🚂 1888A Steam & Steel - Official Thread

In play, the everyone gangs up on the leader on occurs at 13 victory cities, which is way too late in a game with 24 victory cities. This should occur when a single player reaches 9 victory cities.

@rogercooper

Name 1888A Steam and Steel
Description The world in 1888 with a randomized setup

Good Points

Randomized setup for varied games

Interesting diplomatic rules

Features to help the AI

Bad Points

Random setup can be confusing

The AI feels rudderless

Frequent error messages

How could I improve on the Bad Points, especially error messages, as when I test/play it I get so few error messages.

I am not sure why I get many error messages and you don't. Am I using an old version of the mod? There is no mod version number.

To get the AI to be more aggressive, put capitals in important territories. Even if there is no effect on play, the AI will try hard to take them.

To reduce confusion, create a scenario with a fixed, semi-historical setup.

The version number is here, just before you load the map.

Agreed, it already has 26 capitals over the map, maybe it needs more.

Sort of done this, in this xml, here;

@thedog The version number should on page 1, not page 2.

The version on GitHub is 015, not 020.

I would suggest adding a scenario to the mod which doesn't use random allocation of territories, but has historical countries. It would be easier to follow.

I also suggest gang up on the leader occuring at 9 VC (out of 24). If a single power already control's more than half the VC's, it is already over.

"Page 1, not Page 2", I dont follow?

Check again as I have just downloaded it, it is version 1.020
I think the % download is broke, so be aware, this might be the reason for your errors.

Maybe, I will chat to Ebbe, to get his opinion.

I will lower than the current value, I will do some testing

Thanks for the feedback, its much appreciated.

@thedog I have version 020 now.

Currently the latest pre-release onwards causes errors like
2.7.15230: ResourceCollection#removeResource:54
The devs are working their way through solving some of the outstanding issues.

.
I suggest players use this version
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15025
As center on Capital works

Someone has posted an error on GitHub
2.7.15025: TripleAFrame#showHistory:1784 - java.lang.IllegalStateException #14112

game stops at the beginning - playing royals. Two history thinkers ...

Try another version like this one
