Remember if you decide to attack E. Poland that only one Army Group can be active and only one Army within the Panzer Group can be active. So even though you have four armies there. Only one is active. Hope that helps. Also this is the kind of situation where the battle calculator will not be accurate. What I do in this situation is do old-fashioned arithmetic with paper and pen. But that's not something that most people in 2026 like to do. But my solution is accurate 100% of the time.

@RogerCooper

The second method is to take control of another players units.
Screenshot 2026-03-06 153311.png
To let Germany take control of the 4 units in Bulgaria and the one unit in Varna.
In the unitAttachment for infantry add <option name="canBeCapturedOnEnteringBy" value="Germans"/>.
In the territoryAttachment for Bulgaria and Varna add <option name="captureUnitOnEnteringBy" value="Germans"/>.
In the playerAttachment for Neutral_Player add <option name="captureUnitOnEnteringBy" value="Germans"/>.
And set <property name="Capture Units On Entering Territory" value="true"/>.
Then this <option name="changeOwnership" value="Bulgaria:any:Germans:true"/> in a trigger, the 'when' can be any step.
After Germany's noncombat move.
Screenshot 2026-03-06 171112.png
The 4 units changed, but not factory or the Territory and because Germany moved into Varna during noncombat the unit and territory does not change.
Adding <option name="canTakeOverOwnedTerritory" value="true"/> to the relationshipTypeAttachment between Germany and Neutral_Player to get this.
Screenshot 2026-03-06 154000.png
Control of the units happens on the 'true' setting of 'changeOwnership' and changes at the 'when'.

Cheers...

@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.

@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 🙂

It's a bit complicated where the servers stand. I had to migrate the 2.7 server back to the 2.5 server to handle legacy technology issues from the 2.5 server just being super-old now.

On the plus side, the needed configurations have been identified. Only issue is getting enough time and energy to tackle it. My professional job has been pretty damn demanding of late.

If I get a good opportunity to advance the next steps, I think these last pieces will land quickly.

@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.

@gregorek

Techs can be applied but can't be removed. They are cumulative. Tech_A could add +1 to a unit's movement while Tech_B adds -1 to the same unit's movement while Tech_C adds another +1. All three techs would be applied to the same unit, making its final movement +1. Techs are applied to all units belong to a player. Giving a +1 movement bonus to Kimmeridgian pterodactylus would be given to all pterodactylus, but only to the Kimmeridgian player.

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.

@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!
