So, substantially, this feature does nothing useful at all, if you are playing real time (hosting or in bots), while it does send verified dice to everyone involved, if you are PBEM or PBF, but there is nothing letting you know, or even hinting, that is the case, until you try it out? I wasn't really thinking about adding the dice rolls in history. More like wondering, when you roll a dice, if all users inside your host would see the results like you do. I'm understanding they don't. So, practically, if you want to roll dice to see who starts bidding, you can do that, if you are PBEM or PBF, while you can never do that, if you are playing live?

@LaFayette Yeah, that's why DNAI needs to be figured out and documented (and fixed to work with no capitals without crashing, possibly), as it is now going one way in the moment you can use it for attacking with its own phases and another way in the moment it substantially skips the collect phase, plus the strange behaviour of a first purchase then nevermore, that it is a complete surprise to everyone. Substantially, Veqryn made this AI probably based on something he was planning, but that never happened and, as far as I know, nothing was documented about all this more or less artificial and likely sigle-game tailored construct, that has been since available to all users and map makers. I would personally prefer it being just 100% like assigning the player to somebody that just keeps skipping everything it can skip and clicks randomly on anything it must do (but this would require fixing the placement phase itself as being a must do, preferably with a property to allow having the current free-not-to-place behaviour for custom maps).

@Cernel the HTML needs to be fixed within the constraints of the HTML rendering. There is no code fix for us to apply here. We're not modifying the HTML, we're not rendering it ourselves. There is no way we're going to change anything (short of rebuilding an HTML renderer, IE; a web-browser) that makes this exact HTML render how you want.

@Hepps wow that almost sounded psycho lol. Anyways dude what thread are you trying to troll me on please because if you read the forum it was a belee troll post in the "Guide lines and feature requests" thread ... where only a few people can post because he's a modded troll (duh why??) and so Cernel then pwnt belee and moved my belee pwning post to "Taking your suggestions for a new UI" thread where we can now ez mock the troll so then we discovered there that we can't edit posts in that thread so thats where the actual topic of "being allowed to edit posts in a thread" was raised and so then Rolex shows up and called the "Guide lines and feature requests" thread as an Announcement thread and a special thread where he's now raising the issue of what things should be allowed in threads like non admin/mod posting allowed or being able to edit posts etc. with all of this resulting in people reading this forum's thread are like lolool look at these anal nerd trolls that think we want to be reading this dolt anal spam but anyways I totally gave some nice answer to Rolex about how he explained not allowing editting posts nicely and even gave him a Like and then he gets defensive roofl making people kind of figure that these constant mad nerds haveto abuse commands and threads and not allow editting only because they keep getting pwnt so ez on their other troll aliases and its really sad but funny to me Hepps its called retention and ya I make aliaser trolls mad ez just read the thread wow care more hehe SO EZ nub aliaser trolls. I tell yous they call me a meme on Star Wars my handle is YKO<!>AW5UM my clan is young knights of old -.-

@Cernel any chance you'd be willing to pick back up your efforts here to make edits to the rule book? I'd rather have the effort you put in be captured and put to good use rather than languishing here and ultimately not being useful to anyone.

@Cernel If so, I believe this would be the only case in all Axis&Allies history in which I'm forbidden from doing nothing during a movement phase.

@LaFayette said in New method for board scrolling: @Cernel you're suggesting that the main map scrolls to the location of the right click? Or are you suggesting that when holding right click the mouse stays stationary and the map moves under it? Maybe these minimap analogies are confusing more than clarifying. Anyways, I was actually suggesting that the cursor "stays stationary and the map moves under it". Thinking again about it, you could also have the initial behaviour (for the initial right click only) of centring the map on the board pixel where the cursor is, while relocating the cursor itself at the centre too, in this case. However, this would raise the issue of what to do if you would have not enough board remaining to actually centre it (say, what should happen if I right click on the 0,0 coordinate of a not wrapping map like 270BC), which would be relevant for any maps not having both X and Y wrapping (I think only "Hexglobe", "Feudal Japan Warlords" and "Conquest of the World" do). On this regard, the centre should be the centre of the view, not the centre of the screen (usually the centre of the view is more to the left, if you have no history bar or the history bar is narrower than the main bar).

I think a good example is House of Habsburg. In that one you have "castle" and "cannon", that are both "infrastructures". Once only castles or cannons remain, the enemy captures the castles and the cannons are destroyed (the automatic tooltip for the cannons say "Can be Captured", that I'm sure is going to mislead everyone not knowing the game) (it would be more realistic if cannons change to something you can upgrade back to a cannon). This makes actually sense, in that, of course, the castles don't fight on their own (and you can strip them of virtually all men, to send them somewhere), while an army of only artillery would have such a scarce standing power that making it crumble outright seems sensible (not sure on the fact that, this way, either you lose all your artillery or none of it). Clearly, you cannot say that a "cannon" is an "infrastructure", and saying the same thing for a "castle" is at least questionable, but I'm really not finding a term to define such "stuff", that has the charateristics of having no staying power of its own, while still being able to take part in battles, with other units (like the aaGun), or being completely useless for combat (like the factory). Keeping in mind that they can be living being too (like the "General" of Napoleonic Empires or the "Horse" of Feudal Japan), I really cannot find a term for them.

@Cernel I would tend to agree but the big problem is existing maps. If there weren't any maps using this then I would consider changing it but dealing with updating all of them is more work than I think changing this is worth.

Yep. All good.

@redrum One way or another, if this can be confirmed, I would push an update to officialise it in pos2, unless a developer wants to do it himself. Logical or not, at least let it be known. If then, anything gets reworked, pos2 would be updated anyways.

Create a related bug-report in tracker: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/5399 (ideal if we can have bugs land there directly so we do not have the conversations split). None-the-less, I remain quite concerned by this bug; it could be very difficult to find, without a known way to reproduce it, we're going to struggle to know if we've found it, let alone have fixed it. The possible surface area for a fix is several thousand lines of code, the main file that is responsible for this MustFightBattle.java is itself 5k lines. Given the high impact and uncertainties, this is an incredibly bad bug to be confronted with. DanVanAtta created this issue in triplea-game/triplea closed Retreat Prompt Appears too Early / Swing UI Appears Deadlocked #5399

@Cernel Yes I believe the sorting of units based on either attack or defense of the units whether they are the attacker/defender.

@Cernel It's from the perspective of the code, all maps are downloaded one way or another. That maps can be developed locally is perhaps a good nuance to point out. Some of the file collections can be empty, I suppose only the XML collection must be non-empty. 'Map' vs 'game' is one of the more painful examples of poor domain terminology as the two are virtually flipped compared to common usage.

@LaFayette All fixed (2.0.15631) (except maybe the report thing, that I don't know).

So, since I want it both production based and to be achieved any time, rather than at end round only, and much prefer it showing clearly in the customizable settings, I'll use this hack of having multiple endrounds, as it doesn't appear causing any troubles (and the game is not meant to ever have any triggers). But I'm open to refactor it if it would be possible to achieve the same result with victory triggers/conditions, eventually. I guess since we assume multiple endrounds is not intentionally supported, no reasons to document it. Still, I have to say that personally doesn't like the fact that this endround step manages both hardcoded victories and sets uses for triggers, as they seem unrelated matters, and, in my mind, it should have rather been called "victory" step, doing only that (traditionally as the last step in the sequence).

non - Triple A I played a cruel rpg game called Eternal Lands and I started and I wanted my character to not kill animals so it only killed monsters at low levels (never saw anyone else do that) and I stayed awake 70 hours to finally level and kill my first goblin.... but for Triple A yous got me cuz I don't think I ever had a match longer than 15 hours but cool this game rocks for cool matches
