    I can say it is somewhat common to observe a game (or two) while waiting in a staging window or the lobby for a game of your own to start. @RoiEX it would be good to know a couple things as well specifically regarding the updated behavior: A) would the lobby window closes when connecting to a game? Currently it does not, would this change? B ) assuming the lobby window stays open, what would happen if a user did try to connect to a second game We can maybe pull stats from DB for how often a player connects to multiple games, I don't think it is rare per-say. It is a question though whether the "hassle" to fire up another TripleA instance manually, login to lobby again, all to join a second or a third game would be a major annoyance.

    @VictoryFirst You need to keep in mind that A&A combat consists of a number of interlocking pieces and that changing one can throw the balance off. It is unrealistic that a small force of infantry can stop a tank blitz but is even more unrealistic that battles run an unlimited number of rounds, that there is no retreat and the lack of supply rules. Making blitzing easier makes things hard for the Russians on the Eastern Front.

    @Vendetta Currently using the XML, you can configure this to work exactly in the way you described, except for "Allies retreating to different territories". Currently all units go to one territory. The Pull Request is almost merge-ready, it just needs a bit of improvements outlined at the GitHub page. @iratoric How are things looking right now? Are you planning to work on the last bits of the PR?

    @RogerCooper said: more sense to have the executive module set a broad plan and then the other modules figure how to execute the plan. I was thinking that the plan would be more emergent rather than preset if it was set by local processes, but maybe you're right. I will try both ways. The issue with global plannig i think will be getting the nescessary information to the executive and have it analyze that info appropriately without just simulating all possibilities (which isn't possible.) My account is drained of tokens now, so progress is on temporary hiatus.

    Notable mention, bot hosts are an exception. They need a manual docker pull & restart to pull in changes. This is largely intentional as I would consider them already as legacy. edit: plus, restarting a live game is incredibly disruptive. I wasn't comfortable having the lobby restart without warning until there was the auto-reconnect capability implemented - let alone interrupting a full blown in-progress game.

    @Cernel wasn’t even aware of all of these existing commands i do use the control click for getting an entire unit type. didnt realize at all that right clicking current deselects units selectively. i dont think it’s a great idea to flip the click tho not sure the current thing is broken just a bit convoluted and not well understood probably

    @jayc707 Hi JayC The images will be much sharper in game then they appear when posted here as well. The UHD maps use mostly Frostion units also , as well as his Iron War and Age of Tribes. You can add units to your preferred map and customize it. The map making threads have the information on how to do it. Ask there if you are interested in learning how. Donations are always welcome

    I suppose it is worth pointing out that a 'revert' in git is just an undo update. The code history in Git is write-once. Git never deletes anything. So, in a revert update, based on the reverted change: any lines that were added are removed, and any removed lines are re-added. So, a revert is a new update, it just an inverted update to cancel out a previous one. Revert PRs are not at all special to Git, it's just another update. Once a revert is merged, a person can revert the revert update, add more changes to it, and then merge all of that as one bundle. So, a flow might be like this (the letters on the left hand side represent the commit ID, AKA the commit SHA): a43ae Some update that introduced a bug 3ads2 Revert: Some update that introduced a bug fae54 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug + Bug Fix Changes to the code base are "squashed" together. When a person clicks the revert for the revert, that creates a new proposed change. Bug fixes can be added to that proposed change, then it'll all be squashed together as a single commit that is then released. For example, when reverting the revert, this change would be proposed: abc12 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug In that proposed change, we can add the bug fix, eg: abc12 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug fea23 Bug fix Then, when merged, that would land on the main branch and in the history as one commit, eg: fae54 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug + Bug Fix

    Is TripleA finally dead

    @johnnycat you raise good questions: Is the answer time and programmers? Or just programmers or just time? Or management ? Does it come down to Money? If the answers are: yes, no, maybe, and only on weekends, how could I and others help? Time and programmers is the biggest need. Every bug fix and issue probably takes 2 to 16 hours to fix. This is the biggest gap. Further, TripleA is a larger code base that is very brittle. Making that codebase be easier to work with would help. Money is useful for keeping the servers running and paying the monthly bills. As much as I would love to be payed for TripleA work, paying any type of reasonable developer wage becomes way too much very quickly. Additional management would be helpful. Getting issues sorted, cleanly stated, boiled down to a bare minimum would all be helpful.

    @kindwind It would seem that training against random games would be every inefficient compared to training against the AI that TripleA comes with.TripleA is not Go, random play should be very bad.

    @kindwind Efforts You seem to have in mind using a neural net style AI to play TripleA. I suspect that this we actually be quite difficult given the huge number of possible board positions.You might be better off using a very small mod like Minimap even without a large record of games to train it. TripleA's own AI can be used for training.

    @TheDog
    Thank you again for these informations they are pretty helpful.

    I would suggest a marker on maps that use advanced features. Or the Crash should be catched with the question (are you running the most recent TripleA version?)

    "Here is what I would do, pick a TripleA version greater than 2026-09.16.15791 and tell us what that is, and say twice a year upgrade your mobile version, then you dont really have to bother with version numbers, as we know if the map will work or not based on the desktop version."
    This was my plan all along. 😄 i'm currently running the most recent version.

    I'm also reading the issues and PR's you guys add to the base repo. When i think the feature is important i will update my version of the engine to stay up to date.

    I was just asking myself if is this is really something i should show in the app.

    My goal with this project is to make TripleA more accessible and altough the Game is great it is to complicated for many people so i'm overthinking every addition to the UI.

    Version numbers are important to some people/map makers, to most not.
    Here are some milestone version numbers
    2.5.22294 this cover most A&A maps and most older maps, 100s maps
    2.7.14848 uses isAI, for making the AI appear better, but the map maker is really doing this, 10ish maps, I would say the better solo maps.
    2026-09.16.15791 Allows construction upgrades to be placed within construction limit, 1ish map

    The last one, will be a new map we/I are releasing soon.

    See here, for a glimpse of above, look for version numbers.

    The number to look at is

    The 5870 issues raised/closed, some of these issues are because players are on old an version and should of upgraded and many other reasons.
