Played against AI on revised - @redrum it was pretty fun and some challenge : )

There were a few interesting moves and some adjustments that could have made the AI stronger. Save game attached and below called out some of the interesting moves made.

ai_could_do_better.tsvg

Round 1: Germany uses a tank to capture archangel. There is only a single 50/50 change that it'll be an even trade assuming the tank can kill an infantry while on the defensive. Meanwhile AI then loses the tactical advantage of having a tank near the front line. Attacking the lone tank is a good trade for russia provided the air power and can do so with better than a 50/50 chance of winning.

Round 2: Japan lost Manchuria with a factory in round 1 against improbable odds. Instead of retaking in round 2, it attacks Buryatia

Round 3: Germany does SBR in Karelia instead of attacking BeloRussia with one infantry and bomber.

Round 5: Japan buys an AA gun even though there are no bombers in range

@AdamF any luck logging in now? I just tried and had no problem

@Frostion Good points. That needs to be balanced against precedent, essentially re-training users to no longer use the 'n' key.

@ff03k64 , if I'm not missing anything, I think @Panther may have had it right. The feature is perhaps not the most obvious to use.

First click would be to for example set Russian to "Hard (AI)", ie:

Next, click the "Allies" button next to Russians, that then sets all 'allies' to 'Hard (AI)':

@Cernel There are still some issues, see the new bug reports opened. Though, now 'm' will select previous and 'c' will center on current. Hopefully that should help. I hope also the listing of 'units left to move', having a count of unmoved units will be of use.

I've had a lot of problems personally of forgetting to move the random sub or AA gun, with luck the 'space bar' to skip and then trying to zero out the units left to move will greatly reduce the forgotten units. If things go really right, it'll help make TripleA about who makes the fewest mistakes vs who played the better game.

Code update is submitted: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/4960, once that is merged then the feature will be included with the next prerelease and live on the next release.

@Viking no need to apologize, the software could certainly be better and it should not be giving you this much trouble.

Looking at the error, I'd double check the UI fields. "VikinginNC@gmail.com" is an email and is different from user name. Perhaps there is your email address entered instead of user name.

@Cernel said in Screen centering/cycling around map UI idea:

While looking/thinking about the image, the padding from the edge of the image to the icon is probably the last ingredient for the image to match the existing set.

I uploaded the current button images here: https://github.com/triplea-game/assets/tree/master/images/unit_scroller

If it's of any help, I can get you @Cernel the existing image files in 'xcf' format.

Of note, the vertical bar in the right hand arrow image should be removed too.

@Cernel Thanks, though the image should match the existing buttons, background color and foreground.

I'm thinking, not for right now, but as a follow up, it may be really good to classify the look and feels as "dark" or "light" and switch to a "dark" button image when using a "light" L&F. The white button text can be a bit difficult to make out. For now though the buttons should just match.

@RoiEX , @ssoloff , IIRC you were able to debug this SSL cert failure, was it just a matter of getting latest Java installed? Would you guys mind weighing in?
