@Cernel
when values: this is a value of when the trigger should fire. it is optional, and if left out the trigger will fire at its default time. "before/after:name-of-step" (example: value="after:chineseEndTurn"). 'when' can be set multiple times if you want a trigger to fire in multiple spots.
FYI: if your triggers are displaying odd behavior, MAKE SURE WHEN IS SET. complex triggers can experience unexpected behavior if 'when' is not set.

I was able to not use a "condition" or "when", with deterministic triggers.

Adding the "when" option didn't help. "uses" is inappropriate as I want the event to keep firing each turn.

I checked that Grayhawk Wars is working using triggers like:

		<attachment name="triggerAttachmentIuz_Mercenaries_Grandwood_Forest" attachTo="Iuz" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player">
				<option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentIuz_Mercenaries_Grandwood_Forest"/>
				<option name="when" value="after:IuzNonCombatMove"/>
				<option name="chance" value="3:6"/>
				<option name="chanceIncrementOnFailure" value="1"/>
				<option name="chanceDecrementOnSuccess" value="1"/>
				<option name="placement" value="Grandwood Forest:bugbear:sellsword" count="1"/>
				<option name="notification" value="HeroActionMercenaries"/>
		</attachment>

Maybe I need to put a condition in, even though the trigger is unconditional.

Here are some more detailed manpower statistics from Ellis. Note that Japan does not fare badly in terms of total numbers:

When I add chance to a trigger, not only does it not work, but the other triggers stop working. See below. I am doing something wrong?

Today I randomly came across this map I'd made last summer as an experiment to test an idea related to unit interactions. It wasn't made for release and isn't very good (or at all), but hey, maybe someone will like it. @RogerCooper you may want to add this to your scenario list.

Got the file.

@Cernel A common request has been the ability to have countries join alliances. I wonder if the chaining property works that way (except for the display screen).

@Hepps said in Understanding alliancesCanChainTogether:

@RogerCooper I'm not 100% sure... all I remember when Veq created it is that it means any nation of any alliance always shares the same "attitude" as the alliance. So you cannot have nations that are Allied with one but neutral to a nation it is at war with.

So possibly, declaring war on a member of the alliance will also change relationships. I need to conduct some experiments.
