is 2.5.22294 the latest release?
-
Hi All,
New to forum, been playing AI for a couple of years now & love it on a cold winters night.I've checked to see if I'm running the latest version by looking at the website. When I dwnld from the website I get 2.5.22294 (windows). When I look at pre-releases it seems the game has gone way past that and the 2.5 is very old. Is there a stable release beyond 2.5 out there somewhere? I saw talk about releasing 2.6 about a yr ago but it still seems to be a pre-release. Am I missing something? I also saw something about the AI being faster which would be really cool since I like to play the maps with 17 players with most set to some level of AI.

Welcome to the forums and your 1st post!I would consider these 2.7 pre-release versions stable.
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15025
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15256
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15393Besides 2.7 being faster than 2.5 for AI play, it also allows the use of isAI an xml command that makes it easy for mapmakers to enhance the AI game play.
It will also allow you to play my isAI maps

You can have more than one version of the TripleA engine installed at the same time.

@thedog Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.
From my experience with other software, whenever there is a new release it is followed by a few patches as bugs are found by the larger base of users, then there is a period of quiet until the next new release. I wasn't able to really see that in the release list for 3A so I wasn't sure which version to try vs which one was just before a 'fix'. Also a little disappointed that with all of the pre-releases none seemed to qualify as a latest release.
My favorite game so far has been WOW because it has 17 different countries involved. I generally set 2 to human and only 2 to easy AI and the rest to fast AI because easy AI really slows things down. Hopefully with the upgrade I can push it a bit further.
3A is an amazing game engine with a very well thought-out user interface. I'm kinda old-school as I don't care for 1st person shooter games and played many a 2-3 night weekend playing Axis & Allies board game in the 80's. Making History - Second World War has been fun too, but is much slower & deeper - takes forever to get into the fun part of the game and I can only play one country.
