@KurtGodel7 Fascinating. My own tech system overhaul plays closer to vanilla but has 45 universal techs and 48 national exclusives (4 each for ANZAC/China/France and 6 each for Germany/Italy/Japan/UK/US/USSR). It would be interesting to compare notes on that once I've finished getting it all written up.

Update: loading fills own transports first, allied ones only take the rest stats tab shows a total row per alliance with more than one nation battle calculator resets the chosen attacker when another nation's turn starts Thank you

@black_elk you are the only one. Help us BlackElk

@TheDog said: @husky81 You and Claude have been busy! 🤯 So much info to absorb. So tempting to customise just for one map and very hard to keep it generic like the TripleA AIs. The list of tried and tested tactics is awesome. Having a list like that allows the Claude AI to 'try' the neutral tactics and for it to learn if they work on its new current map. For me a standout is Keeping tanks inside the main stack instead of one step behind: detrimental (a nice confirmation of the owner’s principle). On maps like 1941GCD, this is a valid Russian tactic. But for Germany , I cannot afford not to keep the German tanks out of the Attack stack. I guess its map dependant? Its fab to see the win ratio has increased, well done! To clarify, it only keeps the tanks outside the main stack when safe (at least that's the intended behaviour), it may still mess up. That's trickier in the mid and late game as Germany on a normal map, because the rear tank stack has to contend with air plus naval units coming in. I still play like that in some positions though, a stack of tanks and new infantry in Baltics connecting Germany to Karelia, the Baltic tanks defend both landings in France and put pressure on Arch, Finland and West Russia. Of course once the Allies have enough Units in Finland, this becomes unenable.

@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

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

I may have already found part of the answer to my own question in the following code: <attachment name="playerAttachment" attachTo="British" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.PlayerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="shareTechnology" value="UK_Pacific"/> <option name="helpPayTechCost" value="UK_Pacific"/> <option name="retainCapitalNumber" value="2"/> <option name="destroysPUs" value="false"/> </attachment> Except that I'm not sure it actually works; as it currently only accepts payment from the UK_Pacific and not the British.

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

@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

Can someone help me readjust the relief tiles to match the new shape of Britain and Ireland? Here is the old one: [image: old_uk.png] And here is the new one: [image: new uk.png]
