World At War needs FIXING!
-
Does Sieg ever come on here and answer questions? I would really like to discuss some of the problems with 2.1 Engine ruining the World At War map.
-
@TANK As far as I know, the map is currently owned by @redrum (unless he's done with it).

Hrmmmm... who should i talk to about fixing issues? Redrum?

@TANK As far as I know, @redrum is the only user that might implement any changes to this game you may suggest or request. If, instead, the map is unowned, I suppose this is the list of members that can do so:
https://github.com/orgs/triplea-maps/peopleMy suggestion is publicly discussing any such matters within the official World At War thread I linked.
If there is a non-playability problem about the map or the program or both, instead, you are supposed to use this form to report it:

@Cernel Problem is, no one has posted in that thread for over 6 months!!! However, with new 2.1 Engine, maybe redrum will check in for updates/issues... sigh
-
@TANK The released version of TripleA has remained the same for more than 1 year before the 2.0 release, that happened only about a month ago. The "World At War" game version has not changed for longer than that.

@Cernel I can tell you , i upgraded to 2.1 a few days ago, and the games ive played thus far have changed dramatically. There are several things going on that were not going on when i played on 1.9, with the WaW map.

Then I suggest you to report them all in here:

@Cernel When is the last time you talked to redrum? Or anyone who is actually able to fix the WaW map?

I'm not seeing how this matter. To be clear, I've never played the game.
-
@Cernel OH... Well thanks for your help anway. I posted in forum and messaged redrum directly. Hopefully i get a response.

@TANK we try to work as a team so that any given maintainer can take a vacation. Any unowned maps are 'owned' by the map-admin team. That is roughly 3 people currently. Please explain the problems you are seeing.

@LaFayette I typically play axis. I was playing world at war, with engine 2.1 vs A.I. , and had numerous problems i never had with Engine 1.9.
I gave all Allies150% income, and set on AI(HARD) to make it more challenging.After i took Paris, the French should build a complex or 2 in Africa. They did not. When the Koreans took Benjarmasin, the Dutch should build complex in South America. They did not. This is a HUGE programming error that can give the Allies a serious disadvantage in the southern theater.
Also the Aussies didnt build more troops and transports to defend Port Moresby, Townsville, and barely any for Canberra (capital). They just built a bunch of navy, and then ran away with it! LOL?
Also, when you try to move troops onto transports as a group, they DO NOT ask you where you want the units, they just throw them on the transports.
I had 5 infantry in Saipan, and 1 big transport, and 2 T boat. I tried to click on 4 infantry and move them onto the big trans, but it would NOT prompt me to chose where i was putting them. It just put 2 on the T boats and 2 on big trans! It SHOULD prompt me any time I put ANY amount less than the whole stack on transports/cruisers/subs, even if its just 1 unit. Again, this was not a problem in 1.9, only now in 2.1.Please fix these problems ASAP, or tell me where I can load 1.9 again, since it seems to be much better and more stable.
Thanks!

I am very sorry about your issues. The building of "Factory" units is a "know" AI issue and is affecting other maps. Also the same can be said about the Aussies "problem". So the map does not require fixing.
If you wish you can go here to down load an older version.
Cheers...

@wc_sumpton Im confused. You are admitting both problems ,but then say the map does NOT need fixing. Obviously SOMETHING needs fixing or re-programming, right? Are you saying the ENGINE needs fixing, and NOT the map?
Please explain, and please keep in mind... im trying to help you guys out here.

Quite clearly yes.
The transport loading issue seems a problem I believe you should report using this form:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/new@redrum has a thread for about anything AI related here:

@Cernel Ok thanks.
