@RogerCooper said: @KurtGodel7 How are you going to enforce "Sticky Hits"? I've used AI to make a few tweaks to the engine. The modified version of the engine lives only on my computer. The modified engine allows me to do the following: Reinterpretation of air combat. The map is divided into air theaters. You assign fighters and bombers to each theater. For example, eastern Germany and the western Soviet Union are part of the Germany vs USSR theater. During the dogfight phase, air units shoot at each other, using their dogfight values. Note that air superiority aircraft, such as fighters, advanced fighters, and jets are excellent during the dogfight phase. Then, you pick targets for your surface attack. Maybe you have German dive bombers strafing a couple Soviet territories, and Soviet dive bombers strafing a German territory or two. During the surface attack phase, the armies getting strafed do not fire back, except for aa guns. Sticky hits are automatically enforced. Research system. Each nation has a fixed number of research centers, with each research center generating one tech advance per turn. There is a 40% chance of the tech advance being in its primary focus, a 20% chance of it being its secondary focus, and a 40% chance of it being chosen at random. Each advance causes a dull grey star to be replaced by a bright yellow star. For example, heavy tanks tech starts you out with four dull grey stars. Each advance you get in tanks tech replaces a dull grey star with a bright yellow star. Once you have all four bright yellow stars you unlock heavy tanks. Advanced Production Centers (APCs). Special units, such as heavy tanks, fleet carriers, jets, or Superfortresses cannot be built with PUs. They can only be produced with APCs. Each APC produces one special unit per turn. However, it takes two turns to produce a Superfortress or flying wing. Manpower points, or MPs. These are an additional resource type. Imagine a purely hypothetical nation rich in manpower points, but poor in PUs. This nation "China" can have a large infantry force. But it will not have very many non-infantry units due to low PUs. The Soviet Union can have the world's biggest infantry force, as well as plenty of PUs for non-infantry units. Territories produce MPs only for their original owner. Lend-lease. British and American units are not allowed onto Soviet or Chinese soil. As if to make up for this, the British and American players can build munitions. Munitions are allowed onto Soviet or Chinese soil. Upon the end of the Soviet or Chinese player's turn, they are converted into Soviet or Chinese PUs. If a transport with munitions aboard gets sunk, the munitions are destroyed. If the Axis captures a territory with munitions present, those munitions are immediately converted into PUs for that Axis nation.

@malmessi there is an addendum section almost all of the changes are in there

@TheDog Update the underlying engine Version can now be seen when the app version gets clicked multiple times fixed issue with placement of sea/land units in bid place phase (thank you @Panella for pointing this out) fixed issue where wrong amount of pus was assigned to human players when bid is present Thank you

@black_elk you are the only one. Help us BlackElk

@beelee said: right after I post this it starts working normally classic 🫡

This game has some seriously weird and wrong behaviours and unsupported rules for ships. I'm trying to address them. More information here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/15013

@panther said The fact that the installation now went flawlessly shows, that the MS service behind is 'learning'. I agree. I am inclined to think that it is based on the number of downloads Microsoft has in its SAC database, too few and it is a risk, enough and it passes. So from our point of view, we will need to keep a SAC viable downloads list @cowey To confirm, please find out your friends TripleA version, I will guess it is 2026-10.16.15815 ? Just need the last 5 digits, so its probably 15815

@VictoryFirst You need to keep in mind that A&A combat consists of a number of interlocking pieces and that changing one can throw the balance off. It is unrealistic that a small force of infantry can stop a tank blitz but is even more unrealistic that battles run an unlimited number of rounds, that there is no retreat and the lack of supply rules. Making blitzing easier makes things hard for the Russians on the Eastern Front.

@Rrrrricky said: Hey everyone, im new here. Trying to modify NO's on World War ii v3 1942 map. Github looks locked apparently? I couldn't create an account there for some reason. Any ideas? TY! Why did you want to change the NO's? If you want different NO's, you need to create a new mod.

Version History Version 3.0 (2026-10-11) Initial beta release

Hello, I'm back. So uh idk if I'll do much but probably will do something like maybe get a game set up (idk if like via forum or online depending on time constrants).

@Vendetta Currently using the XML, you can configure this to work exactly in the way you described, except for "Allies retreating to different territories". Currently all units go to one territory. The Pull Request is almost merge-ready, it just needs a bit of improvements outlined at the GitHub page. @iratoric How are things looking right now? Are you planning to work on the last bits of the PR?

@husky81 So now you have your initial baseline results, Im hoping for now, that you stop using your Tokens verses Hard-AI, Easy-AI and Does Nothing, and just concentrate on using them, against Fast-AI ? What are your plans for testing for improvements to Claude-AI ?

@RogerCooper said: more sense to have the executive module set a broad plan and then the other modules figure how to execute the plan. I was thinking that the plan would be more emergent rather than preset if it was set by local processes, but maybe you're right. I will try both ways. The issue with global plannig i think will be getting the nescessary information to the executive and have it analyze that info appropriately without just simulating all possibilities (which isn't possible.) My account is drained of tokens now, so progress is on temporary hiatus.

@VictoryFirst I replaced all references to "placeNoAir" to "place" and added <attachment foreach="$All-Players$" name="rulesAttachment" attachTo="@All-Players@" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="placementAnyTerritory" value="true"/> </attachment>

@GREGOREK Yah, scrolling both edges sure is cool. I wish this could be possible in an actual (spherical) world (like ours) with some sort of projection, but unfortunately it is not (as far as I know).
