Hi Cat

Yea so you can only have 1 Elite in a TTy. Elites can only be placed in their Capital, so triplea is able to enforce this for the Capital TTy only. Other TTys are Player Enforced.

So you need to remember to move the previous Elite out of the Capital TTy or it won't allow you to place.

Also, Paratroopers do not place in the 1st place phase. They place same as normal Inf with the exception that they can only be placed in their Capital.

And generally you will want to demo Infrastructure during 2nd place so you can use it during your turn if you want.

Edit
Yea if you buy the demo harbor unit, it will kill the Harbor when you place it. No biggie as you used edit to create the same result. It looks kinda cool to see it "en fuego" though 🙂

A note about Commandos and Marines. It is best to pair them with Arty on a 1:1 basis so they can get boosted to 3 on attack. The way triplea has to do it, is make the standard Marine/Commando, the one you purchase, Attack 2 D2. The Arty gives plus 1 to make A3.

However, if the Marine/Commando doesn't have Arty support, it will attack at 2 which is incorrect. It should attack at 1 same as a normal Infantry.

In that case, you need to use edit to swap it with a "MarineA1" so it will only attack at 1.

It would be so much easier if they just attacked at 2 regardless but those are the Captain's rules and he isn't interested in adjusting them 🙂

That's why Armored Inf is a better buy for USA but they are limited, so the Marine still has a place, especially early when US economy is still making Fords 🙂

Edit 2
You should also get savvy with Rail movement. For example instead of moving the 2 S Africa Inf 1 space, in NCM you can move to Egypt if you want. As long as you have a continous string of connected TTys at the Start of your turn.

Click on the Rail Unit and then click on the Inf and move him where you want. Some Country's have different restrictions than others.

Im glad you like the map and it has got you all excited 😁 even at your age.

It was exasperating and fun to design the map.

My thoughts run about the same as those already mentioned. IMO most of the errors posted on GitHub are the auto-generated, so if the forums are used to gather additional information, that would be a good thing.

Right arm. Yea I hadn't been on 2.7 lobby for some time. I remember there were some there for a while but they were limited in how they performed.

Keep up the good work !

If this is the latest documentation it will need amending to reflect your post above.
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/blob/main/docs/map-making/reference/map-yml-file.md

I see 'version' is in the docs, that should be taken out.. The rest of it at a glance looks okay. Was there something else in there that needs updating? As far as YAML goes, it's a question of the differing formats. In the shorthand format, the quotes are needed so that YAML knows where the field ends. In the long-hand format, with 'map_name' on its own line, YAML infers the data type based on the first character of the value. So, it can tell the value is text, and YAML treats the rest of the line as text.

A lot of maps, map.yml format will be like mine, single player there appears to be no problem. However will the new 2.7 lobby work correctly?

There are going to be two servers! The lobby server and "support server". It was planned to have 3, {lobby, support, maps}, but maps & support were combined.

Immediately, the support server won't be able to index maps that have a bad map.yaml file. Those maps won't be listed as available for download. Locally, eventually the map will be invisible to the game itself. I think there is some flagging put into the code right now to use the old map loading system. In short, it will become a problem soon.

After the 2.7 launch, I have high on my list to try and provide a map indexing status page of some sort. I recognize that process is pretty opaque right now.

@panzerstahl-helm-0 Thanks. I see you have quite a game going on with Alex right now. But whenever you want to start up a Game 3, I am ready. I usually have a bit more time for our hobby during the holidays as I work in an industry that slows down quite a bit at this time with folks taking vacation time.

@rogercooper thank you so much!

@crockett36 scramble orders for 110 and 111?

@rogercooper said in Polygon Grabber Missing:

2.7.15204

It was really helpful knowing a known good version too! This and the screenshot and the terse statement of the problem were kinda perfect 😄

@wc_sumpton
Another rabbit out of the hat!

I thought this was not possible because of multiple capitals for a nation.

Next release will have the above in and links to 2.7.15025
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15025

As this release gives centering focus on active player's capital at the start of their turn.

@panther
Thank you and @LaFayette for looking into and talking care of this.

Happy Thanksgiving to both and your families.

No way !!!

Ask away 🙂

Start a new game and screenshot the Naval Mines

testing to see if I can delete a post

edit
I can't 🙂

@simon-hibbs
It should all be in the documentation, best to give it a read and in game use the tool tips.

@simon-hibbs

Don't feel bad, me and @beelee have talked at great lengths about our 'Duh' moments. I feel like I haven't learned something if I haven't slapped my head a couple of times. In a pinch a solid wall will also suffice.
