map/units/alt/archer_hepps.png https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/blob/master/map/units/alt/archer_with_marker_at_55pt.png https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/blob/master/map/units/alt/ballista_with_marker_at_55pt.png https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/blob/master/map/units/alt/hoplite_with_marker_at_55pt.png https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/blob/master/map/units/alt/legionaire_hepps.png https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/blob/master/map/units/alt/warelephant_hepps.png https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/blob/master/map/units/alt/warelephant_hepps_hit.png https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/blob/master/map/units/Neutral/longboat.png Other maps have a lot more useless items than this one.

    You need to name it Chinese instead China for the easiest way to bring China. Then copy the XML and give a different name. Then examine the XML. It is not complicated.

    Oops, I think I spoke in ignorance here. I didn't realize that there are two editions of "Spring 1942". I apparently own the 1st edition. The 2nd edition does indeed appear to be "World War II v5"

    @wc_sumpton

    Ramon got me to thinking and I tried to alter how my Marines work. The way they're supposed to work is they are A1 D2 unit that gets boosted to A3 when a Artillery is present.

    Artillery also boosts Infantry and a pile of other units +1 on the attack.

    I had the Marine at A2 and get boosted +1 on the attack with all the other units in the same supportAttachment. But then you have to switch to a MarineA1 unit that only attacks at 1 when no Arty present.

    So i made a separate supportAttachment for the jarhead and gave him +2 on the attack when paired with the Arty as he is now just a A1 otherwise.

    I gave it the same "bonusType" name as the one that supports the Infantry. When I attack with 1 Inf and 1 Marine and 1 Arty, the Arty gives +2 to the Marine and +1 to the Inf.

    We want it to just give +2 to the jarhead and no bonus to the Inf. Is that possible ? It seems I tried when initially doing it but couldn't get it to work, hence the two different types of Marines.

    I thought the same bonusType name meant the Arty would only support 1 unit but then which unit was a bit of a problem too but you did say something about which order their listed in gets the support.

    I have to dig that one up but anyway, I think I already tried this and there was no solution but ... I'll ask again anyways 🙂

    heh heh I'll give it a go 🙂

    I thought defense since the defenders should be affected by the attacker the ABomb But will try as I didn't think to 🙂

    Edit
    and wc comes through with the obvious solution lol

    @beelee

    Is the " ABomb" attacking or defending? 'side' is which side the 'attachTo' unit is on. If 'attachTo' is attacking side=offense. Defending side=defense.
