@Hepps What I believe to have made clear is that I meant that air battles are always going to be followed by the regular (land) battle. That is you cannot do air battles only, without the following standard battle. So, if those two fighters are attacking alone a territory with a zeppelin and a bunch of land units, that is not going to end well for them.

@CrazyG You can turn that off in your personal settings.

Will there be an update soon?

@CrazyG But you may be able to use a trigger that controls ownership based on the Territory name... EG. Trigger a change on ownership of "OuterMongolia".

@CrazyG You could make a trigger for the ship that has the ability to make mines then have those ships automatically produce 1 invisible unit at the end of the NCM turn phase. Then you could make the purchasable mine unit consume the invisible unit. Then simply have all the (unused) invisible units removed from the map at the end of the current players turn. I think you could even deal with the invisible unit generation be handled by the unit attachment of "canProduceXUnits" instead of a trigger. But this is all just a suggestion. I have not tested any of this. So I am not sure what complications might arise.

@CrazyG Well mostly the good habits are the opposite of the bad ones But I think the key tends to be that there are a lot of options so you get a good variety of moves/buys turn 1 and the map plays differently every game. You want some randomness as well but not huge 50/50 battles that end up deciding the game the first round. Generally having some interconnected threaters of war helps make it so each player has different options on what to focus on. Many maps don't actually do this very well and most of the moves are no brainers. NWO/WaW/TRS are examples of really bad initial unit/factory placements as the first 3-4 turns play out almost the same way every time to the point I've seen players take a save at say the start of turn 3 and just play from that again and again. Probably TWW and Civil War have maybe the most interesting initial setup options as they tend to play out pretty differently every play through and almost every player has a different preferred opening. Once you get to UK1 in TWW, things can have played out pretty differently and the UK has tons of options on what to focus on (pressure France vs pressure Scandinavia vs support Egypt/Med vs support Southeast Asia) as well as what to build.

@alkexr Thank for clarifying

Yeah I had some difficulties recently with auto placement picker as well. It required a zip version of the map files in the end. This and other zipping requirements are really cumbersome for mapmakers. Anyways I'm glad to see the other zip/load deal resolved.

@General_Zod Yeah, completely different. Check out https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/2554 should solve your issue.

Little one is a galley, big one is a man of war. Both can fight, I really dislike the instantly killed dedicated transports of some games.
