    @lafayette Hmm. Ok. I already have an automated "Victory" system which seems to accomplish the same thing. I'll probably write a surrender system into the game. I have a few ideas on how it could be accomplished.

    @schulz said in Axis & Allies Wiki: @rogercooper You could add https://triplea-game.org/map/aggression-1942/ as well. Looks interesting.

    @cernel I got the map working by commenting out all the train stuff. I didn't bother trying to merge the code in RSOC with Warlords. Maybe, as a quick fix, I will give all train stations, a bonus of 1 for land movement.

    @joseph-prince In case you're unaware of them, here are a couple 39 mods that may give you some ideas: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/32236/oztea-s-1939-global-setup?page=1 https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/30608/global-europe-pacific-1939-for-1940-2nd-editon?page=1 @RogerCooper yea it'd work ok aginst the neutral TTys if the human was russian, but JPN/russia where one is the AI probably wouldn't. AI doesn't do good on the Global map anyway. PTV be the same I'd imagine

    Change Log: 2.71 1/28/22 Fix all "figher_LR" Units to work correctly when "longRangeAir" and "jetPower" Tech activated. Fix "battelship and carrier hull" Units to work correctly. yea took a while to fix your dudes @board-3659 . Be best if you do those yourself. Had to fix Long Range Fighter too ( Barons Unit ). Major burn and had to rename and xml it too lol. But anyway , it was 8 units per player for fix for yours. Took a couple hours. Be best for you to do the maintenance on them At least someone is playing it lol

    @danawriter yes it is. I’m in the process of it now. While I can beat six Hard AI, I don’t think this would work against humans.

    @mattbarnes Yes the Bowman is 1. There is only 1 AA combat round. Here is the documentation of AA Guns (from Pact of Steel 2) aa related: isAA values: just sets isAAmovement, isAAforCombatOnly, isAAforBombingThisUnitOnly, isAAforFlyOverOnly, isInfrastructure, and isRocket to true. isAAmovement values: just sets canNotMoveDuringCombatMove to "true", and only for aa guns it will set the stacking limits (movementLimit, attackingLimit, placementLimit) to "1:allied" when playing by classic rules attackAA values: the value that an isAA unit will attack at, for shooting at air units before battle attackAAmaxDieSides values: sets the dice sides for aa guns. defaults to whatever you chose above in diceSides (or 6 if you didn't choose). All units with the same typeAA must have the same dice sides. Be Warned that all aa attack values (including with Radar and without Radar), MUST divide into attackAAmaxDieSides without remainders, or else there WILL be errors in LowLuck! offensiveAttackAA values: same as attackAA but for offensive side offensiveAttackAAmaxDieSides values: same as attackAAmaxDieSides but for offensive side maxAAattacks values: sets how many times this unit may fire its AA guns. Defaults to -1, which means infinite. If not infinite, then aa guns can stack. (If you have multiple aa of the same type-group in a territory, and they have different attack values or dicesides, and different maxAAattacks, then what happens is that the engine will roll for the best attack/diceSides and for the best maxAAattacks, even if that is two different units For example, if you have an aa gun that has infinite attacks and rolls a 4/20, and you have another gun with only one attack and rolls 3/6, then you will end up rolling infinite times at 3/6. This might be fixed in the future.) mayOverStackAA values: sets if this unit may fire aa more times than there are aircraft (default = false). maxRoundsAA values: sets how many rounds the AA may fire in. negative (-1) means infinite. (default = 1). damageableAA values: sets if this unit can damage a two-hitpoint unit, instead of killing it instantly with aa fire (default = false = kill instantly). isAAforCombatOnly values: allows this unit to be an AA gun for normal combat only. it will not defend against strategic bombing raids. isAAforBombingThisUnitOnly values: allows this unit to be an AA gun only when this unit is directly attacked by a strategic bombing raid (currently defends against all strategic bombing attacks in this territory, not just against this unit). it will not defend against a normal attack. isAAforFlyOverOnly values: allows this unit to be an AA gun only when being flown over. if the air unit moves into this territory and stays, then this will not fire. isAAforFlyOverOnly will only work if "AA Territory Restricted" is turned off, and will normally only fire during combat move and not during noncombat move, unless you also turn on "Always on AA". typeAA values: any string which identifies this type-group of aa guns. Only 1 aa gun per group may fire (unless you've set maxAAattacks). (defaults to "AA") Warning: all units with the same typeAA must have the same dice sides, or else you will experience weird results. targetsAA values: a list of unit types which this aa gun can hit. (defaults to all air units) (any aa guns in the same group should have the same targetsAA) willNotFireIfPresent values: a list of unit types for which if they are present in the battle, this aa gun will not fire. isRocket values: allows this unit to become a rocket if the player has the rocket technology. If the unit is named exactly "aaGun" then it will require an image called "rockets". If the unit is named anything else, then it will require an image with "_rockets" appended to its original name canNotMoveDuringCombatMove values: true or false, defaults to false, does not allow this unit to move during 'combat move phase' movementLimit values: only affects normal movement. the count is equal to the number of this unit allowed per territory, and the value is equal to "owned" (we are only counting units owned by each player), or "allied" (allied too), or "total" (which counts enemy units too) attackingLimit values: only affects movement into enemy territory/units. the count is equal to the number of this unit allowed per territory, and the value is equal to "owned" (we are only counting units owned by each player), or "allied" (allied too), or "total" (which counts enemy units too) placementLimit values: only affects placement. the count is equal to the number of this unit allowed per territory, and the value is equal to "owned" (we are only counting units owned by each player), or "allied" (allied too), or "total" (which counts enemy units too) example: <option name="placementLimit" value="allied" count="1"/>

    @cernel Actually Stalingrad can display up to 4 units if its placement spots are selected manually. Units are 48 pixels with %100 zoom. I am aware there are not plenty of placement spots in the Eastern Front. But increasing the dimensions of map would be problematic which would make tracking air units way harder. Actually using 87.5% zoom for automatic placement finder significantly reduces overflows. [image: 1638640465289-1942-resized.png]

    I am torn between charging for political attempts, in this case 5pu, the cost of the cheapest land unit and being free, that is 0pu cost. I have a philosophy of every action should have a cost, but sometimes with upkeep in particular, a faction ends with 4pu or less, so cannot even try Politics. So with a FFA game in mind should Politics have a cost?

    @cernel Thank you I will take my questions there.

Recent Posts

  • Thanks Dog. In the game I am playing I am using Hard AI but I generally use a combination of both.
    Oh yeah in the stack the Russian AI was holding back in Yekaterinburg? area was not 150 TUV but about 81 units/ 640 TUV
    The AI kept a fair bit there since the start of the game really. With some old double hit 1941 tanks.

  • @captain0
    Are you playing with Fast-AI as it is more aggressive than Hard-AI ?

    The US AI does have enough air power to control 2 SZ distance of its West Coast and has enough PU to dominate the sea, but sadly it does not.
    I will look at reinforcing the US west coast, but it will be awhile.

    .

    One other issue I have noticed that there are no UK heavy industry in the Indian ocean/ Red Sea, East of Africa.
    Whilst I respect this is quite accurate historically.

    Agreed, it is not going to change. You could replace the South Africa Industry-Med with a Industry-Hvy if you wish.

  • The US may need a hand Dog as a lot of the ships exit through Panama rapidly
    Perhaps a small random pop up of PT boats or something-like Germany with the subs..
    I was also wondering what the hell was going on when the AI had 14 destroyers in a zone off the West coast lol.

    Just regarding the AI hogging counter strike units at factory areas away from the battlefield to launch a counterstrike.

    'It is good but I am playing the AI at present as axis player v allies.
    The Germans and Italians are holding Stalingrad and a force is moving down to Baku.
    Interestingly the AI has about 100? units TUV 160 ready for a counter as soon as I advance past Stalingrad.
    Maybe it has something else planned but it has more than enough units to heavily influence battles yet stays 4 zones away for the counter

    One other issue I have noticed that there are no UK heavy industry in the Indian ocean/ Red Sea, East of Africa.
    Whilst I respect this is quite accurate historically. It does sort of hog tie the British if the Italian fleet gets on top and can only be confronted by destroyers etc in the East Med.
    Sort of kamikaze.
    Unless the AI/ player even, transits around South Africa and back up to the Med via East Africa.
    I doubt that is something that the AI would approach and even as player Britain it is tough.
    Could it be looked at or Cruisers possibly being allowed to be built at medium factories to compensate and give a bit of firepower.

    Cheers

  • @captain0 said:

    Also n my observation the AI US generally doesn't put up much of a fight in the Pacific v Japan,
    Possibly due to confusion and balancing in the Atlantic convoy war and countering subs popping up.

    The AI at sea is weak and does need help.
    Even with USA AI
    Turns 4, 8,12,16,20,24,28,32 AI purchases 3x Fighter, 1x Carrier-Fleet, 1x Cruiser and places in 010 B Sea Zone
    and
    Turn 2-40, USA AI, purchases 2x Destroyer and places in 010 B Sea Zone

    It does not play well, but it does give an OK game for Japan. Maybe it needs more help to be more of a challenge?
