If you manage to create an AI which plays V5 better than Hard AI, that would be awesome. I would definitely try it out! Let us non-developers know when and how we can eventually test it. I'm wondering if using V6 might help you fine tuning V5 even more than using V5 itself. V6 is a very unforgiving map since the start, and I believe it is much easier to beat Hard AI on V6 than on V5. Minor note, there is the problem that the current best TripleA AI is called "Hard". If you make a better AI, how is TripleA going to inform users to use that as the first choice? Calling your AI "Very Hard AI" or changing the name of "Hard AI" to "Medium AI" something else? I wonder.

@black_elk you are the only one. Help us BlackElk

@TheDog Update the underlying engine Version can now be seen when the app version gets clicked multiple times fixed issue with placement of sea/land units in bid place phase (thank you @Panella for pointing this out) fixed issue where wrong amount of pus was assigned to human players when bid is present Thank you

Presently, the behaviour of the game when both sides lose all Soldiers is that the defender wins, and all attacking lords and relics are captured. I tend to think that that is a wrong behaviour, so I've opened an issue about it: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/15090

@Vendetta said: Hopefully, once you’re far enough along in development, you can share a play by play of a test game as a demonstration. Very curious too

@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.

@ubernaut cloudflare is comprehensive, IIRC you can toggle it so any new IP needs to do a captcha style challenge first. If we get attacked for real, then setting up cloudflare would likely be the only thing to restore the forum. OTOH, our data is what most people really want, I doubt very many really want to simply DDOS TripleA

@Vendetta That might be hard to implement in the engine.

@panther said The fact that the installation now went flawlessly shows, that the MS service behind is 'learning'. I agree. I am inclined to think that it is based on the number of downloads Microsoft has in its SAC database, too few and it is a risk, enough and it passes. So from our point of view, we will need to keep a SAC viable downloads list @cowey To confirm, please find out your friends TripleA version, I will guess it is 2026-10.16.15815 ? Just need the last 5 digits, so its probably 15815

@GREGOREK Yah, scrolling both edges sure is cool. I wish this could be possible in an actual (spherical) world (like ours) with some sort of projection, but unfortunately it is not (as far as I know).

@beelee I would suggest erasing the flags which is easy to do in Paint. There is no reason to have flags in unit images, as you can turn flags on with View/Flag Display/Small.

@VictoryFirst I replaced all references to "placeNoAir" to "place" and added <attachment foreach="$All-Players$" name="rulesAttachment" attachTo="@All-Players@" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="placementAnyTerritory" value="true"/> </attachment>

@ubernaut said: @malmessi no reason to be playing 2.8 imo I am playing 3.0 But still checking old 2.8 pdf manual and I was looking for a place to find all the changes joined together, the online game help is perfect

@alkexr hi gent, I’d like to report 2 issues 1: Saruman’s mountain troops are unable to pass through friendly mountainous territory to launch an attack. Is this intended behavior? same thing happens in mordor's turn when a non-mountainer tried to move and attack gondor. 2: i think the acient tower and acient walls and fortress are goood in old versions, why are u removing them? btw, i'd like to join the map test if u agree. thanks
