TripleA Design

we only count unique devices,
where are you getting these numbers? and again if i am playing against another person i will plan my turn out locally but the “game” is still a multiplayer game. i think most people play this way. i would need to see some kind of proof of this claim that the majority of games played are local human versus ai as i do not believe that is the case.

player alignment screen
assuming you mean player assignment here, but yeah im saying maybe we can improve the look of these screens but the logic and ux itself seems pretty solid as is. at any rate if the top home screen logic is incorrect as it is currently in your proposal any subscreens would be invalid to begin with
@lafayette @panther either of u care to chime in here?

You mean Play-by-Forum/Email or hot-seat? I think (not sure) he/she has the former under the Multiplayer main selection (not the Play locally one).

Actually, maybe better showing the Tutorial (as a map to download) the first time TripleA is opened. However, I don't know if that is up to date: I've not tested it in years.
If the tutorial is working and up to date, I definitely think that should be offered as the first map to download for anyone who opens TripleA for the first time. @zjelcop did put some serious effort into making it. I'm going to play it a bit right now to see if this is the case.
Pact of Steel can be a good map offered for download after the Tutorial for new users.
EDIT: Nevermind, I've tested the Tutorial, and it is outdated. It refers to the Notes being in the right tab and 3 out of 5 tabs shown there (them all except "Action" and "Territory") are different or differently named. Unless someone is going to update the Tutorial soon, forget about my proposal to have it as the first suggested download, I guess. However, I played it a bit, and the rest seems OK for what little I've tried.

@Cernel i believe if we wer to bury the various network game options under a group button the correct terminology would be network or online game vs local game, not multiplayer vs local
his current layout would seem to have room for those additional buttons so i would argue no reason to bury them in the first place

I assume under the understanding that Play-by-Email and Play-by-Forum are local game (not network / online game)?
Anyway, my suggestion remains having the trichotomy Play Online, Play by Message and Play Offline.

@Cernel i think you could make the argument either wae all im saying here is if there room for all of those primary options why bury any of them? they are distinct modes of play

@xxxeddiexxx @cernel @thedog had an idea which could be a compromise so as to not bury any buttons but still fix the choice parlays issue i believe is wat eddie is bringing up here

fyi this was made by gemini in like 5 minutes i think maybe local and load should be distinct
-
@xxxeddiexxx @cernel @thedog v2 i added a news box to the bottom also

-
realized we were still missing a button i could not get gemini to put this on its own row but you all get the idea

Hi EddieX
This is what's needed on the opening page. Imo


Think that adding one more Category at the top of that list should be "New to Triplea" or "First Time Triplea" something to that affect.
New people should be able to figure out to click on that. Then the old or veteran, who are mostly probably old
don't need to jump through any extra hoops.The new player clicks on new and all the stuff needed to clue them in pops up.
Edit
The color is what makes it. The Lobby can use a color update too
Anyway, ubernaut pretty much got it
