  zod's explanations don't account for it at all though. his stuff applies to ALL sieg maps, by his own statement. While the situation we have here is TRS receives very little play, while NWO and WAW receive a good amount. In order to be an explanation it needs to account for that discrepancy. which means it needs to point to something that differentiates TRS from the other Sieg maps.

  @hepps Yeah, I saw a nice bf109 model with that paint scheme. I'm glad someone noticed it. As the infantry goes, he is glistening in the sun and sleeves rolled up ready to fight. The tiger is much nicer than original too, added the german cross and high lighted some areas so the tank pops a little. These were little experiments to see what it takes to improve units. It's quite difficult to work on tiny scales where a few pixels is all I have to work with. But I learned a lot. Too bad we don't have a vectored graphics for TripleA, then can do all kinds of stuff on any scale.

  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.

  @scousemart You can download mapskins like maps. This mapskin is available in the repository, under skins. Map skins are a view option, of course.

  @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.

  @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.

  I cannot play this map since it has been released. I was hoping that it will be fixed in time but it is not. SAXParseException: game: The Grand War Free for All, line: 659, column: 85, error: Attribute "defaultType" must be declared for element type "player".

  Little one is a galley, big one is a man of war. Both can fight, I really dislike the instantly killed dedicated transports of some games.

  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.
