Looks as if it did 🙂 UK only used 1 Rail so the French dude went to Egypt. He said not much of a improvement from Central Africa and was hoping for London duty 🙂

Edit
Hmm ... 🤔 I wonder if this might affect your game with Trout though ?

@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 If you want to try a neural net AI for TripleA, you would need to modify TripleA to support repeated self-play. For example of programs that support repeated self-play checkout Ludii & Chess Arena.

Supporting repeated self-play would be project of moderate difficulty in Java. (TripleA already supports self-play). You would need to learn Java (Vibe coding doesn't cut it).. Repeated self-play would also be useful for balancing mods.

I don't know how well a neural net would play TripleA. The number of possible moves in Go is a most 361, far fewer than the number of possible moves in a TripleA game. An effort to get a neural net to play a 2-player Risk variant did not go well.

One advantage is that TripleA already has heuristic AI's that could be used to train a neural net.

@ubernaut I just read that it got shut down... but that's ok

@beelee cool o7

@wc_sumpton

Yeah, the 2.7 version has a lot of visual issues.

I just opened the 2.5 version, it's great.

@thedog You may want to check my wiki for modern scenarios at https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Timeline?from=2001

There are a number of mods and maps they may give you some ideas.

@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.

@rogercooper
Thanks!

On the roadmap is to change how TripleA represents the state of the game to be a plain text file instead of a binary encoding. Once that is done, it'll be a lot easier to interoperate different TripleA game clients (ie: a mobile version that interoperates with a desktop version).

The level of effort to reach that goal is pretty high though. It's been an uphill battle to tackle our current goals... I do agree it would be pretty sweet to be able to play a turn of TripleA during coffee breaks.

@samurai-jd said in A more challenging AI:

Re: 💥 1941 Global Command Decision - Official Thread

First, for a guy who has played TripleA in the earliest of days and before that all the published versions of the Axis and Allies board games since the 1980s, the GCD map and rules is a true masterpiece. Thank you.

I play solo. Can anything be done to improve the skill of the AI? I have tried both Fast and Hard modes. No matter how I favor the AI (through multiple iterations as either Axis or Allies) the AI is finished by the 7th round. In my most current effort, I start with 2700 units for the Axis and 2400 units for the Allies. Especially when the AI plays as the Allies, I can NEVER get the USA to invade Continental Europe no matter how favorable I set the situation.

I appreciate your time and the incredible game that you have so elegantly created.

Samurai JD

A large, complex mod such as 1941 Global Command decision is difficult for the AI to play properly. More units just makes it worse.

You would need either to change to mod to help the AI or give the US units near Europe each turn using the editor
