    @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.

    @schulz Hej Schulz, you asked me to use Soundfiles I made/ adapted for the recently released WW2 Oil & Snow project, which is fine, ( except the intro tune , I prefer to keep that unique ) nice to see another 1941 map and I like your ingredients...

    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"

    Thanks Dog. I think the AI may have issues moving the 2 hit tanks, as they start off with stacks of 9? per territory in the game.
    I have been playing a few games, against AI and have decreased all incomes to see how it affects the game.
    If I am playing against AI AXIS for example I drop all countries by 10-20 % and Allied countries by a further say 10%,
    I feel it starts to factor in the drain on manpower that all countries faced in WW2. makes the later game tougher as well
    So for example the UK finds it a lot tougher to field large armies in Far East, Italy and Europe towards the latter stages of the game along with maintaining Naval supremacy.

    I like physically shipping units to Russia and China from other allies as well. So I delete the lend lease depots and it makes some interesting convoy scenarios as the Germans react etc.

    Apologies for the late reply.

    A few more land/ sea territories would be great.

    I agree, but Im no map-maker, I will have to wait for someone to offer.

    .

    do you think there is an issue with the stacking restrictions on the old 2 hit tanks?

    As they are 2HP, there max stack is 5s, So you have to move the ones nearer the objective first, then the rear TT/echelons after the nearer ones. This principle applies to all stacking in the map.

    PT boats were considered, but decided against, Bomber-Tac does a similar but has a more versatile role.

    .

    enemy factories are destroyed on capture and you can only build light industry on non sovereign territory?

    Again considered, but for simplicity, kept as is. I was conscious that a lot of complexity was going into the map and that it might be too much for players to take in.

    .

    Also do you think the Russian player should be immune to Winter as they were more better prepared for it historically.

    True they were, but again for simplicity kept simple for both Germany/Russia. The Russians do have a lot of Siberian troops/ Inf-Elite that are 'immune' to the effects of winter, so as a player spam them in the north.

    .

    Maybe also a Rasputitsa effect could block all movement on the Eastern front (all player) for one turn after Winter.

    Tried a variant of that, the Germans kept on losing in the north, it was so hard to balance, so removed for simplicity.

    .

    they have to manually enter the quantity as there is no selector arrow for the box like other units.

    Yes, this is a know problem with the TripleA look & feel, FlatLaf, if it bugs you try this;
    Game> Engine settings> UI theme tab> change FlatLaf Dark to Metal or Nimbus
