@Nothingtoseehere gotcha 🫡

@Ramon said: Let me know if you somehow find a fix! I have had two attempts at it, so will do, but it will not be soon, spare time goes on the new map.

Let's handle the Battle of the Atlantic in the same way as it is handled in Big World 2. It will be named Handelskrieg instead of Wolfpack. It spawns 1 German submarine each round. It will have a unique submarine appearance (slightly different from regular subs) with 0/4/2 stats and 2 HP. I drew 3 new territories in the South Atlantic just in case the Allies try to kill it, so that "Handelskrieg" will have more space to escape. [image: 1785075450210-wwieurope_names_values-copy.jpg]

So to improve on it, this applies to Players & AI The USSR and Japan have a Non Aggression Pact that prevents both sides from attacking each other. When Japan or allies owns Chungking/Industry-Med there will be skirmishes on the Japan-USSR border When Japan or allies owns Chungking/Industry-Med & Urumchi-Kansu/Industry-Lgt it will declare war on USSR When USSR retakes 3 of its lost territories held before Operation Barbarossa there will be skirmishes on the Japan-USSR border When USSR retakes 5 of its lost territories held before Operation Barbarossa it will declare war on Japan Gemrnay & Italy will now have a harder time vs USSR, as USSR will be focusing on their attacks and not distracted by Japan to the south. Japan AI needs help to play better When Japan or allies owns Chungking/Industry-Med, for each turn up to 9 times it will purchase 3x Destroyers, 1x Cruiser, 1x Convoy When Japan or allies owns Urumchi-Kansu/Industry-Lgt, for each turn up to 9 times it will purchase 3x Destroyers, 1x Cruiser Having achieved some of its primary objectives Japan can divert resources to ships. China Player & AI As Japan and USSR will not go to war around turn 15 and Japan was conquering China too easily/quickly. China has a small free increase of a Bunker per turn, this simulates its massive population digging in and resisting its invaders USA AI needs help to play better Turns 2,4,8,12,16,20,24 AI purchases 2x Fighter, Bomber-Tac, Carrier-Fleet, 2x Cruiser, Battleship and places in 010 B Sea Zone This is a small increase of a Cruiser & Battleship and it makes the USA AI more aggressive when using Fast-AI This is big, I think I finally understand Sea Zone ownership and PU production Each Sea Zone generates 1-2pu per turn for the original owner only, just like Convoy Centers. Enemy occupation denies the original owner of the PU income. The current owner has its national flag in the Sea Zone. . v275 documentation, last page has winter turn on instructions. 1941_Global_Command_Decision_Manual.pdf Suggested TripleA version https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases .

@Trout Right on I'll take a look in a bit. Just getting on for the day. Edit I had an incorrect placement. Here's the new one place.txt open you downloadedMaps and UHD Boxes, then map. Replace the old one with the new one. @panzerstahl-helm-0 @alexander I had incorrect placement for 16 SZ that Trout found. New one is listed above. Edit you need to register your email with the dice server. I think I can then use our latest save and start a pbem game with it.

@malmessi It is in game in the usual place Help> Game Notes

I put it onto github under https://github.com/triplea-maps/thehobbesians_1939. I will add to the in-game downloader tomorrow.

Interesting video, and welcome back! I think the changes are interesting. Regarding tactics I do think that having 5 levels is a lot. I think that @shorogyth 's system seems reasonable. I'd also pull the plains bonus out of the tactics system (call it "defensive tactics") and have a separate plains attack bonus. That way horses can have a bonus there, and rangers won't automatically be good attacking on plains. I know it's a third number, but I think it'll be less confusing than tactics being mostly defense bonuses but also one attack bonus. Also, can you have more than a +-1bonus on some terrains? I feel like most flying units would need more than a -1 bonus on caves, especially because tactics give them bonuses. I agree with the relentless issue. I think it's cool for some units to ignore your defensive terrain advantage, but they should be rare and therefore scary. Having basically all orcs be relentless is pretty silly and makes plains better for defense than cities. Regarding unit abilities, I don't think rock paper scissors is necessarily bad, especially because not all factions are equally strong in each. If each faction has different strengths and weaknesses, it forces factions to collaborate more, and stops things from snowballing as much if one faction falls. Eg Gondor would spam rangers because they have good defense bonuses and would kill the winged nazgul (thereby denying mordor's leadership), so you could send flanking cavalry from Rhun or harad to eliminate them. Elven archers were much stronger than the spearmen, but fell very quickly to wargs, which forced the elves to diversify more. In particular, Isengard had no ranged units, so Rohan's flank cavalry was especially dangerous since it would directly target the fires of orthanc, and so isengard had to spend a lot of effort screening its siege forces. I think ranged support feels reasonable. I like all abilities that encourage using a variety of units. Eg the galadhrim archers are one of the most powerful units in the game, but they require you to buy the weaker elven spearmen to unlock their full value. I like the change to charge, since before formation made those units a liability because you couldn't make them not charge. Eg the warg riders were essentially useless for angmar because of this and rohan suffered hard. I do like the new ambush mechanic since it encourages more diversity in unit selection. I do think it should be allowed in cities though (that was the whole siege of osgilliath), and the fact that only a certain number of units can ambush will balance it. I'm not sure I like scouting as it is though. If scouting eliminates ambush, then you just need 1-2 units with scouting in your army and you're fine. And if those units are otherwise useful (eg rangers) then it makes ambushers useless. Maybe scouting should be like spearwall? Just decreasing the effectiveness of ambush so it's less good but still useful? So maybe barrow wights would have an ambush of 6, then eg warg scouts could have a scouting of 2, rangers 3, and wizards 6x2 or sth? I feel like something missing in the game is some notion of hit and run tactics for cavalry. Cavalry is expensive and strong and excels at taking out small groups, but you often can't take advantage of this because if you do it exposes your cavalry to counterattack where they won't make up their PU values. Meanwhile air units can do this which gives angmar and mordor a big advantage. Maybe some cavalry could have an ability wherein they (and only they) can independently retreat after the first round of combat, even if there's a win? This still requires some thought, since if you don't have a win in your first round you have to decide if it's worth leaving your cavalry open to guarantee the win, and cavalry is still worse than flying units since they don't get the whole combat or a noncombat move. But it makes cavalry much more tactically interesting Also a general thought, but I think rangers need to be a higher tier of ranged unit. They have excellent tactics, mountaineer, high movement, anti-flying, scouting, ambush, support, and maybe more. And given the lore this makes sense, but also in the lore they aren't common at all - the Dunedain are solitary and dying out. So I think buffing them and treating them more like weak creatures than elite infantry would make more sense. And then you could maybe have some weaker version for gondor representing Faramir's rangers which are just elite infantry

@Cernel When the Revised Ladder bots were crashing frequently, I moved them onto Amazon Web Services and reworked how they were launched and maintained. AWS is a cloud hosted Linux server, so the bots run remotely rather than depending on my own computer, home internet connection, or an open SSH window. I connect to the server through SSH, but the bots themselves run inside persistent tmux sessions. tmux is useful here because it separates the bot process from the temporary SSH connection. I can disconnect from the server, close my laptop, or lose my local connection without terminating the bot. Each bot has its own named session, which also makes it easier to inspect or restart one without affecting the other. The main upkeep commands are: tmux ls This shows whether the bot sessions are still present. tmux attach -t revised_ladder tmux attach -t revised_ladder2 These reconnect me to the live console output for either bot so I can inspect errors, freezes, or lobby disconnects. To leave a session while keeping the bot running: Ctrl+B, then D If the bot is frozen rather than fully gone, I can attach to the session, stop the process with Ctrl+C, and relaunch it using the relevant startup script. I also set up the launch process so that if a bot process actually disappears or exits, it is automatically started again. In other words, the server does not simply leave the bot offline after a crash. The surrounding startup or monitoring process detects that the bot is no longer running and relaunches it. That does not necessarily fix every possible freeze, since a frozen process may still technically exist, but it does handle ordinary crashes and unexpected exits without requiring me to log in immediately. So the overall setup has three layers: AWS provides the continuously available cloud server. tmux keeps the bot sessions alive independently of SSH. The restart logic relaunches a bot when its process exits or disappears. This is what I implemented when the bots were crashing a lot. Since then, the AWS and tmux setup has generally been stable, and the automatic restart behavior has reduced the amount of manual intervention needed.

@VictoryFirst I don't think Properties are desired from a Engine coding standpoint. That is my understanding anyway. Dan addressed it above I believe. Edit So would want to limit their use

@djggml So here is a working map.yml (remove the .txt to use it. map.yml.txt map_name: the_pact_of_steel games: - {game_name: Pact of Steel, file_name: pact_of_steel.xml} - {game_name: Pact of Steel 2, file_name: pact_of_steel_2.xml} - {game_name: Pact of Steel 233, file_name: pact_of_steel_233.xml} Note it has the version line removed.

@wc_sumpton The production value of 0 is probably confusing the AI.

@Kindwind A neural net certainly makes more sense than a LLM. I didn't see anything obviously illegal in the play, but you didn't document the non-combat moves which caused a problem with your previous model As you noted, your neural net is inferior to your algorithmic WeakAI, which is itself comparable to TripleA's Easy AI. However it does attack and would beat TripleA's Do Nothing AI, which is something. (I have seen a GGP (Ludii) that plays Chess so poorly that it has trouble against random play). However, that it can't beat the training AI seems to point to a fundamental weakness with this sort of neural net. Note that AlphaZero played 44,000,000 games of Chess in its training process (600 years on your computer), and Chess is much simpler game computationally.
