    Hello scallen1 I am huge fan of this game and I had several attemps to improve the current dom 1914 for years but I did generally failed. Then I really realize what dom players (or TripleA players) want to see and what they don't want to see in the game. You can improve any game greatly but in term of the taste of people that's another story. These are general opinions of most dom 1914 players (or big map players) (including me) Historical accuracy: It is not as important as you think coz nobody really care. Also making these map historical would make the game significantly more unbaşanced. Declaration of war: Another bad idea. Every nations definitely should always start in the first round. These triggers slow downs speed of game. Increasing the importance of techs: Not good idea because some players can prefer playing it without techs and the current tech rolling system is already very dicey. Boosting these techs makes the game more aleatory. Different units/costs for different nations: People usually don't like it. They like great variations of units but generally better to give every nations to the same units. Too many country: Again, it just slow down games, they don't provide more strategic options. I would liek to see to share more my opinions if you are interested in. Thanks.

    @redrum The most areas on a world map is the World at War Map. However it does not use the AAG40 rules.There is no map that uses the AAG40 rules with more map areas. However, it would not be hard to change an existing large map such as World At War,or Ultimate World/Global War to AAG40, by cutting & pasting the xml file. Note that v3/AA50 rules differ only in small ways from AAG40 rules. You could probably play Ultimate World or Global War without making changes.

    @general_zod You're right. Recruits are used as a mechanism to build other units only. @Mario-Rafael-Herrera-Vaca Recruits have to be regarded as a resource item only like iron or fuel. Recruits units are produced by Factories, depending on the maximum production unit value of a specific territory at the end of the round. They will be consumed by producing specific units. When @sneakingcoward first implemented the resource item "recruits" into World at War variant vXXX map and second in The Rising Sun variant vXXX map, gameplay became once more realistic. Both maps belong to TripleA maps that are state of the art. [image: 1534581075063-wawtrs_postcard-resized.jpg]

    @mario-rafael-herrera-vaca Moved to maps and mods, assuming it doesn't necessarily entails modifications to the TripleA program itself. I would update the title to be more specific, also on the account that there are several topics about this game. The referring mapmaker is @sneakingcoward.

    Random though about this. Currently you can make a trigger fire another trigger. <option name="activateTrigger" value="triggerAttachmentRussians5_FarEastReserves:1:false:false:false:false"/> (Format: "triggerName:numberOfTimes:useUses:testUses:testConditions:testChance") How doable would the following be? <option name="activateRandomTrigger" value="triggerAttachment1:triggerAttachment2:triggerAttachment3" count="2"/> The above would fire exactly 2 of those 3 triggers at random. IDK how important the additional options are for activateTrigger (I don't understand what the test things do, and if I wanted to fire the trigger more than once I would just put more lines) Also I investigated and I do not have the global conquest map on this computer. Sorry

    @comr Best thing is to play some of the new/complex maps and read the POS2 XML to understand what is available today: https://github.com/triplea-maps/the_pact_of_steel/blob/master/map/games/pact_of_steel_2.xml The AI overview and backlog of improvements are here: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/105/ai-development-discussion-and-feedback. I wrote all of the Fast/Hard AI so know all of the algorithms/code for it. It was primarily written to play the standard A&A maps (classic, revised, v3, global, etc) so it performs reasonably well on maps that primarily use similar rules. But if you try to have the AI play Total World War or Civil War, it plays very poorly and doesn't understand many of the features used in those games. Suggestions and contributions are always welcome and you can find the AI code here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/tree/master/game-core/src/main/java/games/strategy/triplea/ai

    @willk_1230 So if by eligible Minor Factories... you mean the one in Novgorod and the one in Volgograd... then it is because neither is eligible to be up-graded. "Major industrial complexes can be built only in originally controlled (not captured) territories with an IPC value of 3 or higher." Page 23 Restictions on Placement Pragraph 4. Here is a link to the manual for your reference.... https://www.axisandallies.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Axis-Allies-Europe-1940-Second-Edition.pdf

    I know the owner of the map is not around, so what I'm asking here is what most players understand or anyway play with.

    @cernel Ah, well yaml file updates just determine whether users that have the map downloaded get prompted to update it. Probably don't need to update it for a minor change like this. But not a big deal either way.

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

  • @shorogyth Your solution to territory effects is certainly simpler and it would work fine if every territory had exactly one territory effect, but it's important that territories with multiple effects stacked (i.e. Caras Galadhon) should be easier to defend. Also I can't incorporate these bonuses into the baseline stats, because the plains bonus is attack only, while the rest are defense only. A 4/4 unit with excellent tactics acts as a 6/4 on plains and 4/6 on hills, I could technically make it a 5/5 but then the territory effects would need to be +1/-1 and -1/+1 and that's hardly a simplification. Maybe versatility is a better name than tactics though.

    I admit the strategic role of charge is not very unique, it's essentially just "very good at attacking on plains, with a twist". But if I see my opponent buy charging units, I'm not worried for my cities, I'm worried that I'll be forced to retreat from open terrain and keep my army behind the lines because exposing them is a death sentence. I know what to be worried about, so my opponent has made a strategic choice.

    Dragons can't evade, but the winged nazgul can, and yes, they are very scary.

    As for complicated calculations, the battle calculator will do that for you if you need the exact numbers, but most of the time simple heuristics are enough. Charge is very good in plains, less so in hills or if there is a river etc., you don't need to memorize the every single number.

    @mortetvie Anti-air attacks are still a thing. The balance obviously went out the window a long time ago, pretty much every unit will need to be rebalanced. There will also be quite a few new units, while some others will be retired. In general, it's too early to worry about balance at this stage.

  • @alkexr I primarily play evil on the map. Currently, it seems to have too much of an advantage because of the multi-hit units and more units than in prior version. I suppose some balance changes are coming?

    Also, do ranged units still do a hit on flying units like they used to? If so, I think keeping flank is a must because that is pretty much one of the main strategies for evil to counter massed archers responding to flying nazgul/dragons. Also, having cheap goblin archers in a stack is probably one of evil's best ways to deal with eagle spam.
