@Zaroph Possibly. I think also most folks use the in-game chat and the forums and are used to those.

@Cernel said in AA revised - possible upgrades: @Panther said in AA revised - possible upgrades: Transports can offload into the same territory in both combat and noncombat movement if the second unit was loaded in a previous turn. On this regard, I'm actually not sure if a move like this would be allowed: starting the turn with an empty transport, loading 2 infantries into it, sending the transport into a naval battle and offloading 1 infantry into a sea borne assault, during Combat Move, winning the naval battle and the land battle where the unit was offloaded (this last thing may be granted, in case the territory is empty or having capturable units only), then offloading the other 1 infantry, into the same territory, during Non Combat Move. ? I checked this is wrong. However it would be correct if reworded this way: starting the turn with an transport with 1 infantry in it, loading 1 infantry into it, sending the transport into a naval battle and offloading 1 infantry into a sea borne assault, during Combat Move, winning the naval battle and the land battle where the unit was offloaded (this last thing may be granted, in case the territory is empty or having capturable units only), then offloading the other 1 infantry, into the same territory, during Non Combat Move. Basically, in Revised you have an additional incentive, however small in importance, for keeping your cargo on board across the rounds (really bad for playability, actually, as tracking loaded stuff is a serious pain). This is actually a bit bigger if you add also the (Revised OOB only) case of offloading 1 infantry to take 1 territory, then protecting this infantry by offloading an AA Gun, on the next Non Combat Move phase (this is actually something that has a good chance to be a good move, especially if you plan contesting with naval bombardment rather than with air units).

@wc_sumpton Thanks. You are correct, that works fine.

Another point is North Dale, which is just obnoxiously important. Just connects everywhere up north really hard to attack Erebor and Lake Town because u literally need to conquer all around otherwise you will get slaughtered. Agreed I think this is the most obnoxious zone in the map and its existence means evil cant really get anything meaningful done up north. Wow nice, would love to take a look in that if I may that is Ive sent you details in a pm. What are your thoughts on maybe allowing evil to build some sort of encampments that boost the allowed number of troops to be deployed in a certain castle. They could be somewhat cheap(3 bucks to boost 1 is fair?) and whenever the territory is conquered by good they all vanish(0|0|0). I havent played this map in awhile so I cant exactly remember the details, but I think only 3 evil races had issues with this needing more production slots. Orcs for deploying goblin spam in Moria and the South/North Caves, and Haradrim and Khand down south since they cant get any high PU territory to capture and start reinforcing Mordor easier and closer from. Rather then just affecting a Castle that already produces units, I think it could work better as being a factory itself but has a limit of producing 1 unit. I think maybe also giving it a defense of 1 so that you get alittle more incentive to use them, and also allow them to be made same turn the territory is conquered as a benefit of only being able to make 1 unit. Would also help Haradrim naval landings since they can reinforce on the second turn instead of the third.

@Hepps said in Rework Purchase Units...: @simon33 I would probably find it really annoying to have all kinds of units on the map I can't move. Now I'd have to remember all my purchases and where I had placed them. A situation that would be even more complex if you already had a bunch of units in the same territory as where you have a factory and are placing 0 movement units. The other issue is whether you could have placed units with zero movement while all the existing units (very same units) would retain their movement? I'm not even sure that is possible. I understand what you're saying. Ideally, these new units would be invisible until the end of the turn which increases the complexity. Also, they need to not be granted movement at the start of combat movement, if you are playing a map with purchase before combat movement. Regarding the 2 stacks for different movement values, it is possible this has merit although it doesn't work this way now and would increase the clutter on the screen. Not sure if this is a goer.

@beelee well went ahead and renamed them. It didn't fix my issue though. The reason i originally asked, was I had gone through 4 players and they all worked and the 5th one started nuttin up. Edit I guess I just needed to struggle for a couple more hours lol. The 5th Player is unique and doesn't have a "Place" phase. It has "EndTurn" instead. About fried my poor little brain Oh well, hopefully the next 48 hours will be more productive heh heh

@RoiEX looks like you do it using xcode somewhow: "Make sure to submit all versions of your software. While Xcode 10 or later is still required to submit, you don’t need to rebuild or re-sign your software before submission." i think i might already have a developer id and i definitely have xcode but i never really use it.

darn back to square one

you should use notepad++

Well you could try a couple of things. The simplest thing you could try is to just download a recent version of TripleA, install it and see if that enables you to either replace the old installation or allow you to uninstall it. If that doesn't work, you could try to manually download java, install it, press Windows Key + Pause Key, open the advanced Tab, click on "Environment Variables", click on the lower "New" button. The you get a dialog with 2 text fields. Put EXE4J_JAVA_Home in the upper one, and the path to your newly installed java in the other one. Note that it probably needs to end with /bin so it looks roughly like this C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_152\bin

Also pointing out that, in a game like TripleA, where 1 round may be several months, but you can perform 1 single movement with each air unit, that movement is representing a number of going back and forth from the two territories you are landing on (that may be the same if you land where you started), as many as the implied real time would allow, at least in my mind. So, say, if you have 1 infantry and 1 transport, and the transport can transport 1 infantry per turn, that infantry should be the amount that you can transport over the course of the implied real time represented by the round (assuming you have 1 turn per round). Similarly, for example, in a game where "Germany" is a single territory, and you bomb it from "United Kingdom", landing in there too, I see that like those bombers doing that same operation for many times over, in game being simplified by you doing it only once.

@beelee Cool, the reports are important. The 'bug report' handling here needs a refresh.

@LaFayette yea I tried to do everything the same to reproduce it but can't swear it was 100% the same. Over 90 easily fwtiw. I'll try some more while saving before combat.
