Trying to Make New Players?

[Lincoln Russell]

So I have TripleA on my Mac, and I've had a lot of fun with some of the maps, however, I want to tinker around with some of the intermediate features of the game. For example, I'd like to change the IPC value of a territory, create an entirely new player, and/or remove certain units from the map. Could someone Explain whether or not these features are realistic for my platform, and if so, how I can make each one happen?

Again, I'm just trying to make some significant changes to certain maps.

thanks

Check out the Pact of Steel XML. It has details on how to adjust maps.

Changing the IPC value is super easy.
Adding a new player is harder, you need art for the units and flags.

@CrazyG How would I change the IPC value of certain territories?

@Lincoln-Russell
Open the XML files, find the territory attachments, change the value there. It should be pretty straightforward.

@Lincoln-Russell probably depends on the map but,
using the global 40 game as an example :

you could change the "PUs" of "Infantry" from "3" to "2".

So fire up an editor, if on windows probably notepad, and put the xml in it and you're ready to rock.

The POS2 link above is what you need to study. It takes a while, or did for me, but you'll figure it out. : )

Get stuck just ask. Plenty of people here will help

@beelee and @Lincoln-Russell If you are working on Windows and editing an XML I might suggest NotePad++ . It is a much better tool.
