  @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

  You can use TAGX for your own maps. It would be really useful for maps like Large Middle Earth, but setting it up this late in the process would be a pain. But how does TagX work? TagX substitutes @tagname@ with a colon delimited list of things having the tag. Source: <attachment name="unitAttachment" attachTo="axe_raider" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UnitAttachment" type="unitType"> <option name="transportCost" value="1"/> <option name="movement" value="2"/> ... <tag name="foot"/> </attachment> <attachment name="unitAttachment" attachTo="berserker" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UnitAttachment" type="unitType"> <option name="transportCost" value="1"/> <option name="movement" value="2"/> ... <tag name="foot"/> </attachment> <attachment name="unitAttachment" attachTo="boar_rider" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UnitAttachment" type="unitType"> ... <option name="targetsAA" value="@foot@"/> <option name="typeAA" value="charge"/> ... <tag name="mounted"/> </attachment> Result: <attachment name="unitAttachment" attachTo="axe_raider" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UnitAttachment" type="unitType"> <option name="transportCost" value="1"/> <option name="movement" value="2"/> ... <tag name="foot"/> </attachment> <attachment name="unitAttachment" attachTo="berserker" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UnitAttachment" type="unitType"> <option name="transportCost" value="1"/> <option name="movement" value="2"/> ... <tag name="foot"/> </attachment> <attachment name="unitAttachment" attachTo="boar_rider" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UnitAttachment" type="unitType"> ... <option name="targetsAA" value="axe_raider:berserker"/> <option name="typeAA" value="charge"/> ... <tag name="mounted"/> </attachment> If later you were to add another unit, and tag it <tag name="foot"/>, they will automatically appear as a valid target for charge, without you having to do anything. TagX can also do foreach loops: <attachment foreach="LEADER=@leadership@" name="supportAttachment_$LEADER$_leadership_foot" attachTo="$LEADER$" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UnitSupportAttachment" type="unitType"> <option name="unitType" value="@foot@"/> <option name="faction" value="allied"/> <option name="side" value="offence:defence"/> <option name="dice" value="strength"/> <option name="bonus" value="1"/> <option name="number" value="1"/> <option name="bonusType" value="leadership"/> <option name="impArtTech" value="false"/> <option name="players" value="@player@"/> </attachment> Tags are substituted first, so @player@ turns into a colon delimited list of players, @leadership@ turns into a colon delimited list of units with the leadership tag. Then the foreach is implemented: the result is a (way too long) list of support attachments, one for each unit with the leadership tag. All instances of $LEADER$ are replaced with the name of the unit to which that particular support attachments belong. Foreach expansions can be nested. The syntax is foreach="VARIABLE1=value1:value2:value3;VARIABLE2=value4:value5;VARIABLE42=value42:value43" etc., if I recall correctly. Another example: <attachment foreach="territory=list:of:territories:you:care:about;player=list:of:players:you:care:about" name="conditionAttachment_$player$_has_battleship_at_$territory$" attachTo="$player$" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="directPresenceTerritories" value="$territory$" count="1"/> <option name="unitPresence" value="battleship" count="1"/> </attachment> So conditionAttachment_bestplayer_has_battleship_at_bestterritory will be true exactly when bestplayer has a battleship at bestterritory.

  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.

  I have now updated Iron War Europe to be in line with the Iron War world map. The update details are as follows: BETA version to v1.0.0: • Added missing sea connections that form Strait of Messina. • British Colonial-Infantry now looks different and is now more distinguishable from the normal British Colonies Infantry. • Tank-Destroyers are now listed in purchase screen before the Light, Medium and Heavy Tanks, not after. • The Anti-Air unit now costs 9 PUs, not 7. • The map uses the resource option “isDisplayedFor” to keep nation specific resources only visible to certain players. • Fuel system has been changed. Now ships and land vehicles use 1 fuel to move one territory, and planes pay half of their full potential movement in fuel when moved. • More PUs have been added to many map territories. • Other minor changes.

  @general_zod Got the support bonuses working: UBr Update Filters may be configured under "Settings" (Not 100% happy with those yet) The techAttachments do not look like they will be useful. Since they are dependant on whether the player has the tech or not, it would be hard to display, unless there is a popup with all techs switched on, but ... messy...

  @drbrunch Hi dr It's mostly a personal preference thing. NWO uses it. Their reasoning was for when you have AAguns shooting at air units during flyovers in CM, you would know before purchase if you lost any air. As far as the mod goes, if it's RD 4, Russia can attack regardless of the phase order. Suppose the Game Notes could be updated to reflect that.

  @oda Overall, definitely a step in the right direction. I think you have at least a good core unit set now and the infrastructure portion is pretty interesting. I think just layering on a few more of the features you have planned then starting to get some games going to test balance is a good approach. If you have any questions on the XML or would like feedback on any particular areas just let me know.

  @mahks To expand on above explanations. If the game located in C:\username/triplea/downloadedMaps/*gamename*/map is lacking an image or sound file. It will look in the following location. Which is the TripleA engine's installed location. The typical install location for the triplea engine and the "assets" folders are below. C:\Program Files/TripleA v.1.9.x.x.xxx/assets flags misc resources sounds units territoryEffects (this one is missing now?)
