I'll probably begin to play both Steampunk Advance and Camerons version to sort of plan out more ideas

@thedog for sure

@panther That is cool I have missed out on that!

Not the smoothest interface but it's all there!
I realize the coolest visualization is if you could show all countries that had any kind of battle, click it and see which troops moved in there and from where and be able to look at battle calc and expected outcome vs real outcome.

But very cool that the data is there!

P.S How does a unit with a +1 bonus support a single unit twice?

Cheers

Thanks for your suggestions!
I won't be so active because of the school work, but I will look these up later in the summer break.

@panzerstahl-helm-0 Thanks Panzer. Yes, we can start a game whenever you want. I honestly would need a little tutorial in how to get it started. Is it something as simple as I can just post a new topic and then send you my G1 via Play by Email?? If so, then yes I can send you my G1 in next couple of days. As for your victory, I think my downfall started when you knocked out ANZAC. Japan knocking out ANZAC is not a killing blow by itself but since I was completely unprepared for it with your brilliant disguising of your intentions, it happened without me having any plan to counter it 😞 Then you introduced me to the "Gibraltar stack" which was new to me also. In any case, congrats again on kicking my fanny.

Boxes seems like AA50 and Mega Global lol

@beelee said in Scenario Design on Wiki:

@rogercooper

I wonder if the "Axis and Allies" and "TripleA" is problematic.

When I started the wiki, TripleA was still in its early years and the content was less focused on TripleA. I have never received a complaint from Hasbro, Renegade Studios or anybody else.

@wc_sumpton said in What "canMoveAirUnitsOverOwnedLand" does and oughts to do:

@cernel

I'm sorry what I meant was the default setting for archType Neutral "canMoveAirUnitsOverOwnedLand" is governed by the option "Neutral Flyover Allowed". If "Neutral Flyover Allowed" is false then "canMoveAirUnitsOverOwnedLand" is default false, if true then default is true.

Wow! Sounds like that means that is supposed actually to be about flying over (and not just entering with air units).

So is the description of this option in PoS2 wrong?

I need to test this.

I've opened an issue for this problem.

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/13244

Hmmm I definitely found a few lines that jumped lol

For the geometry of the sea zone tiles, the goal would be to find something analogous (where the connections are the same.) Also on a physical table maybe like an extra wide king banquet 36x72 that sorta deal hehe.

I think v3 probably makes the more sense to key it that way than revised though, since that one is so small, but I also wanted to get the white border thing working which is always sorta tricky, mainly on account of wanting something that can be blended as well.

If I pass it through a gray instead of white gives different effects, so like to make it more muted, or the sea zone color doing different blues for player preference. Mainly because for revised it's cool to have the dark ocean light sea zone, but other boards like Classic or v3 might look better with the black line, so just trying to get a way to do both from the same sort of templet.

@trout

yea no need to go to big on the report. I always do 🙂 I'd try and use The Captain's as a guide.

Don't worry too much about pictures. There is a small < > upper right where you can go full screen. Select a certain area you can tune out the History or just bomb the entire screen in.

I usually zoom out to get a bigger picture. The save game has all the info but most won't want to fire it up unless they're real interested.

Anyway, be a couple days probably. Need to fix a couple things and update the Notes again.

Fun game 🙂

@igbi Be careful with making every VC a capital. The AI can overdo it, focusing too much on it.

But Roger, unlike your mods, there's no nuance or sophistication to my mods. They're a brutal reduction.

Ha, ha. You tell me one thing. TheDog tells me another. A rock. A hard place. I'm between them? No, no, I'm over to the side, just a blip on the screen. Only the storage scope will show that I've been here.

It would be good if the AI had direct support for victory cities, at a level intermediate between capitals and normal territories.

Don't know the details in any way, manner, or fashion. But the best of AIs would require no tweaking by us, except to weaken it, which would be in the options.

There are things of number value all over the map. Those numbers, along with the tagging of what has to be captured should be enough information for a super-strong AI to calculate a plan.

A strategy, with battle tactics to carry it out, adapting as needed to what the opponent does.

But maybe you're talking about something else.

@igbi said in Command line AI vs AI play feature:

The ww2v0 is my naming to make it line up with ww2v2 to ww2v6.

When 1, 2 and 3 actually mean first, second and third, there is no zero (traditionally). What comes immediately before 1 is -1.

Anyway, Classic Second Edition is V1. Mind you, "V1" stands for "Classic", not for the edition here: the Classic Third Editions, basic or Iron Blitz, are also V1.

No need to reply here. But when writing a response to the last post, I thought there was a going to be context in another post to engage in long-windedness, but actually there's not.

And then I thought, I'll go ahead and summarize some thoughts anyway about "Some Hypothetical Great A&A Analysis Tool vs What is an AI", but in the light of that every good thing comes to an end, every marginally good thing needs to be brought to an end.

As to confusion amongst naming, there's the manufacturer, a large corporation, and then there's the user. The user is looking for free software written by benevolent developers, and confusion on the user's part results in the wasted effort of answering the same questions over and over.

As to the large corporations, confusion many times makes them money. Bought that $100 version instead of the $45 version, because you were confused?

The Original Topic Title

I put out a request. Maybe in a year or two the developers decide it's something they want.

I only created an account to make the request. The software is good as it is.

@rogercooper said in Standard Variants:

I doubt could doubt I could do upkeep, which involves changing the value of every territory with a property.

Changing territory values are not that hard. Check Mega New Elk's map. Territories are a list of variables. Adjusting their PUs values is quite easy, even though a game properly. Or a fancy each to create a charge. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding what you mean, which is totally possible.
