@Cernel I don't see the current patchwork is a problem (it rewards the minor allies for participating). But you could easily create an event that triggers in the current version of the engine, changing ownership to reflect the assigned sphere of influence.

Here is the reference from POS2

changeOwnership values: This will change the ownership of the territory, either directly or by conquering the territory (there is a difference). Format is "territoryName:oldOwner:newOwner:booleanCaptured?". territoryName can be "all", and oldOwner can be "any". Can have multiple instances. examples: <option name="changeOwnership" value="South France:Germans:VichyFrench:false"/> or <option name="changeOwnership" value="all:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> or <option name="changeOwnership" value="Danzig:any:Germans:false"/>

So there doesn't appear to be an appetite to rebalance this map based on the territory differences between RTW and 270BC. So I've taken the improved unit images and dice images and merged them into standard 270BC: https://github.com/triplea-maps/270bc/pull/4

I will also be reviewing the changes in 270BC variants to see if any balances adjustments should be added from those.

@Schulz Moving to Maps & Mods.

@runman Sadly, I don't think anyone fixed anything. It's many years that several people talk about the Game of Thrones map, but nothing has ever come out of it (I may be interested in playing that map if well remade).

If you are interested in learning mapmaking and fixing it yourself, you can do it (whatever changes are probably going to be accepted, I assume, the map being just largely broken).

I have added total mobilized:

@redrum Wow that is seriously Ethnic oriented. There is that single "Slavs" players that groups together Pomerania, Bohemia, Polonia, almost all Russia, Serbia and Bulgaria. Tho, in this case, they got the name "Britons" wrong, as those are, rather, the "Anglo-Saxons" migrants, since also "Brittany" ("Little Britain") I see it is not part of the "Britons"...

Have you ever beaten the Union militarily? 😄

So who made the map?

Also wondering if there is any negative consequence for having negative manpower?

@LovePlayingAAA Good catch, it appears we missed a few updates on some of the HeavyDestroyers and will fix that in the next minor version.

ImprovedDestroyers and AdvancedDestroyer techs still exist and have been updated to make different improvements for destroyers now. This post outlines the sub/destroyer changes: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/493/total-world-war-december-1941-beta-2-8-0-5/392 (there were a few adjustments to that original vision).

The notes haven't been updated yet for 3.0 but are in-progress and hopefully be added shortly.

Please use the new TWW 3.0 for discussing the new version: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/1181/total-world-war-december-1941-3-0-0-0-now-available

UBr Update:

WARNING using this update will require scenarios to be reloaded. Added sorting options. Added a list of game properties used in the scenario. Better handling of complex support attachments. Fixed off-line issues. Production frontiers are now dealt with as groups in the unit list, rather than having them as separate items in the empire list. This allows one to view and filter the frontiers so one can compare. Initial placement units are placed in a group as well as sometimes they are not in a production frontier.

Newest version : UBr Link 1.002.003

not sure if i should start a new thread
but ever since i update to 1.10.13285
the game cannot parse:

age of tribes classical
civil war eastern campaign
1914 blood and steel
thegreatwar-ultimate

@Frostion Just the new pizza delivery feature! 😃

Did you guys get permission from sieg for adding additional sea zone into Pacific during WaW update process? If not then wouldn't be possible to divide Belarus and Arabia in the update like you had done similar thing in WaW?

@Panther Thanks : )

Not sure why this was moved in tournaments, but moving it to Maps & Mods, if that's fine.

zod's explanations don't account for it at all though. his stuff applies to ALL sieg maps, by his own statement.

While the situation we have here is TRS receives very little play, while NWO and WAW receive a good amount.
In order to be an explanation it needs to account for that discrepancy.
which means it needs to point to something that differentiates TRS from the other Sieg maps.

@hepps Yeah, I saw a nice bf109 model with that paint scheme. I'm glad someone noticed it. 🙂 As the infantry goes, he is glistening in the sun and sleeves rolled up ready to fight. The tiger is much nicer than original too, added the german cross and high lighted some areas so the tank pops a little.

These were little experiments to see what it takes to improve units. It's quite difficult to work on tiny scales where a few pixels is all I have to work with. But I learned a lot.

Too bad we don't have a vectored graphics for TripleA, then can do all kinds of stuff on any scale.

Hello scallen1 I am huge fan of this game and I had several attemps to improve the current dom 1914 for years but I did generally failed. Then I really realize what dom players (or TripleA players) want to see and what they don't want to see in the game. You can improve any game greatly but in term of the taste of people that's another story.

These are general opinions of most dom 1914 players (or big map players) (including me)

Historical accuracy: It is not as important as you think coz nobody really care. Also making these map historical would make the game significantly more unbaşanced.

Declaration of war: Another bad idea. Every nations definitely should always start in the first round. These triggers slow downs speed of game.

Increasing the importance of techs: Not good idea because some players can prefer playing it without techs and the current tech rolling system is already very dicey. Boosting these techs makes the game more aleatory.

Different units/costs for different nations: People usually don't like it. They like great variations of units but generally better to give every nations to the same units.

Too many country: Again, it just slow down games, they don't provide more strategic options.

I would liek to see to share more my opinions if you are interested in.

Thanks.
