Age of Tribes World map new official thread

@ted-self
1888A Steam & Steel tech tree is modelled on Age of Tribes, but only spans about 100 years.

@thedog @thedog Well I downloaded it but it wont load. It says in part- game engine not compatible with jar file- current engine 2.5.22294 not compatible with ver, 2.7.14848 required by map.

TheDog

@ted-self
To play any any of the modern maps with isAI in the xml/code you will need a stable version later than 2.5.22294

If you want to, go here
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15230
Its the version Im currently using.

If you are confident you can have multiple versions of TripleA engine here

@ted-self I have generally found that pure free-for-alls don't work very well as games. There needs to be at least a way of declaring war and making peace.

@ted-self

you may want to check out "Another World" for a game that is a "Civilization" type game. It has a few errors that pop up from time to time.

You might enjoy it though

@thedog Well I have the 1888 map loaded and I must say there is a stiff learning curve early on, but it is intriguing.

TheDog

@ted-self
Hopefully 1888A has enough documentation to guide you. It does have a lot built in.

Ted Self

@thedog Well I was playing as autocrats and I got attacked in nusantara from sino?

TheDog

@ted-self
I think this happened, the infantry moved by rail as below

Industry - have Invisible rail links to move land units up to 2 territories
Industry-Hvy - have Invisible rail links to move land units up to 3 territories

So check the documentation in the help or pdf or unit tool tips

Ted Self

@thedog Well dang, I'm as surprised as a yankee at first bull run!

Ted Self

@ted-self Hi, well I'm going to like it better if I can get it to start with these instead of total random, is there a quick way to do it?

TheDog

@ted-self
Yes,
comment out the 8 territories in RandomHighPU line 460 with

Uncomment the 8 lines at 8818 so Germania belongs to the Autocrats

Change the 8 random flags from 5 to 4 at line 8836, as 8 have been assigned above

@ted-self I know you can code but I had to test it, so xml attached, replace your current one with this.

1888a_steam_and_steel.xml

It does not crash, please test, hopefully it works.

TheDog

@Ted-Self
Doh, forgot to add 8 Flags to the 'Fixed' territories, see line 8845+

fixed flag xml
1888a_steam_and_steel.xml

@thedog I have it loaded, I like it! It should be the official alternate version. Thanks!
