How do I find a map that would play today's World War 3?

[Nick1907]

@beelee Thank you. Unfortunately, I don't have the latest version of TripleA. How exactly can I update the software?

@nick1907

The home page has it. https://triplea-game.org/

What OS are you using ? Mac has been somewhat problematic for as long as I can remember but it does work

Edit
this all of the versions https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/

Thank you, I use Windows.
So I can only update the version if I completely reinstall the game?

@nick1907

the install should be just follow the prompts. Most are on windows, so i think its pretty user friendly for it.

It will ask if you want to put it in your current folder. You can say no and rename the folder. I just use the number.

So you can have multiple versions at same time

Edit
The Dog has a detailed post about it. Idk where it is but shouldn't be too hard to find

When I download and install the tripleA from the site: https://triplea-game.org/download/ I unfortunately still only have the engine version: 2.5.2294

What am I doing wrong?

@nick1907

oh yea so you wanna go to prerelease or use that above link I sent.

I think theres still a 32 and 64 for windows so make sure you get right one

[Nick1907]

@beelee Thank you.

1. And where exactly do I have to click here to download this version?

2. in which folder exactly do I have to copy this version?

[beelee]

@nick1907

heh heh sorry brother I know das is gut and that's about it

I will screen it out for you. I'm on linux though but should similar process

[Nick1907]

@beelee that would be great, if you would do that, I would be very grateful

[beelee]

@nick1907

On it right now

[beelee]

@beelee I will do in steps as i get the shots mixed up lol

Download prerelease

It's now in your downloads. Yes I know you know this but we are gonna be deliberate lol

[beelee]

notice there are two triplea folders. At least for me

The big T is where the release will go. The little one is where your saved games and maps are

[beelee]

then I open it and hit propertiess

then Permissions

This shouldn't be necessary for you on windows. Just follow the prompts but this is how I do it

Then Execute

[beelee]

Then I put it in a terminal

and I get this

now windows should be the same here I would think. We want to install into a different directory so we need to change the default to no

[beelee]

i put 14780. Careful not to nuke the name or you gatta type it all in again

[beelee]

then just power through the prompts and you get here

and you're ready to roll.

Now we both got the latest prerelease

[beelee]

If you still have trouble you can ask Panther for help. He's on windows and super triplea smart but I think it should be similar process.

I don't think you need todo the terminal stuff. Just follow the prompts but when you get the Wehrmacht Infantry dude, it should be the same

[Nick1907]

@beelee @Panther Unfortunately it doesn't work for me under windows. but thanks anyway.
@pather can you please help me how I can update TriplA to the latest version in Windows 11 and how I can add new cards manually?

Welcome to the site @nick1907

Actually WW III is being fought right now. It just hasn't gone nuclear yet lol Just kidding kinda

Here's a link to the map page on git. You might find it easier to scroll through them https://github.com/triplea-maps

If you are talking about Cold War 2, there is a game about it from a few years ago, https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Europe_Divided
