Trying to put age of tribes engine on alexander 350 world map
-
@ted-self I uploaded the game, be sure to read the primeval pop up screen. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GliTK6cSfnUuq1tmGvtBv5XiFRayIP0z/view?usp=sharing

@ted-self OK I just hit the done button at googledrive so it should be ready to go.

@ted-self 3 times I played through turn 35 and 3 times this crash happened when the first convoy tried to manifest in the Bay of Bengal. It looks like a simple error but I can't find it. The entire game is at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GliTK6cSfnUuq1tmGvtBv5XiFRayIP0z/view?usp=sharing
And here is the xml, someone please have a look.

@ted-self Here is the error report

@wc_sumpton Wow, I just did not get it but I think I have it now, thanks.
-
@ted-self OK thanks to @wc_sumpton I think the game will work beyond turn 36 if you use the AgeWorld.xml found here
https://github.com/tedrockets/triplea More minor changes coming soon. -
@ted-self There are more ideas I want to implement. Changing some of the values for some territories. Changing the names of some of the territories. Adding lots more barbarians. Changing the sounds. Changing background colors. Quick questions: Why are cavemen attacking at 2? It says they attack at one. Why can't I change the PU value of Central Russia? How do I make nuclear weapons more destructive? Also I said to go to edit and change all 8 tribes to default war, but you can try different alliances. On my latest playtest I am taking India, Middle East and Europe, but they are all still at war with each other and everybody else. I have Slavic and China set to cold war so they don't attack each other. This way I figure Middle East will battle Africa, Europe will battle Slavic and India will battle China. Inca and Aztec will battle each other. Of course I want to make it to the futuristic age so as to have the full game experience, so soon I will change who I am playing and/or change the alliances. AI doesn't seem to do well if you change the alliances when units of different tribes are in the same territories. Also the AI doesn't seem to do well with Middle East or India. Since loss of capitals doesn't really screw you much a tribe can just migrate to somewhere else (such as Australia or other islands) and make a new start. Here is some confusion, do barbarians actually control territories other than the ones they are currently occupying? How about Nature? Is anyone else out there playtesting this thing?

@ted-self I made a couple of maps 8 or 10 years ago using the start from scratch editor. Mewww was a WW3 scenario centered in the Middle East. New Yawk was a gang war thing centered in New York city. They were both pretty ugly. When I started trying to put age of tribes units and techs on the alexander350 map I was really at novice xml editor level. The learning curve has been really steep, both learning how to use the editor and what to do with it. Much thanks to the helpful folks who helped me along and were patient with me.

As the unofficial collector of all TripleA maps, I award MEWWW the prize of the ugliest map.
You can't change the PU value of territories directly. You can get much the same effect by placing PU-producing infrastructure with events.

@rogercooper Well I just had to try to add one unit from a previous game I made. So when I try to launch I get the error: could not find resource or unit Develope-Femdom. When I run DTD it takes me to the </game> line at the end and says'Develope-Femdom' is referenced but was never declared. The new xml file is up at https://github.com/tedrockets/triplea
-
For a unit to be recognized, an entry needs to appear in the '<unitList>'.
<unitList> <unit name="Plague"/> <unit name="Black-Death"/> <unit name="Caves"/> <unit name="Saber-Tooth"/> <unit name="Cave-Bear"/> ... ... ... <unit name="Develope-Femdom"/> ... ... ... </unitList>Also, a '<unitAttachment>.
<attachment name="unitAttachment" attachTo="Develope-Femdom" javaClass="UnitAttachment" type="unitType"> <option name="attack" value="1"/> <option name="defense" value="1"/> <option name="movement" value="1"/> <option name="requiresUnits" value="Camp"/> ... ... ... <option name="maxBuiltPerPlayer" value="1"/> </attachment>Cheers...

@wc_sumpton Yes, I have her in both places
I also have her in tooltips properties, units folders and images folder.

@ted-self The game is playable from turn 7 if you take the autosave round odd. tsvg file from the AgeWorld folder and put it in the triplea savedgames/autosave folder and launch from there. You can't start from scratch because of the above error about can't find Femdom.
Somebody please help with that.
The zip file is at

@ted-self You have reference somewhere to "Develope-Femdom". The extra letter is causing the error.
-
Remove the "e" from "Develope-Femdom"
<productionRule name="buyDevelop-Femdom"> <cost resource="Tech" quantity="600"/> <!-- Remove the "e" from Develope --> <result resourceOrUnit="Develop-Femdom" quantity="1"/> </productionRule>Cheers...

@wc_sumpton Darn it, I am so bad with words spelled differently in American English from the British English. Now the latest problem, I'm playtesting again and my Axeman in Iran refused to get on the Boat in the Arabian Sea, when I moved the boat to the red sea and him to Saudi Arabia etc he got on!
-
@ted-self I think it is working now, I have re-upped the zip file at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gh1sFPvnmK8EY6KOvaQugFQ4uZik7F_e/view?usp=sharing
Time for more playtesting to see if the AI thinks anything crazy like India owns the Arabian Sea even with no ship there! -
@ted-self There is still the fact that for some reason the cavemen attack at 2. That is one reason I put barbarian Axemen all over the place. Also The Middle East is weak because they are surrounded by India, Europe, Africa and the Slavic. The first thing I do when I start the game is to set everyone at default war with everyone else. Then I take Middle East and one of the tribes around the Middle East, I put Aztec and India on hard AI and the rest to fast AI. For one thing this helps to keep the Aztec and Inca from bottlenecking around Panama. I want to keep the game going to the futuristic age and at some point I might need to switch which tribes I am playing. If you encounter a glitch please fix it and let me know.

@ted-self Well, I guess I never can leave well enough alone, I decided to change the name of one more territory. Then the game would not load, here is the udderly bizarre error report https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/11789
