European War

The trenches are appropriately priced. On NML, they cost the same as infantry and honestly have very similar levels of effectiveness. They're only a bit OP in the early game because you can play 3 per territory per turn instead of one.

Well I have completed 6 rounds and it is pretty playable and Allies were slighly ahead but they have got some good dices.. Of course I have changed somethings and I would like to upload this load game which contains the first phases of the game.

On the paper allies have +170 Pus advantage but Axis will take more land from France, Romania,Russia and Italy. Also Axis still dominates seas and oceans

Sebia is doomed to fall to Austria in round 3.

Rushing Paris strategy definitely does not work. Also Allies unable to stop early German advantages in the front.

Germany 14 should be 15 or 20 I think and Russia should not start with Warsaw factory.

I am thinking to increase Axis power but I am not sure. But I believe that neither Axis nor Allies have huge advantage in the game.

AI does not use trains in the map. Is there any way to fix it?

Frostion

@Schulz The AI cannot use land transport and air transport yet Maybe @redrum can give an ETA?

Schulz

@frostion

It is so sad. Also I have noticed that, the AI UK never try to retake her convoy zones. Also the UK buys trains but she never use them.

What is ETA?

Frostion

@Schulz I think that the hard/fast AI can actually see and go for convoy zones, at least I see this happening in Iron War. I am not sure how "motivated" the AI is in regards to this.

ETA = Estimated Time for Arrival

redrum

@frostion @Schulz For teaching the AI to use land and air transports, it all depends how much you bribe me

The AI does understand convoy zones as long as they are given a PU value and properly tries to capture them in maps like Iron War and Napoleonic Empires. If they have only a value of other resources or you are doing some sort of national objective with them then the AI won't understand that.

Schulz

Yes Redrum I have noticed that AI does understand convoy zones in European War map.

I would like to add the map as "Zombieland" thus players who is unable hosting will be able to play the map in lobby.

@schulz Hopefully @redrum can walk you through adding it to the GitHub repo so it can just be added to all the bot's maps as well as becoming downloadable through the engine for all. You will need to name it something tho if taking that route.

redrum

@schulz If you'd like to add it to in-game downloads and the bots then you'll need to go through this process to add it to github: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/484/how-to-add-maps-to-triplea-downloads

Schulz

Well I wish but there is a problem. It is not my map and as far as I know Crazy German is going to make ww1 mod by using the same map. If I wanted to add the mod into the map repository, It would be very disrespect. If he allows it sure I will be able to start the process.

redrum

@schulz Well that is something you'd need to discuss with him. There are plenty of map repos that use the same base map image but generally its best to ask the original creator of the image especially for relatively new map images.

Schulz

Could you upload "European War" to the map repository if CrazyGerman allows it? I really want it if possible. I am sure that it is not broken map. I have been testing the map for days balance is pretty decent. I can prove it also.

Round 5 and both Axis and Allies have almost equal Pus, Productions and TUVs.

redrum

@schulz Once you discuss it with CrazyGerman, you just need to follow these instructions to get the map added to TripleA downloads: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FfF7N0srp9QG0_if5D-c1d1Aa1QTttdhxgm1GBh3pI4

Schulz

BTW I have noticed that really impossible to play this map in ll. Low luck gives no opportunity to France and the UK in the Western front but constantly retreating. It is playabe only in dice. I don't know how can I solve the problem.

Schulz

He has not been online for weeks. I don't know how do I communicate with him.

redrum

@schulz If you haven't heard from him after a few weeks, then its fine to move forward with creating a map repo.

Schulz

I have already a github account but I find it these instructions are very complicated for me. Could you or Frostion start the process on behalf of me?

Schulz

BTW Why I am unable to add flags to the capitals?

CrazyG

I'm okay with this going to the repository. Please do document that the map image was created by me though (also Hepps). Is it on the repo yet? I'd like to look at this map, I am active again and developing my creation some more.
