@stevenshaw said in Why are so few AAA games made in Unreal Engine these days?: I saw Gears 4 and it looks amazing. But I wonder why are all AAA games almost using their own engines. Is it more expensive to use Unreal as big studio? If not why aren't more big AAA games using Unreal Engine? Maybe because "Axis and Allies"-like games never have been a First Person-3D-Ego Shooter and most likely never will be. Seriously, it looks like you are confusing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAA_(video_game_industry) with https://triplea-game.org/ Take a look at the second link and you will quickly understand, why the Unreal Engine is not used, at least not here.

Thank You Triplea Couldn't find the previous thank you thread so...been a while and just wanted to say I really appreciate what redrum, Roix, Dan Van Atta, ssloff ( haven't seen you in a while hope all is good ). You guys been kicking ass. Thanks to prastle, panther, cernel, hepps and well... there's a whole bunch of you Thanks for making triplea cool. It makes a few people happy and they then make more people happy Peace Out Rock On TripleA

@Frostion Also, I think that it would be a cool idea if you could unlock increasingly better technology with multiple tiers (e.g. better aircraft, ships, nukes etc) so that having a technological advantage would have more effect on the gameplay. It could also be interesting if you added more esoteric special units for different countries, e.g. occult weapons, UFOs for Germany, sea monsters for Japan. It would also be neat if there were some units that you could unlock after a certain point in the game, e.g. intercontinental bombers, more powerful, tanks and artillery, and nuclear missiles.

Is this project still in development? Could you please provide some screenshots or show us how much progress you've made?

No problem

@thephalanx1453 Nope, the AI generally doesn't handle most triggers. I believe it would still try to use the air units for sea battles.

@redrum Now there's a nice short cut.

Moving to Help & Questions, if @RoiEX is not opposed.

@Zjelcop I made the objective cities German capitals, which focused the AI on taking and defending them.

@Gully es ist weniger das Gefühl, nicht mehr gewinnen zu können, als der Ärger, dreimal so einen Mist gebaut zu haben, der mich etwas die Lust verlieren lässt. Aber ich kann auch in ein oder zwei Tagen nochmal drüber nachdenken, wenn der Ärger etwas verraucht ist...

I can see this

Think I finally got it sorted. Misinterpreted pos. Even though i've read it a pile of times, parts of it are still confusing. Anyway, you can delete all this if you want

@Frostion Good to hear. My general advice is that you should make sure that all triggers specify "when" otherwise I think you can sometimes get strange behavior and are relying on some magic trigger defaults on when they fire. Also, I'm guessing you are using SupportAttachments for the items instead of just having them increase the base values as there are multiple items that could increase the AA strength for heroes?
