Ok thank you. How do I open the XML?

I do like the Domination 1914 blood and steel option, however, one thing I don't get is why infantry is an option as a unit but why Austria for example can only buy conscripts.

@Cernel I like domination 1914 no mans land, however, I want it to be a little more accurate in the sense that certain countries can declare war at certain times, not everyone starts off at war, I also dislike the neutral farming and how France can and usually does invade Switzerland, which adds another element entirely. I like the technologies.
my issues with Weltpolitik is that the units just to expensive, there is no trench option either. Also I don't really understand the political dynamic and how to influence/change them, I really like how Mexico/china are apart of that game. Is there a rulebook for Weltpolitik? Maybe that will help me understand it more.

@Cernel I like the game, its just way to complex. I don't get how to do all the political actions. I tried to find the rules but no luck.

@beelee So do I run the map creator with this downloaded map or what do I do if the map is downloaded to start modding it?

I'm trying to make a more balanced/historically accurate version of the Domination 1914 No Mans Land map. I like the game its just not all that accurate in my opinion or it could be better. The goal is to eventually make my own WWI game.

@beelee Thank you. I do have triplea downloaded. I'll get started!

I am a complete beginner to map/game making on AAA and I am not a programming wiz. I have tried to find tutorials to help me make my own game but I can't find anything. Any advice or links to a tutorial would be great. Thanks.

Thanks, how would I begin that process?

I would like to make my own game, however I am not a computer programming wiz. Are there any good resources for those who want to make their own games? I tried looking through the forums and didn't find much info on it. Thanks.
