Alliances Broken?

[prastle]

@hepps @General_Zod something changed somewhere since this issue was never there in past as you both well know.

[General_Zod]

Well , someone with the authority to update the depot maps should look into it. And at the very least replace the 270 bc maps with a repaired xml's.

       <alliance player="Carthage" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>
       <alliance player="Numidia" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>
       <alliance player="Macedonia" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>
       <alliance player="Syria" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>

       <alliance player="RomanRepublic" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
       <alliance player="Egypt" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
       <alliance player="Parthia" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
       <alliance player="GreekCityStates" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
       

The section in question needs to look like this, with exception of Syria is Selucid, in some versions. Whoever does the changes needs to just use whatever names they already chose.

Hopefully there is not more errors.

@general_zod if you want to repair all three versions I will see about getting them uploaded. My curiosity is about how they got damaged?

I took a look into the map repositories @Github.

This is how it looks in the file 270BC.xml:

    <!--  RomanAlliance -->
    <alliance player="RomanRepublic" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
    <alliance player="GreekCityStates" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
    <alliance player="Parthia" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
    <alliance player="Egypt" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
    <!-- AntiRomanAlliance -->
    <alliance player="Carthage" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>
    <alliance player="Seleucid" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>
    <alliance player="Macedonia" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>
    <alliance player="Numidia" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>

This is how it looks in the file 270BC_40%.xml:

                <!--  RomanAlliance -->
                <alliance player="RomanRepublic" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
                <alliance player="GreekCityStates" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
                <alliance player="Parthia" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
                <alliance player="Egypt" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>

                <!-- AntiRomanAlliance -->
                <alliance player="Carthage" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>
                <alliance player="Syria" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>
                <alliance player="Macedonia" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>
                <alliance player="Numidia" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>

And there is a file 270BC_Cernel.xml having it like this;

                <!--  RomanAlliance -->
                <alliance player="RomanRepublic" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
                <alliance player="GreekCityStates" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
                <alliance player="Parthia" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>
                <alliance player="Egypt" alliance="RomanAlliance"/>

                <!-- AntiRomanAlliance -->
                <alliance player="Carthage" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>
                <alliance player="Syria" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>
                <alliance player="Macedonia" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>
                <alliance player="Numidia" alliance="AntiRomanAlliance"/>

Are there other versions I probably missed?

[prastle]

@panther point is no one has touched these repos in months why are all three suddenly broken?

[Panther]

@prastle Maybe I don't understand what actually is broken. The xml-files in the games seem to have the alliances as @General_Zod said they have to be... So that part never has changed.

[Panther]

270BC even never has been touched for at least two years.

[prastle]

@panther load 270 40% or
270
and try to attack
all are now friendly
i have played this map for years
Thus my question is how has it suddenly become broken?

[prastle]

@panther correct they haven't been touched so what changed to break them

[Panther]

@prastle Got you now. Only the neutrals are attacked correctly. Interesting.

[prastle]

@panther i just 100 % confirmed iit iis the engine
works fine in 721
opps
7621
broken in 8304

[Panther]

Yes. So what makes these maps different from all the others where this issue does not occur and what engine change triggered this at least on these maps?

[prastle]

@panther nidea

[prastle]

@panther what engine changes touched politics lately?

[Panther]

@prastle I am checking the pull requests.

[prastle]

@panther ty @redrum you probably need to read this thread as well please bro.

[prastle]

@ssoloff and @RoiEX could you guys please glance at this thread as well

[Panther]

@prastle Actually I can't remember any. But maybe it is a side effect of something I would not associate it with. On the other hand there is not much politics inside the 270 map. I mean the alliances are fix right from the beginning just as in other games where we don't see this issue... very strange...

[prastle]

@panther i guess we have to test a few at a time to narrow down where it broke and with what release

[Panther]

@prastle Indeed. I am still browsing the PRs to get an idea where to start.
