    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"/>

    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).

    @ All

    I think I just figured out how not to overbuy the Waffen Units that change. Early stages yet but seems as if it'll work.

    Here is an example.

    One is only allowed 6 Waffen Inf and 4 Oberst. The Oberst consumes the Inf, so I had to make a maxBuilt of 10 to allow for the 4 Oberst.

    This made it to where one could unintentionally overbuy the ss Inf. You have to scan the map and count them manually. Easy to make a mistake.

    What I have done, is to limit Waffen Inf to a max purchase of 6 and add a new unit "waffen_infantry4" which has a max purchase of 4.

    It behaves the same as a Waffen Inf except an Oberst can not consume it. Here is what happens.

    There is 1 Waffen Inf in Germany, if you try to buy 6, triplea won't let you. Can only buy 5. So we buy 5 Waffen Inf 1 Oberst and 1 Waffen Inf4.

    Screenshot from 2026-05-11 07-24-02.png

    place them in Germany

    Edit
    Note the Waffen4 consumes a regular Inf same as a Waffen Inf

    Screenshot from 2026-05-11 07-39-34.png

    then after Place phase, Waffen Inf4 turns into a regular Waffen Inf.

    Screenshot from 2026-05-11 07-40-51.png

    Anyway, I think this should work. I still have to allow for multiple Oberst and Waffen4's but that shouldn't be a problem.

    I've thought that before though lol

    Edit
    Yea looks as if it's gonna be a success story 🙂 I'll work my way through the rest of these ss bastards and then start on the Atomic Bomb 🙂

    I'm still not 100% certain what the benefit is. Does this make supportAttachment better ?

    The Wolfpack unit is a token unit and has to be removed/replaced. Now the supportAttachment does this automatically. As I said, there is no battle round check, but this is a big step. 😀

    Being able to 'group' supports is something new and needs further testing. Right now, its late so I'm going to bed. 😎

    so sounds good then I guess. Right now all the U-boats 3 and above get the bonus. So if I use the latest pre, I will need to update the xml as you stated on the other thread.
