@Cernel If someone would have made Big World this year, I think there would be little doubt that it is not any kind of outstanding map to be featured Totally agree, and nostalgia is not one of my tick boxes. People play it, so it must have some redeeming features, but from a my perception of what new players want, it does not cut it. The competition in the WW2 Global group is fierce, A&A maps and the ones listed all surpass it, so removed.

@ubernaut ok. I hope that's it then.

@Trout Good morning. No scramble. Ok to change the purchases as mentioned above. peace out

@TheDog said: Would your super-dupa placementAnyTerritory fix Thanks for the thought. This hack helps with the placement of factory/construction type units which were not placed by the AI's normal purchase-placement routine. Here the problem is with purchasing, which the AI is not doing because the AI does not find when to start a simulated purchase. Without creating a purchase, there is nothing to place. For my testing, replacing "placeNoAirCheck" with "place" does allow the AI to make purchases but this does not seem to work for @rogercooper. I'm not replacing the delegate "NoAirCheckPlaceDelegate" with the "PlaceDelegate" as there would be no change in my testing. So maybe @rogercooper could test if changing both the name and delegate makes any difference. Cheers...

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0 Guten Tag Close to a meltdown. I'm trying not to go there. Fckn idiots are fckn everything up and think they can bullshit me why it is lol I woulda never hired any of them and if I did they'd all be fired Whatever F it Sent another big motherfucker over to try and intimidate me. It didn't work lol I said wtf you just get your job because you're big and stupid or just big he didn't like that too much. I said just kidding but he knew I wasn't

@beelee Thank you so much!

@Pieta_Panettone Hi Pieta Welcome to the site The current pbf is broken so we do it like this. here's a link that is slightly dated. There is no Game topic anymore and a different dice server, which sadly isn't as good as the old one, but it still basically explains it. https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4151/johnny-cat-tutorial and Victory's link is here https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4076/1-trout-axis-vs-victoryfirst-allies-g40-house-rules-expansion-by-the-captain?page=1 anyway once the emails are registered it basically works like this start a game in pbem do turn copy turn summary make a save and then post the summary and the save to the game thread which is in pbf then opponent DLs save and repeats the process Let us know if you have any trouble and we'll get it sorted. Have Fun Gaming

@Alexander-The-Great Hi Alex That is a good question. My interpretation would be that it does but I've never asked the Captain.

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0 Sorry for the delay on this round - also, I think you need to move your other game

I recommend checking your spam folder for emails from the new dice server. Also, try using ProtonMail if Gmail gives you trouble.

@lafayette It seems that the problem I had has happened to these guys. I didn't talk to them, just saw their conversation [image: Screenshot from 2026-09-08 22-56-39.png]

@lafayette Thanks for the quick fix.

@ptt196 The Triple AI has has some tweaks over the past couple of years, but it is really up to the map maker to squeeze the most out of the AI. See here if you fancy improving your favoured map. https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3743/how-to-make-a-map-ai-friendly WW2 wise 1941 Global Command Descision will give a good game, as its AI has been tweeked. https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3326/1941-global-command-decision-official-thread

@LaFayette Right Arm I been seeing the spinning circle a bit more frequently ever since the Big June update. I know the other site gets hammered pretty hard sometimes. I think Djensen got some counters but sometimes they still get through.
