    @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

    @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

    @beelee The map loads for me, but I am not going to say how well it works. It is an overly complicated mod.

    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. [image: 1759589371964-screenshot-from-2025-10-04-09-45-38.png] [image: 1759589881597-screenshot-from-2025-10-04-09-57-27.png] You can see Roger did it here [image: 1759589494806-screenshot-from-2025-10-04-09-50-48.png] Edit Also, as Roger stated, you can just redownload the map once the repo has been updated. 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.

    @djabwana You can restrict the movement of units by step and switch them on & off, between steps, not just by turn as in 1888A Steam & Steel eg (I have not played your game, so this will probably be wrong) turn off all movement for none Battleships/Cruisers, Heavy Artillery, and Railguns step Move Battleships/Cruisers, Heavy Artillery, and Railguns turn on all movement for none Battleships/Cruisers, Heavy Artillery, and Railguns Search go winter in the xml and apply the principles to different step phases of a turn https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4056/1888a-steam-steel-official-thread Here is an overview, there are a lot of components, you will not them all Winter Search go winter in the xml to see the components that make up how to use terrain effects and a dummy player needs an allied dummy player, eg. winterp define TT & SZ to be affected define a new allied relationship eg winterr allows combat takes over in TT/SZ (oops has no go winter) needs a WinterLand & WinterSea to be shown in the TT & SZ define territoryEffect eg. Winter Triggers to make it happen when you want it. Note -reset- has to redefine the TT/SZ when a TT/SZ changes effect Hope this helps

    Thank you for noting location of LOG file.
    Observer is set to false.

    26343 13:08:20.484 [pool-4-thread-1] ERROR o.t.game.client.HeadedGameRunner - java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.awt.image.BufferedImage.getWidth(java.awt.image.ImageObserver)" because "fromFile" is null at games.strategy.triplea.image.TileImageFactory.loadUnblendedImage(TileImageFactory.java:220) at games.strategy.triplea.image.TileImageFactory.getImage(TileImageFactory.java:132) at games.strategy.triplea.image.TileImageFactory.getBaseTile(TileImageFactory.java:116) at games.strategy.triplea.ui.screen.drawable.BaseMapDrawable.getImage(BaseMapDrawable.java:17) at games.strategy.triplea.ui.screen.drawable.MapTileDrawable.draw(MapTileDrawable.java:37) at games.strategy.triplea.ui.screen.Tile.draw(Tile.java:72) at games.strategy.triplea.ui.screen.Tile.drawImage(Tile.java:57) at games.strategy.triplea.ui.panels.map.MapPanel.lambda$paint$9(MapPanel.java:779) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1144) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:642) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:1583)

    The error seems to stem from a baseTile being null. All are good. Including reliefTIles. The map does have a width that aligns exactly to the 256x256 tile size, thus 20x20 tiles, name 0_0.png through 19_19.png. (5120x5120 map width/height in properties) The small map in upper right corner does not display right and bottom edge correctly.

    neanderthalSmallMap.png

    The border slicing may have created zero area islands, island chains, and two-pixel spurs. Only noticed two candidates for that, but they display correctly. Get observer error, even with single polygon boxes around territory centers, hasRelief set to false (reliefTiles folder must be removed to not display reliefTiles). I'm going to recreate the XML script from scratch. Maybe missed an initializer, version, or other element that is not optional.

    Note: map/smallMap.jpeg is 300x300. Is it supposed to be a particular scaled size of main map (which is 5120x5120)?

    Great idea to expand the conflict!

    Off to a fantastic start for your map 😀

    Personally I would make it easier for players to play your map, make it so they don't have to rename the map.properties file.

    Just in case you dont know, with notepad++, or similar, you can file associate .properties so they open with notepad++ and save.
