European War

Schulz

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

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.

Schulz

Hello.

Thanks for your respond. My mod is not in the repo yet. I wish the mod was downloadable from the repo but I found that the process of making my mod downloadable is too complicated. Could you start the process on behalf of me if possible.

This is the map

This a load game which proves its decent balance.

@Schulz Do you try to upload using this guide: ?
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FfF7N0srp9QG0_if5D-c1d1Aa1QTttdhxgm1GBh3pI4

If you follow that guide and get to a point where it gets to difficult to understand, you could just ask here in the forum. Maybe there are some explanations that could be rewritten so that they become easier to understand. I will gladly rewrite some sections if needed.
