Hi - I've had some questions from a few people who haven't played PBEM before. Here's the link to how to play PBEM. First step is to just register for the Marti dice server, and the rest is quite easy!

@frostion Yah that is the idea. In my example the BB would actually change twice...

Unit starts as a BB

Turns into BBdamaged

Then turns into BBhvydamaged

This idea could be used in other ways as well for something like a production facilities which could have far more hit points... like 16 HP changes to a lower producing version with 8 or more damage.

@crazyg @redrum Yup as I said. I have made some adjustments across the map to compensate for the unit changes.

Once the entire thing is ready... I will create a changelog. Then we can see if my powers of foretelling are accurate .

@hepps LOL :)

@prastle Don't see how those would help in this situation. That is definitely good as a solution for a bombard capability and is a feature already included in GD in various ways. Explain to me how you would alter its behavior in an XML to perform as a mine?

@frostion looks GREAT! nice job!

@redrum Thanks for the offer Red, but fortunately after much testing and searching today I isolated and found the issue.

It was actually a wrong modifier value attached to the Combat Engineer in the "Special Warfare" tech.

Which means I am nearly 100% ready. Now that this major issue is resolved... I can look at why the British trucks in the Soviet Far East don't disappear when they are supposed to.

I'm a Mod. I muted MB for referring to himself in the third person. seriously, he was disparaging a Mod who was not there to defend himself. After a 10 min. mute for profanity, he started slamming epi. epi was not in the lobby. I muted him for a day.

Fix for this issue: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/2352

@benlessard Yah Venezuela/Colombia neutral/impassable is one of the traditional nonsense of A&A games, also realistically. Obviously, it should be "Americans", and it should have like 2 PUs value (platinum/oil...).
The v6 map has some things I like; also the fact that Japan is not that strong.

I am experiencing some problems with my newly created account:

@cernel @Hepps Changes should be in the pre-release now. It would be nice to group units that are the same and have the same damage but that would require significant work. A scroll bar should pop up if you have more than about 10. I took a look at showing max damage as well but unfortunately it would take a decent amount of work to add.

When 64 bit processors compatible with the x86 architecture were introduced, they were referred to as x86-64. x86-32 (and x86-16) were used for the 32 (and 16) bit versions. This was eventually shortened to x64 for 64 bit and x86 alone refers to a 32 bit processor. The 32 bit processors are designed to handle a limited amount of physical memory maximum of 4GB but 64 bit can handle high memory utilizing 8,16 and some even32 GB.

Going back to old DB introduces some new problems, we are really limping along here. https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/2342 to track this state and coordinate a longer term fix, likely a patch will be applied to not read from old DB at all, and we'll upgrade lobby software once more.

Most of the bots are connected again, it's good to rejoin the lobby now.

Let's use gitter to discuss exactly which version of what is installed where. I'll remove the bots as needed, though SSH just crashed on the test lobby... Hard to know what to make of that other than it needed reboot at least..
