IMHO the impact of changes on core game rules (different rulesets) should be tested with the core games, that are the WWII v1-v6 Versions and Global1940 2nd Ed. games.

However to save some time one could exclude v4 and v6 from testing, as those are simplifications of v3/v5.

Of course I don't deny to test other great games such as those already mentioned in this topic.

I am a person who loves to play games, especially interesting games modded apk for android version at Techzapk. I appreciate mod apk versions of cool games for Android.

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 2.6+00000, time: 18:55:31

I think sounds are the most neglected part of TripleA.

Here it is a feature request of mine, on the matter:
https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/275/units-specific-placed-sounds

Other things would be getting a sound every time you click on units and having background sounds, general, per turn, per phase (keeping playing only for as long as the phase is active) and per phase and turn.

Another thing would be able to order the priority by which support bonuses/maluses are assigned (For example, if there is an artillery which can support an infantry or an elite, to decide which gets the support.). I've a feature request open for that too.

I would love to see this too. Are you planning on only making the Skyrim province or the entire (Tamriel) world map?

@rickenbacker said in Map features to help newer players?:

Is there a way to toggle sea zone numbers on?

Yes-ish
Edit the map.properties
Add this on a new line map.showSeaZoneNames=true
and save it

What about a zoom in to 125% or 150%?

Download the latest version of TripleA from here
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases
It can zoom in and out with ctrl+mouse scroll
It also has lots of goodies and is faster than 2.5 for AI players.

Sorry, I had confusion between similarly named mods.

@LaFayette I have a Lobby sign in TheDog, so when your ready I will start experimenting/entering the tags.

@cernel said in 🏯 The Shogun - Official Thread:

My suggestion is to rework the units as to have them all roundly priced or else doubling all costs and all production values but the unit production values.

As a principle I agree with you, but as you know the AI does a good job of valuing units against other units, after much testing of whole pu, I decided on 4.5pu, that is 2 units for 9pu.

As to doubling pu, the territory pu display is on the reliefTiles and so is too labour intensive to change.

The answer next time will be to use vector software like Inkscape, think free Adobe Illustrator and put all the changeable/moveable art on layers on top of the reliefTiles layer on top of the baseTiles layer.

.

However, I'm just not understanding why the Teppo-Ashigaru is "10 for 2 units" instead of just "5 for 1 unit".

For the AIs benefit, it would buy Teppo units over Yari units at 5pu each, but with 2x Teppo for 10pu, the Yari mix was better.

Historically Teppo replaced bows where the Daimyos could, but Yari were alway common on the battlefield.

Not ideal but you can always change the values in the xml. 😕

@lafayette Thank You switched to Brave and it works. Must be a firefox issue

@cernel It depends on how much support is provided by Java Swing to render webp.

Though, the big gains will be from simplifying the code and not storing in memory images that are unnecessary. The mini-map is stored in memory at full size and is constantly shrunk down to the small mini-map size (that is a large chunk of memory usage right there).

So, a better format could have some gains if it is efficiently handled.

@beelee Thanks - first time really getting to look again, then life beacons again...

I agree it was the first map I played.

Congrats to @nardwagg and @hammond on their great finals game, and for donating their winnings to the triplea community! Also thank you to all of the players for making this the fastest ToC ever, only 3.5 weeks for the entire tourney!

If there’s enough interest we can do ToC19 very soon, and continue to do them more frequently to keep the fun and momentum going. Thanks again, everyone!

Been playing this map a bit again, and found a minor visibility issue to add

issue 13 - unit visibility in Taiwan can be poor. I missed some Jap dive bombers in Taiwan; they really blend in due to how the territory and unit placements are setup. The unit border ends up in the same place as the territory border which means its outline doesn't really show, and it overlaps with the text of the province name.

Update now available from [Download Maps] button listed in the Experimental tab as Arena of Death, includes;

New Arena Map - as the post above

4 Placeable Terrain pieces
column - one stack
hill - Adds 1 range to Archers-shot or Archer-Shot-1 - by trigger
impassable - Impassable to all
marsh - Slows movement by 1 when leaving hex. WARNING do NOT enter with a 1 move hero

Fix some minor bugs

@beelee Yeah, unless something is not as expected; 2.6 and beyond should no longer show that message (either the save will run, or it won't due to some other error; but the engine will stop refusing to even to try and load the save game)
