Version 1.0 released, uploaded to map repository. Updated the first post in this thread to reflect this.

@panther Thanks! Hopefully someone will be able to make a workable version.

@rogercooper Everything I have has been converted. I will leave it to others to put these in the repository.

@hepps gigglez

@seancb Can you post your rules & setup?

@general_zod Got the support bonuses working:

UBr Update

The techAttachments do not look like they will be useful.
Since they are dependant on whether the player has the tech or not, it would be hard to display, unless there is a popup with all techs switched on, but ... messy...

@drbrunch Hi dr

It's mostly a personal preference thing. NWO uses it. Their reasoning was for when you have AAguns shooting at air units during flyovers in CM, you would know before purchase if you lost any air.

As far as the mod goes, if it's RD 4, Russia can attack regardless of the phase order. Suppose the Game Notes could be updated to reflect that.

@deltium

I would like prefer to play the it via the lobby if possible. I don't know how to PBEM, I used to try it but I was unsuccesfull during
the v341 tournament.

@general_zod resetUnitStateAtEnd fixed it thanks!

@oda Overall, definitely a step in the right direction. I think you have at least a good core unit set now and the infrastructure portion is pretty interesting. I think just layering on a few more of the features you have planned then starting to get some games going to test balance is a good approach.

If you have any questions on the XML or would like feedback on any particular areas just let me know.

@mahks

To expand on above explanations. If the game located in C:\username/triplea/downloadedMaps/*gamename*/map is lacking an image or sound file. It will look in the following location. Which is the TripleA engine's installed location.

The typical install location for the triplea engine and the "assets" folders are below.

C:\Program Files/TripleA v.1.9.x.x.xxx/assets

territoryEffects (this one is missing now?)

@schulz

Well if your interested in testing out the balance with my suggestions let me know. It will surely require more tweaks. As current balance goes it is terrible imo, thus why allies need 13 to 15 bid.

And even with bid strategies are limited due to NO's.

Yes. I have recerched them. I was looking for widely accepted house rules. Also honestly I'd prefer to chance IPC powers for to achieve balance instead of house rules.

It works right now. Thanks.

I tried it two times and got rid of it after failing.

@captain-crunch @beelee Not sure but I remember watching Baa Baa Black sheep as well.

@general_zod said in UNDER SIEGE: America:

@wc_sumpton The American AI struggles a lot, with 3 human invaders as well. However we didn't use any of the game options that may help AI America, since there were no notes on it. Plus I wanted to see how it plays without those first.

I made a couple other observations on the max 5 unit.

It causes movement validation issues during NCM. Even with air units flying over an already maxed out territory, can't. This really sucks if they are returning from combat. It forces edits and redoing moves.

It is completely ignored during CM. So a territory can end with way more than 5 units after combat.

I like the 5 unit limit, but the above bother me a bit. Not sure if they can be worked out.

As a whole, nice job.

Thank you for your feed back. Try using the Fast AI as the Americans. It still does some 'stupid' moves, but it feels more aggressive and seems to play a better game.
There are really only two options that change gameplay when using the Americans as the AI 1)'No Reinforcement' and no one gets reinforcements, 2)'Add 1 Extra American Reinforcement/TechRoll' which gives 3 Tech Rolls at the end of every turn instead of 2.
When the game detects an AI it sets up the rules for that player.
American AI gets 1) 'Add American Reinforcements to Purchase' - All reinforcements are add to the Americans so no purchasing is required. (AI has problems purchasing when 'maxBuiltPerPlayer' is set.) 2) The Americans can place the 'Strike Tokens' anywhere. Pre-placing them like they are done with a human player cause the AI not to touch them. For the Invader AI, they use a random schedule reinforcement pool to bring in their reinforcements (Because of the purchasing problem).

2 first) During CM any unit that can enter a contested area may do so. So yes 'stacking limits' are ignored. Since units that moved during CM can not move during NCM there will be more the 5 units there. When moving out of the territory, the stacking limits will apply. (Makes for a tough counter attack by the other team. lol)

1 second) Moving of air during NCM. Air unit don't really 'fly over' a territory in tripleA, they enter every territory they move into, also since the Battle has already happened, air units can not fly over/enter into a controlled territory that already has 5 friendly units, the movement stacking rules apply in this case, and by the rules would need to move around those territories. (A trigger to remove stacking limits for air units during NCM would allow air units to stack more the 5 units in a territory. Since stacking is check only during placement, movement, and attacking (which is not use here), there is no way to inforce stacking 'after movement' into a territory except during movement.) -- hope this helps

I think I talk about both points in the 'Notes' 2 under 'Combat Movement' and 1 in the etc... section at the bottom.
About the 'AI rules' maybe a pop-up to other player explaining what happens? I open for suggestions...

Again thanks for taking the time to play, and you comments are most welcome!!

Cheers...

@hepps While looking around for something else, I stumbled into this. I love this look for the revised map upgrade. It's not too busy and pops nicely.

@hepps said in Amazing what you can find when you can't find something:

Forgot about most of this from some time ago... was looking for something I misplaced for 270 BC and came across an old package of stuff for a Domination MOD.

LMAO... forgot about that MOD entirely.

I may be bugging you soon on tips to recreate the look.

@stohrm Map Creator part 2... just forget that. It was buggy and glitchy even when it was supposed to work.
