How do I find a map that would play today's World War 3?

@nick1907 I didn't know World War 3 was being fought today. It didn't make this morning's newspaper.

If you are looking for hypothetical World War 3's, you can checkout https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Hypothetical, many of the referenced pages are for "World War 3". I would suggest at interesting mods, NWO_Doomsday, World War 2010, 2013 Conflict

If you want map for your own scenario, you can take a look at https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Category:TripleA_World_Maps.

Another way of looking as at https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Timeline, checking the years from 1945 on.

@rogercooper Thank you very much for your feedback and please excuse me. I mean of course a hypothetical World War 3's map for triple a.

I love TripleA but I'm new here. I hope you can help me. I have a few questions.

if i have gedwonloaded the map, how and in which folder exactly do i have to copy the map so that i can play it?
where can i find new maps for trippleA to play?

@nick1907 When you open up TripleA, you will see a button on the left saying download maps. Click that it and it open a window for downloading. There will be an alphabetical list of maps. Select the list of maps and then click install. The new maps will then be available when you click Select Game. You don't to worry about folders unless you want to create your own mods.

If you find a mod on the wiki, https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Axis_%26_Allies_Wikipedia, that is not in the download list, let me know.

Welcome to the site @nick1907

Actually WW III is being fought right now. It just hasn't gone nuclear yet lol Just kidding kinda

Here's a link to the map page on git. You might find it easier to scroll through them https://github.com/triplea-maps

@RogerCooper @beelee Thank you very much for your feedback.

but in the game, when i click on download maps, do i find all the maps that are available for the game? Is there no other web page where I can also download other maps?
if I download the maps manually and not via the game itself, where exactly do I have to save them so that I can start them?
when I download maps via the game, I have often noticed that certain maps do not start and I get an error message. Do you have the same problem and if so, how can I fix it?

@nick1907

downloadedmaps

and put it in there

here's a detailed link https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36998/global-1940-and-1943-expansion-for-use-with-triplea?page=1

Post a saved game or screensot of the error next time it happens.

What engine version are you using ?

2.6.14752 is pretty much the latest, although a few new ones out

Nick1907

@beelee Thank you. Unfortunately, I don't have the latest version of TripleA. How exactly can I update the software?

beelee

@nick1907

The home page has it. https://triplea-game.org/

What OS are you using ? Mac has been somewhat problematic for as long as I can remember but it does work

Edit
this all of the versions https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/

Thank you, I use Windows.
So I can only update the version if I completely reinstall the game?

@nick1907

the install should be just follow the prompts. Most are on windows, so i think its pretty user friendly for it.

It will ask if you want to put it in your current folder. You can say no and rename the folder. I just use the number.

So you can have multiple versions at same time

Edit
The Dog has a detailed post about it. Idk where it is but shouldn't be too hard to find

When I download and install the tripleA from the site: https://triplea-game.org/download/ I unfortunately still only have the engine version: 2.5.2294

What am I doing wrong?
