    The hope was that we'd have an army of map owners/makers taking care of the maps in repositories. In practice the maps in repository tend to be a last step and a bit of 'fire and forget'. That is not the case for all maps, there are some certainly being actively maintained, though that can't be said for the bulk as we have over a hundred and just a few people maintaining the whole project (code, servers, maps). If you have fixes, it would be great to see them get uploaded, let us know where you are running into trouble and/or what you are trying. Any scenarios you have that can be uploaded are certainly very welcome additions.

    I'm a long time believer that they should have never added National Objectives to the v3 (anniversary) 1941 game. However, it is a fact that almost everyone plays with them enabled, despite the fact that they are officially optional (differently from technology, that is the other official option, in this case rarely taken).

    @Joe-Pants said in Switching out default units: @Hepps I still have it as well; is there a new group repository? Here are the relevant links: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/918/map-maker-resources Here it is the one you are asking for: https://github.com/triplea-game/map-maker-assets Here it is the old one, for the units: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tripleamaps/files/developer resources/units/ Are your old units images in there, or were you asking for something else? Going back on topic, I suggest you share your map customization of WAW as a mapskin. This would also make much easier deciding what possibly to integrate into the original skin itself.

    @NinjaWolfHybrid the edits @Cernel is talking about are not that much. In the xml replace "attatch" with "attach", this will replace both "attatchment" and "attatchTo", "Attatchment" with "Attachment" and "victoryCity" value="true" with "victoryCity" value="1" . This should allow the map to be played when uncompressed. File contains only edited xml: Oil Wars.zip Cheers...

    @hale Looks like most of these rules are not something players can self-enforce, but would require changes to the map (or more realistically making a variant), so I'm moving this to "Maps & Mods". Anyways, good luck, but being Great War a high quality map currently not owned (and rarely played), it is going to be tough getting any gamechanging updates accepted (up to @redrum or @Lafayette).

    Germany's Iron War music

    @Mike-Baker Iron War uses a mix of “real” historical / national orchestral music from the different countries as well as random music I found on the WWW. I would say that it is about 50/50 real historical music mixed with new music from various sources. Besides me tracking down national anthems and military marches and such, I used a lot of time searching for like Indian style/themed orchestral music, Asian style music etc. I didn’t really keep track on where exactly I found the music, but it is from places like YouTube, free game resource sites, free music sites, sites that listed the music files of old computer games etc. To me the Music_Germany_13_3 sounds like some kind of game music. I really can’t remember where I found it.

    @Captain-Crunch I'm specifically referring to the WAW v3 variant game when I am saying that the AI plays a much better game without the "defense" unit . I assume that the same thing would occur with the other WAW variants that have the "defense" unit.

    @PortableDoor I use a combination of paint . net and GIMP. But there are lots of different programs. As far as a map choice... that is for you to explore... I would not rob you of the joys of making what you want.

    @redrum No one has done anything like that. Take a look at Steampunk 1915 for how to handle alien invaders.

    @Cernel Yeah, can probably repurpose that thread to be the official one and should probably move the conversation there since this was really about fixing some of the bugs in the map.

    @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.

    I have created a mod with few tweaks to improve balance. You can download from https://github.com/triplea-maps/world_war_ii_v6_1941_Balanced or wait until it shows up on the map list and in-game downloader.

    My changes are

    Win by taking a capital without losing a capital. Capitals have a bunker that defends at 3 and adds 1 to defending infantry strength. Russian income and starting money increased. Urals have a value of 2, Siberia a value of 1. Factories added in Sichuan and Southern Europe. Factories are destroyed when captured. Added a US destroyer on the East Cost.

    @RogerCooper I do know about ways to do this, but this "tech system" as it exists is very crude and I will probably not make an update to address this. The next update is planned to completely redo the tech system and this will no longer be required.

    @TheDog I noticed that your notes state,

    Do not buy tanks OR gas until round 4. Do not buy carriers until round 6. Thanks to the many beta testers for War Plan Red-Orange

    That can easily be implemented in the XML itself.

    When I upload to Google Drive, I zip the whole file set and put a serialised version number as part of the filename. (rising in units of 5) before uploading.
    Eg. war_plan_red_orange-15.zip
    Then there is no problem of filenames changing.

    Try this
    https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4184/how-to-share-a-map-zip-using-google-drive

    Dont leave the zip in the downloads folder as when TripleA runs it will unzip and might over write any changes you have done.
