@cernel oh ok wasn't sure just assumed so

@lord-bevan The reason you would want Australia/New Zealand safe is to prevent two VC's for Nemo Pirates

@alkexr cool idea. Somewhat reminds me of the Turtledove book The Two Georges

@mattbarnes Yes the Bowman is 1. There is only 1 AA combat round. Here is the documentation of AA Guns (from Pact of Steel 2) aa related: isAA values: just sets isAAmovement, isAAforCombatOnly, isAAforBombingThisUnitOnly, isAAforFlyOverOnly, isInfrastructure, and isRocket to true. isAAmovement values: just sets canNotMoveDuringCombatMove to "true", and only for aa guns it will set the stacking limits (movementLimit, attackingLimit, placementLimit) to "1:allied" when playing by classic rules attackAA values: the value that an isAA unit will attack at, for shooting at air units before battle attackAAmaxDieSides values: sets the dice sides for aa guns. defaults to whatever you chose above in diceSides (or 6 if you didn't choose). All units with the same typeAA must have the same dice sides. Be Warned that all aa attack values (including with Radar and without Radar), MUST divide into attackAAmaxDieSides without remainders, or else there WILL be errors in LowLuck! offensiveAttackAA values: same as attackAA but for offensive side offensiveAttackAAmaxDieSides values: same as attackAAmaxDieSides but for offensive side maxAAattacks values: sets how many times this unit may fire its AA guns. Defaults to -1, which means infinite. If not infinite, then aa guns can stack. (If you have multiple aa of the same type-group in a territory, and they have different attack values or dicesides, and different maxAAattacks, then what happens is that the engine will roll for the best attack/diceSides and for the best maxAAattacks, even if that is two different units For example, if you have an aa gun that has infinite attacks and rolls a 4/20, and you have another gun with only one attack and rolls 3/6, then you will end up rolling infinite times at 3/6. This might be fixed in the future.) mayOverStackAA values: sets if this unit may fire aa more times than there are aircraft (default = false). maxRoundsAA values: sets how many rounds the AA may fire in. negative (-1) means infinite. (default = 1). damageableAA values: sets if this unit can damage a two-hitpoint unit, instead of killing it instantly with aa fire (default = false = kill instantly). isAAforCombatOnly values: allows this unit to be an AA gun for normal combat only. it will not defend against strategic bombing raids. isAAforBombingThisUnitOnly values: allows this unit to be an AA gun only when this unit is directly attacked by a strategic bombing raid (currently defends against all strategic bombing attacks in this territory, not just against this unit). it will not defend against a normal attack. isAAforFlyOverOnly values: allows this unit to be an AA gun only when being flown over. if the air unit moves into this territory and stays, then this will not fire. isAAforFlyOverOnly will only work if "AA Territory Restricted" is turned off, and will normally only fire during combat move and not during noncombat move, unless you also turn on "Always on AA". typeAA values: any string which identifies this type-group of aa guns. Only 1 aa gun per group may fire (unless you've set maxAAattacks). (defaults to "AA") Warning: all units with the same typeAA must have the same dice sides, or else you will experience weird results. targetsAA values: a list of unit types which this aa gun can hit. (defaults to all air units) (any aa guns in the same group should have the same targetsAA) willNotFireIfPresent values: a list of unit types for which if they are present in the battle, this aa gun will not fire. isRocket values: allows this unit to become a rocket if the player has the rocket technology. If the unit is named exactly "aaGun" then it will require an image called "rockets". If the unit is named anything else, then it will require an image with "_rockets" appended to its original name canNotMoveDuringCombatMove values: true or false, defaults to false, does not allow this unit to move during 'combat move phase' movementLimit values: only affects normal movement. the count is equal to the number of this unit allowed per territory, and the value is equal to "owned" (we are only counting units owned by each player), or "allied" (allied too), or "total" (which counts enemy units too) attackingLimit values: only affects movement into enemy territory/units. the count is equal to the number of this unit allowed per territory, and the value is equal to "owned" (we are only counting units owned by each player), or "allied" (allied too), or "total" (which counts enemy units too) placementLimit values: only affects placement. the count is equal to the number of this unit allowed per territory, and the value is equal to "owned" (we are only counting units owned by each player), or "allied" (allied too), or "total" (which counts enemy units too) example: <option name="placementLimit" value="allied" count="1"/>

@thedog somewhat looks like a bug, could you provide a full copy of the map?

@cernel Actually Stalingrad can display up to 4 units if its placement spots are selected manually. Units are 48 pixels with %100 zoom. I am aware there are not plenty of placement spots in the Eastern Front. But increasing the dimensions of map would be problematic which would make tracking air units way harder. Actually using 87.5% zoom for automatic placement finder significantly reduces overflows. [image: 1942.png]

I am torn between charging for political attempts, in this case 5pu, the cost of the cheapest land unit and being free, that is 0pu cost. I have a philosophy of every action should have a cost, but sometimes with upkeep in particular, a faction ends with 4pu or less, so cannot even try Politics. So with a FFA game in mind should Politics have a cost?

@rogercooper I hadn't thought of that, thank you.

@cernel Thank you I will take my questions there.

@afgelo yea you should be good. As Panther said you can keep 2.5 as well. 2.6 will just have some new stuff. I forget where the new stuff is listed though

@schulz As far as I know, a triggered victory is the only way to get a political allied victory to work? So, sadly an economic victory, TripleA will not tell you have won unless one clan gets, in this case 300pu, as political allies pu are not counted. Please correct me if this is not true.

Doh, I put <property name="National Objectives" value="true" editable="true"> instead of <property name="Triggered Victory" value="true" editable="true"> Its now working as intended.

@schulz said in Possible revision on Europe (1999) map: Making nations unable to use occupied factories. Destroying factories when captured is more realistic.

@the_good_captain said in Axis and Allies Europe (1999) map in TripleA: @rogercooper 2.5.22294 @Cernel you can PM me or email me at ryanvoz@yahoo.com about it. trying to keep my comments on this thread related to this TripleA module Let's use the topic https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/2975/possible-revision-on-europe-1999-map which @Schulz opened.

@cernel 3 days would be from Crete to Alexandria, with a favorable wind. The movement allowances in ancient games are generally too low. Hannibal went from southern Spain to Northern Italy in 1 year. [image: db5c6047-a790-4ea2-a512-b698527d8990-image.png] @TorpedoA No one was going long distances under oar. Triremes and longships were primarily sailing vessels. Oared vessels had a bid advantage in combat, because they were not dependent on the wind and could ram. Caesar's campaign against the Veneti showed the vulnerability of pure sailing ships to even small, hastily built oared vessels. It was only with the development of large ships in the late Middles Ages that sailing ships could fight oared ships.

If someone is intrested in history, this eg i like listening to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzmVYmxIvkrjmBNgLJMJYEw

@cernel Thank you, I wasn't sure if I was missing something.

I'd be happy if someone could upload it on GitHub.
