@rogercooper said in Change maxBuiltPerPlayer by a trigger:

@victoryfirst Could this be used to change any value on an unit attachment? Potentially very useful.

For example, in Axis & Allies: Pacific, Commonwealth and American units have a defense strength of one on the first turn. They could start 1 and then be upgraded to their regular values at the end of the Japanese turn.

Yes, definitely yes. Just tried this in my improved module for Axis and Allies D-Day.

The module was already finished for some time but I thought it would be a good idea to add some various game options to help balance the game. The_Good_Captain made a series on A&A D-Day where he recommended some balancing changes. There was one he didn't mention in his video but did consider and that was: "Allied Bombers attack at 4 instead of 3". The game is too pro-German and having this as an optional rule helps out the Allies.

There you have it! Very useful indeed.

@VictoryFirst

I did some research on this, see here

@gregorek

Do rule changes disturb order in the purchase menu? (ie. remove then add to end, which changes location.) -

Yes, remove a purchase shuffles the purchases after the remove and an adds to the end.

You would have to rewrite the whole of the production list every time you did an upgrade to keep the locations constant.

.
Currently there is no function to test a resource.

.
Personally I would remove the TIMER and see if the game plays well enough without it.

Good, Bad, Ugly?

I would let the players decide. I will be one of them 😁

.
As @wc_sumpton suggested create a Jurassic - Official Thread under 'Maps & Mods, ask your questions under it and show case your progress. Keep the first post to advertise the mod.

@gregorek whatever amount there is it is not noticeable versus the other background activities

your concern and input are appreciated and i am by no means the real expert here but i believe these issues should not be worrying you 🙂

Separate activateTrigger's solved it. Set up an always false condition, so the property modifiers dont launch independently. Issue closed.
FYI, Made new units and recolored with drop shadows. Testing game play and balance. Hope to post a beta for others to kick around in a couple weeks.
Thanks for all the help.

That's not good 😞 14962 works for me https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.14962

Does it work on your desktop ? or just not on the smart TV ?

Fwiw, I can't get it to work on TV either. Probably because my TV is smarter than me 🙂

Can you go step by step and show us where you get stuck ?

@GREGOREK

In my copy of Jurassic, I noticed that there are no technologies. By adding an empty technology section:

<technology> </technology>

The Technologies Tab/Window can be removed.

@futsal Given the complexity of the game, the AI is actually reasonable. It is generally better than in other wargames. The TripleA is superior to the AI for Axis & Allies Online, which only plays one version of the game.

The type of AI algorithm used in Chess (Alpha-Beta) would not work in TripleA because of the vast number of legal moves and the random elements. There are some people working on using neural net AI's like Alpha Zero but I have not seen any results yet. I have doubts about their effectiveness.

I do expect future improvements in the AI, but they are likely to be piecemeal resolutions of specific issues .

To have fun with the AI, I suggest playing only one country, so you need to deal with AI allies. Giving handicaps to your opponents can be useful as well.

@wc_sumpton said in Restricting unit builds:

<property name="Unit Placement Restrictions" value="true" editable="false">
<boolean/>
</property>

That was it. Thank you for the help.

@alexander

It's WONDERFUL to start this game with you - thanks.

And don't be too sure about the Mafia - they might take a pass and let Deutschland take Paris...

I am just a beginner but I like to try all sorts of different things to keep the game interesting.

@GREGOREK

Sorry for not replying sooner, I've been busy with my own little side project.
I've played a few rounds, there are some interesting concepts here. With regards to some of the comments at the bottom of your notes dealing with maxBuiltPerPlayer and requiresUnits. There were updates to the AI when dealing with these types of units. But the AI considers "What is best for me now?" when purchasing and cannot handle upgrades/future consideration type of purchase.
Did a scan review of the xml. I've been reading to many of @TheDog's stuff. That one is the Master of foreach/looping 👍, which makes an xml so much easier to read.

@gregorek said in Jurassic v2.0:

Can new territory connections be made during the game as part of game play?

Think of "Canals". They are a type of territory connection and their attachments can be modified.

Cheers...

@beelee GREAT IDEA

THANK YOU B
