@panther

well it's the one I use for the dice rolls. That's why I call it trash 🙂

Didn't know certain email providers were specificaly defined as trash 🙂

Strange the batch file has stopped working after updating TripleA, so just posted another variant for download in the 1st post.

Latest version 1.5 ready for download

In TripleA 2.6 (currently there is no UPDATE map tab/version control, so ...)
Click Download Maps Button
Click Installed tab
Find & Click The Shogun
Click Remove Button
Click Yes button to remove
Click Ok button (Successfully removed)
Click Close (To force the map list to refresh)
Click Download Maps Button
Find & Click The Shogun
Click Install button (be patient dont double click it)
Enjoy!

.
MAJOR CHANGES
Added Ebbe's most excellent Shogun Advanced Samurai/Japanese sounds.

thanks for the help. 🙂

@thedog Found it - there was a "link project" option. Should look good now

It looks like Github has changed projects a good bit from a couple years ago. Projects in github used to be repository level items (repositories are owned by organizations). Now projects look to be true organization level items with "links" to possibly zero or many repositories. The links create the previous behavior and adds some additional flexibility.

@guderian1

Hi, still looking for a player?

Sweet ! Thanks for the replies. I think I'll give the XPS a try. I had a dell before this lenovo and it worked great for about 15 years.

Even though I'll rarely use it as a laptop, it'll still be nice to have that versatility.

Thanks again 🙂

In case you have not seen this, you can have both 2.5 & 2.6 installed at the same time.

@thedog Per my post, I find the indicator of how many steps a unit has moved to be very ugly, which is visible in the method you suggested. Is it possible to disable that in any way?

@rogercooper done. It's now possible to play Nazi Germany and pretend it's not Nazi Germany 😉

@azimuth
transport cost is definitely not the answer i am looking for; which doesn't mean that it can't provide a solution... but i suspect a rather ugly one. 😜

the problem is there are rather a lot of units:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NnFVfK3eOrjdNwnmiA4q6ytV6VHLN8mNbgTetywtHm4/edit?usp=sharing

am i right in assuming that transport costs must be integers?
maybe i'll see what happens if i make them 0.9... otherwise i guess i could just multiply all the other values by 10 and make aviatrix/hero 9... hmm... that would allow one extra hero to be transported on the largest transport but that's prob fine - such an edge case it'll most likely never happen.
i really wish my OCD wasn't triggered in such silly ways... 😉

edit:
so i went with 100x for everything and 99 for the aviatrix and hero. seems to work. 🙂
i still wonder why only integers.
and why we can't just have toggles for everything.

thanks, y'all.

bah. it does only apply to noncombat unloading. well that sucks. oh well.
thanks for the reply.

@panther @LaFayette Thank you for handling this.

This is exactly what I thought: cannot be a bug, otherwise people would have noticed it much earlier (How do League Players cope with this behaviour?), that's why I thought I needed rules clarifications.

I promise I'll create a GitHub account, but as I wrote somewhere else already, I need to take some time to first understand what it is about... Looks very intimidating

@Cernel My other question was due to the fact that there are other circumstances where unescorted transport are auto-destroyed without the need to hit them. But I agree that the rules are quite clear on that there is no reasons to treat them differently than a cruiser.

Btw, I downloaded the new update and saw that my problem with Air battles is now solved. It is very nice to see that there are people working on improving the game, thanks a lot for that.

I don't remember why the 800x500 is ideal. I want to say it was because that is a good fit on the download maps window. To some extent, IIRC, the images there are not scaled on the download maps window - so there is no fixed requirement of a specific size.

@beelee

Hi beelee, after your message I went looking for a game and found that I didn't have a map loaded. I loaded the 1941 map and the option came up to play local.

Thanks!

idk if this is necroing but I hope this is fine.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJzo0lWyq5c I know it sounds insane but yes this hits hard IMO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TdOEu5DOVQ Idk why but I really like this war song in particular.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSdtjb2xOow This is one is a more traditional war song but still really great to hear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tKMlRXgr9M Another banger IMO from a pretty great sound track for an overhated game imo

Ok, thank you.

@Panther could you please move this post to the Feature Requests & Ideas?

Here is my request:

Add to the current syntax of the tooltips.properties

tooltip.unit.fortress=Requires 3 hits to destroy

The option to define different tooltips for the same unit in different scenarios:

1941_Start_Date.tooltip.unit.fortress=Requires 3 hits to destroy 1942_Start_Date.tooltip.unit.fortress=Requires 3 hits to destroy<br/>Can be upgraded in MegaFortress

For my second request, I realized that it has already been suggested several times, for example here: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/421/add-unithelp-attribute

@jeremy-keller OK yes I downloaded the pre-release and it works now. Thank you.

@cernel Thank you, this is very smart 😉

I tried and it is working by setting isStrategicBomber=true and bombingBonus=-6 to the fighter's attachement (bombingMaxDieSides=0 dosen't work, no clue why).

But then there are some weaknesses: the "bomb/escort" prompts when the fighter is alone (logic), it is still rolling a die (which means that if you send a bomber with 3 fighters, you roll 4 dies with only one that matters - a bit misleading).

So I think that now that I understood that excorts never have been thought to be used as protection against Air defense... I will stick to this principle as well.

@rogercooper said in Units in Combat - can we limit what a nonAA unit can target in combat?:

canNotTarget ...

i guess i was hoping i could just list the two units i want it to be able to target rather than list every other unit - combination of laziness and desire for less clutter and desire to have less things to update when i invariably end up adding more units...
