Someone has posted an error on GitHub 2.7.15025: TripleAFrame#showHistory:1784 - java.lang.IllegalStateException #14112 game stops at the beginning - playing royals. Two history thinkers ... Try another version like this one https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15256

@ubernaut I just read that it got shut down... but that's ok

@samurai-jd said in A more challenging AI: Re: 1941 Global Command Decision - Official Thread First, for a guy who has played TripleA in the earliest of days and before that all the published versions of the Axis and Allies board games since the 1980s, the GCD map and rules is a true masterpiece. Thank you. I play solo. Can anything be done to improve the skill of the AI? I have tried both Fast and Hard modes. No matter how I favor the AI (through multiple iterations as either Axis or Allies) the AI is finished by the 7th round. In my most current effort, I start with 2700 units for the Axis and 2400 units for the Allies. Especially when the AI plays as the Allies, I can NEVER get the USA to invade Continental Europe no matter how favorable I set the situation. I appreciate your time and the incredible game that you have so elegantly created. Samurai JD A large, complex mod such as 1941 Global Command decision is difficult for the AI to play properly. More units just makes it worse. You would need either to change to mod to help the AI or give the US units near Europe each turn using the editor

@thedog You may want to check my wiki for modern scenarios at https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Timeline?from=2001 There are a number of mods and maps they may give you some ideas.

@madvitale I'm sorry that you are having troubles. I personally do not use Notepad, it's okay for small quick edits, I use Notepad++. I'll include a zip file with the changes. World_At_War.zip Special Note "Transport Casualties Restricted" value must stay false in the xml as Transports and B.Transports have a defensive value. The value can be changed in the 'Map Options' (lowest button on the left panel). Cheers...

@ted-self Im glad you like the map and it has got you all excited even at your age. It was exasperating and fun to design the map. If you want another steep learning curve map that will challenge your grey cells then try 1941 Global Command Decision https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3326/1941-global-command-decision-official-thread

@rogercooper Thank you.

Capture Units on Entering Territory Is usually not set as True, so is usually false. I have not played the map, but I think it should be false.

@rogercooper I couldn't find the repo in triplea-maps. So can he just update his repo and then do a PR with the new version number in the yaml ? His repo doesn't need to be part of triplea-maps ? Anyway, it's merged. @thehobbesian this is what you need to change in the yaml. The pencil icon will allow you to edit it. I believe anyone can but not 100% certain on that.

The yaml just lets people know there is a new version. Edit 2 @thehobbesian I DL'd it but don't know if it's the new version or not. There's really no easy way to tell. I add a notification at game start saying what version and the date it was first uploaded. I also document it in the changelog in the Game notes. Edit 3 OK it looks like the latest. This is your last commit and here it is in the Game Notes [image: 1759591386917-screenshot-from-2025-10-04-10-22-02.png] [image: 1759591399240-screenshot-from-2025-10-04-10-21-49.png]

@wc_sumpton I found the problem. My OCD wants things in alphabetic order and in doing that I accidentally moved the ending </technology> caveat after the French player's code. Thus only the Americans, ANZAC, British, Chinese and French were actually recognized. The British get theirs from the UK_Pacific's choice and the Chinese don't have any (at this time). So, the rest all got skipped. I appreciate the help. I also put the code back in player turn order, but added "Player 01 - ", 02 etc. before the Faction heading comments. My OCD is thereby satisfied.
