@thedog somewhat looks like a bug, could you provide a full copy of the map?

@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.

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?

@rogercooper I hadn't thought of that, thank you.

@cernel Thank you I will take my questions there.

@afgelo yea you should be good. As Panther said you can keep 2.5 as well. 2.6 will just have some new stuff. I forget where the new stuff is listed though

@schulz
As far as I know, a triggered victory is the only way to get a political allied victory to work?
So, sadly an economic victory, TripleA will not tell you have won unless one clan gets, in this case 300pu, as political allies pu are not counted.

Please correct me if this is not true.

Doh, I put
<property name="National Objectives" value="true" editable="true">

instead of
<property name="Triggered Victory" value="true" editable="true">

Its now working as intended.

Making nations unable to use occupied factories.

Destroying factories when captured is more realistic.

@Cernel you can PM me or email me at ryanvoz@yahoo.com about it. trying to keep my comments on this thread related to this TripleA module

Let's use the topic

which @Schulz opened.

@cernel 3 days would be from Crete to Alexandria, with a favorable wind.

The movement allowances in ancient games are generally too low. Hannibal went from southern Spain to Northern Italy in 1 year.

@TorpedoA No one was going long distances under oar. Triremes and longships were primarily sailing vessels.

Oared vessels had a bid advantage in combat, because they were not dependent on the wind and could ram. Caesar's campaign against the Veneti showed the vulnerability of pure sailing ships to even small, hastily built oared vessels. It was only with the development of large ships in the late Middles Ages that sailing ships could fight oared ships.

@cernel Thank you, I wasn't sure if I was missing something.

I'd be happy if someone could upload it on GitHub.

Based on only modest interest and Cernel's wise words of caution, I think I'll just make a small map to showcase some gameplay options with some of the flavor of the ol' warlords.

It'll be awhile before it's made; gotta peruse what art assets we have available, ponder some gameplay choices, figure out what to use for the map, and all the other work.

@hepps got a new bug

In Rnd 1 when Japan attacks UK in SZ 148 both parties carrier have two hitpoints, although you can't see it when choosing casualties. Really weird.

@schulz The Black border around the flags would make the roundels too strong on the crayon colours I have adopted for this map.

Actually I am enjoying the maps PvP, although I may not replay them a lot after. I do not have modding capabilities, so it would be wonderful if anyone can spare the time to check if the Tech, and other game features, are operating as intended, as well as perhaps to tweak balance if suitable.
