    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.

    @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.

    @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).

    There's a bug where Anti-Air guns fire both before and during battle. How can I fix this?

    It's because I had to add this property to make sea mines work the way they do in World War 1.

    Turning it off solves the issue, but then the mines stop doing anything.

    @Cernel The amount of real estate that a name takes up on the map also matters. If the name is too long and ends up bleeding over into neighboring territories or having to be shrunk to a barely readable font size, the result ends up looking ugly.

    Bohemia works as a shorthand that was in common use for Bohemia-Moravia. There’s no problem with doing that - notice we’re not obliged to refer to the UK player as “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland” in all contexts.

    Hesse actually looks out of place now as Germany’s western border territory - the real state of Hesse doesn’t touch Belgium or France at all. Either Rhineland or Westphalia would be more appropriate for that.

    Berlin should not be closer to Krakow than Warsaw is. Either Silesia should be split, or Neumark and West Prussia should be merged.

    Upper Silesia (east) and Lower Silesia (west) are the natural divisions if you decide to split Silesia.

    Yes, but currently Upper Silesia is practically split almost in half betwen the Silesia and the Krakow territories (or at least looks like to me). Connections wise, it is more like as if it is part of Krakow because the actual Upper Silesia bordered Slovakia.
