I like maps that are aesthetically pleasing to look at. Map rotations, curves, extreme squeezings/stretches, and abnormally big Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, or Africa are just not good. Standard maps aren't suitable either because they make Europe too small. It’s better to use an equirectangular projection, get rid of all the unpleasant stuff I listed, and subtly shrink non-European territories.[image: 1782041112853-wwi_more-territories-resized.png]

@RogerCooper Yea I haven't looked at the new map process closely yet. I have updated a preexisting map twice and both times it has updated to the latest in the lobby fwtiw

@drumstick919 @lafayette i’m wondering if this might have something to do with the new skin engine?

@Kindwind Any further progress on this. I would like to see a report of an actual game. Even seeing the first turn would be enough to see whether you are getting somewhere. Note that OOB Axis & Allies 1942 (2nd edition) strongly favors the Axis. It would be better to use the Larry Harris alternate setup.

Update to 2.58 [image: 1781724459933-screenshot-from-2026-06-17-14-26-44.png]

I like Darcula - except the politics panel - those colours are a pain, indeed.

@RogerCooper The wiki option was looked at some time ago, you may recall the thread. 'fandom' uses an older wiki syntax and would make a transition to it not awesome. We'd have to rewrite all of our docs in the that syntax. Axis and Allies meanwhile is a trademarked term owned by Hasbro and we can not, should not, have anything official for TripleA that is associated with that trademark. Hosting our documentation under a URL with a trade marked term that we do not own could create an incorrect perception of an affiliation.

I can confirm that it downloads fine now. That already was a good example for the workflow. Thank you

I suppose it is worth pointing out that a 'revert' in git is just an undo update. The code history in Git is write-once. Git never deletes anything. So, in a revert update, based on the reverted change: any lines that were added are removed, and any removed lines are re-added. So, a revert is a new update, it just an inverted update to cancel out a previous one. Revert PRs are not at all special to Git, it's just another update. Once a revert is merged, a person can revert the revert update, add more changes to it, and then merge all of that as one bundle. So, a flow might be like this (the letters on the left hand side represent the commit ID, AKA the commit SHA): a43ae Some update that introduced a bug 3ads2 Revert: Some update that introduced a bug fae54 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug + Bug Fix Changes to the code base are "squashed" together. When a person clicks the revert for the revert, that creates a new proposed change. Bug fixes can be added to that proposed change, then it'll all be squashed together as a single commit that is then released. For example, when reverting the revert, this change would be proposed: abc12 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug In that proposed change, we can add the bug fix, eg: abc12 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug fea23 Bug fix Then, when merged, that would land on the main branch and in the history as one commit, eg: fae54 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug + Bug Fix

@schulz I mean, is there any difference between going with 48px and then zooming in on the map vs going with 54px and then zooming out? Because zoomed-out 54px looks better than zoomed-in 48px? Politicians answer. My logic goes like this, 2 & 4K screens have lots of pixels and as tech advances they will have more, this means that the standard 48x48px unit gets smaller and smaller on these screens, so now we need to draw the biggest unit icons we can and this is 54px high, width can be lots, lets say up to 96px wide. Another current hard parameter is 200% zoom. . How good is the AI in this map? I will make an outrageous claim and say 1941 Global Command Decision is the best AI you will play against. but I would say that wouldn't I. This map is written for solo play, Black_Elk & I spent ages play testing against the AI. The forum for GCD has 1.8 million views, so players must think its worth looking at. Also I like to think I know how the AI works, if that's possible, see here https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3743/how-to-make-a-map-ai-friendly . handling of upkeep Resources are calculated at the being of the players turn, thanks to wc_sumpton. This means losses and gains of TT/SZ and no of units is all done at the start of the players turn. . handling of terrain & weather It all appears to work as intended, play it and judge for yourself. . diplomacy Has not changed, its all still random, so 1941 GCD does not have any politics, its all scripted. However for FFA maps 1888A has "get impending winners", a set of triggers that forces the AI players to take a step closer to war/fighting the impending winners.

@Panther Not sure where to post this, so I'll put it here for now [image: 1781534549177-screenshot-from-2026-06-15-09-39-34.png] Edit Git issue https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/14614

Latest version v265 ready for download in TripleA.

This probably returns the AI game play as before, but we shall see .

@Nothingtoseehere You will need to use workarounds here or play at https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/ PBF works fine there, as the forum-software is on a lower (but compatible) version than here.

@LaFayette @ubernaut The good news is that emails land in gmail-accounts again (let's see how long). The dice-email go to the spam-folder - but that's easy to handle!

I noticed on GitHub there has a few problems with the latest 2026 version. I am still on, its good for solo play. https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2026.06.16.15624 and it is performing very well and is still java 25, consider rewinding to this version. .

@RogerCooper @thedog i was thinking i might try to recruit @wc_sumpton to help us but the basic problem is the version that we have does not appear to be very far along compared to some of the posts so it’s kind of hard to tell what they were thinking with the map also some of the territories are sort of microscopic i think there might be a problem with unit stacking as it stands as well
