    Sorry for not posting in a while. I'm currently quite busy. I'll post again when I finish the units, as there are a few things to iron out.

    Thanks @Michael-Hoover for the notification. I appreciate that you came here to the forum and not just fixed your own local copy Yes, there was a flaw in the XML. Actually there were two connections in the XML between the two territories. But this was not the problem. There has recently been an implementation of “Air connections” to the map as an alternative to bridge connections. (Credit to @Cernel :thumbs_up:) The two territories had gotten an air connection (even though it shouldn’t) and this was preventing normal unit movement. You probably flew over the connection but could not walk over it with another unit. It should be fixed now when v1.2.8 Dragon War is downloadable/updateable. I hope you return and notify if you find other flaws. :winking_face:

    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"/>

    UPDATED: http://john.gregorek.com/Games/Generic.zip

    Added caveER_png to help identify territories for removal/addition.

    Shifted place_txt values to represent top-left corner of unit images.

    Corrected polygons_txt fragments for defining territories across map borders.

    Not happy with glyph branding. It's optional.

    Still have an issue with border fragments that requires your inspection. The reliefTiles hide the map border edge well, but note the dinosaur has been beheaded.

    FYI, at end of README, important PERL scripting note:

    You may encounter errors/warnings:

    GD.pm not a standard module. Must be installed.

    User defined modules wont be found by perl. Several ways to fix that. Easiest method was inserting [use lib] at top of some [.pl] files. Change them to your local folder path, in these scripts: border.pl, brand.pl, cave.pl, generic.pl, glyph.pl, hive.pl, plat.pl

    On Linux there is a GD package image file access error that can be ignored.

    Good Luck

    @TheDog Thank you for the document references.

    Here's the scripts to automate map making, at least the bulk of it. My way of giving back to this incredible group.

    http://john.gregorek.com/Games/Generic.zip

    The README will walk you through the scripts and provide a PERL primer for those that dont know.

    These will generate terrain, cave and hive maps, and rough out a playable game XML. The HIVE is a blend of PLAT and CAVE to create layers; above and below ground. Connection territories are marked with glyphs that show better when not owned by Neutral.

    One issue: are PLACE.txt coordinates the unit-image's top-left corner or center? They appear to be functioning as top-left. Image shows smallest territory size and dinosaur clearly out of bounds. The scripts generate center locations. Easy to fix, just want confirmation.
