@Schulz Many of big map games have the problem that the US has trouble contributing to the war effort.I think that the solution would be the placement of naval bases that boost ship speeds so they can get into action. The naval bases could be placed by events or be paid-for builds.The game Quartermaster General uses a system like this.

@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.

@Cernel There are rare occasions when it makes sense to declare war on true neutrals. Mostly late in the game in order to move through a specific area. But its probably done in less than 5% of games if I had to guess.

@Frostion Here are some examples:

Attack Suicide Support Unit
Can provide support for the first round of battle and then suicides. It would act as just a regular unit with no attack/defense values on defense (wouldn't suicide).

Wonderful! It works now on my end -- thank you so much for fixing the problem. 🙂

i had already set up our game and mentioned you with @The_Good_Captain but I suspect you have notifications disabled so that's my bad. Here is the link:

Which language uses the letter " ı " ?
Ah, hold on, it is from Turkish, as Google just told me.
Now that indicates that your system's language is Turkish - though you have installed English on top.

Looking to update this further so the resource icons are displayed instead of the text. Example:

@nothingtoseehere got it

Just downloaded it with 2.5

OMG its downloaded, well done !!!

Just running an AI game hoping there is no missing images.

Version 1.0 released, uploaded to map repository. Updated the first post in this thread to reflect this.

So I am starting to examine AI suitability for some randomly picked scenarios.

Great Lakes War All these scenario are fine for AI

Great War The only problem for the AI is the odd blockages for the US. This is an old scenario before events were introduced into TripleA. The large numbers of units and sprawaling map also slow the game. The actual units are straight-forward and the game can be played with Fast AI. Combat movement is before purchase.
