@crockett36 It is probably not a good idea to use the same file name as an existing map. I will put this my queue of things to cleanup.

In general, I think that scenarios that use existing maps should have their own mod. I don't want to presuppose that someone who is downloading a mod wants to have all scenarios that used the same map.

In earlier version of TripleA, you could reference the map information for another scenario which I found useful.

The girls love it!
Big garden and lots of hiding places for plenty of easter eggs.

Awesome !!!

we had to make a map because my nephew missed one and things started not smelling to good after a couple months lol

@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.

<attachment name="BombersAttackAt4" attachTo="USA-UK" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="gameProperty" value="Allied Bombers Attack At 4"/> </attachment> <attachment name="triggerAttachmentBombersAttackAt4" attachTo="USA-UK" javaClass="TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="BombersAttackAt4"/> <option name="unitType" value="UKbomber:USAbomber"/> <option name="unitAttachmentName" value="UnitAttachment" count="unitAttachment"/> <option name="unitProperty" value="attack" count="4"/> <option name="uses" value="1"/> <option name="when" value="before:ParaSurpriseBattle"/> </attachment>

There you have it! Very useful indeed.

@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.

@victoryfirst

😞

Edit
well lets ping wc @wc_sumpton

@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 🙂

@rogercooper Nice, thanks.

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.

@rogercooper said in Problem with foreach:

The variable system was well coded..

yea redrum did that. He was working on TWW and realized he needed about 1500 triggers so said F it and wrote the code.

But you probably already knew that 🙂

@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.

Cheers...

@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.

@thulsadoom42

Welcome to the site !

Idk how things work specifically all that well, I just bang away until it works. Probably not the best approach 🙂

You can have windows and Linux both installed on. I can't remember. I think I had to do some sort of virtual thing. Anyway, I hate windows so I rarely use it. Probably because I don't know how lol

At any rate, it looks like it's the triplea install giving you trouble. As Panther says, triplea should auto add java for you, so should be good there.

When I DL triplea I don't use the installer command. I just go to permissions and hit execute.

I'll DL a prerelease I've been meaning to do and show you how I do it.

I'm gonna DL 15025 as recommended by The Dog. It's the last one that centers on your Capital. You can force individual maps to do it by tweaking the xml but that's a fair amount of work and frankly shouldn't be necessary.

Anyway, it's a nice feature that you take for granted until it's gone. Then it becomes annoying. It's a simple fix but w/e not my department 🙂

Gonna go here for the prerelease

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15025

you want the unix one as you already know 🙂

Hmm won't let me post the pic. Try a smaller version.

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-41-29.png

So I have 2 Triplea/triplea folders. One with a Big T, which is where the releases live and one with a small t where the games/maps and saves live.

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-43-23.png

Here's the Big T

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-45-27.png

You can see I have 14962 and then another release in a separate folder 15330

I go to downloads and right click on 15025

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-47-36.png

Go to properties and hit Permissions and then execute

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-49-19.png

Then open a terminal and drag 15025 into it

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-51-49.png

hit enter

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-52-52.png

and then follow the prompts. I usually put it in a different folder 15025 will call it. Have to be careful or you have to type the whole thing in.

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-55-44.png

Then just keep hitting next

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-56-48.png

then Finish and it should fire up

You can see the Java version and the triplea version upper left.

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-58-31.png

Oh yea, I guess I shoulda said this first. I can't get the 2.5 stable to work on linux anymore. Probably a couple years now. I've mentioned it to dan a few times but nothing ever came of it.

This is what happens when I try it

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 10-03-14.png

So you can play local or by Forum/email but can't use the lobby. I haven't checked the 2.7 lobby in a while but I think it's still being worked on.

So you will need to use windows to access the lobby. At least that's what I have to do 😞

Let me know if you get stuck somewhere. We'll call in reinforcements 🙂

@gregorek

Shogun Advanced has random territories and random drops called Kami/Spirits/Fate. 1888 has random territories.
Random Territories uses Territories Are Assigned Randomly
Random drops needs another neutral/none player and isConstruct to help distribute the Random drops

1941 Global Command Decision does do weather but it is not random.

You need a Neutral/none player and yes infrastructure is the main way to do this. However there are exceptions.
The Drops can be /turn or can be one off loot. The one off loot needs an end of turn trigger to remove the drop/kami.

Shogun has blocked mountain passes, are variant could be, make them destructible/units, so you attack them to make the pass useable/passable.

@wc_sumpton might have more ideas.

@mammothman64
I guess you are talking about registering for lobby-play? Or for the dice server?
Sorry, there is nothing I can do to register an email-address for you.

The trick is not to use gmail in the TripleA software at all (except for posting to the forum in PBF).
You need to use an email-address of a provider that does not automatically block mails from special senders (such as TripleA-servers obviously).

Try for example proton or gmx.

Good luck!

@beelee GREAT IDEA

THANK YOU B
