All try and knock out some more of the easy ones. Do you have any preference on what changes you want next?
Oh, this is great - but I’m not sure where exactly I need to save the .xml file to. Once I can open the file as you have wonderfully updated it, I will be able to fine-tune changes better. I have learned more about the game since last spring, too.
You spam the thread all you want. We need you.
-
cool :)
open triplea folder
open maps folder ( if you don’t see one there open your triplea 1804 folder. There will be one in there. Use the first maps folder if you can.)
open world war II global zip
open the games folder (you will find the xmls here)
put the new xml in the games folder ( I have named it Gamer1 and it will show up in your Choose maps area when you start up triplea. It will be with all the other globals)
Let me know if you have any trouble. Almost got the NO’s done.
:)P

Took my first glance. Holy cow, this is exciting.
Shin Ji! You there? Next time you play the houseruled game you won’t have to do all the things you did last time, like skipping turns and whatever else.
1 question - again, I have only taken a quick glance for now - I don’t see an NO tab - I was going to check out your changes. Thanks - more to come later
-
Yea unfortunately the NO tab doesn’t show up unless you put the new name in the objectives properties. I have had mixed results doing this. However at the end of your turn it will tell you what objectives you have obtained. I’ll go ahead and add them to the game notes so you can look them up there.
I didn’t test this very extensively just the obvious scenarios so you’ll want to keep an eye out for unintended results. I took a quick look at convoys. Might be able to get a bastardized version. I can eliminate the convoy SZ’s you don’t want, but changing the max damage without effecting the territory ipc value will be tougher. I assume you just turn off the dice in game options. So you’d have to figure the convoy damage manually and edit if it takes too much.
I suppose the Flying Tigers is the only thing you really can’t edit with triplea? Although some would be messy. I’ll take a look at that and getting the mid factory going. Should be able to figure something out using kamakazies as a guide.
-
Freaking awesome. I assume this is all enjoyable for you, so that’s good.
I like the convoy idea. Some edits for that is not bad - definitely acceptable. There were some to eliminate, I think, yes. If they have to be done manually, I think that is acceptable. It won’t be bad once we get used to playing it.
I hope you will be available when I start to play test it and want to make some more tweaks, or alternatively if you can tell me how you do some things - we can talk about this later. I am pretty comfortable with programming and computer stuff, unlike most people.
-
I should be around for a while yet. I never know when I’ll be going back to work.
Is most enjoyable. I think the more Global versions the better. This map can support many different scenarios. You get tired of one play another.
You know a lot more about computers then I do. Fortunately I have access to someone who is pretty knowledgeable. I’ll try and get a few more things done. Having a little trouble with the factory at the moment.
-
Thanks, I need to look through all these (scanned a few just now) and consider them when testing/playing the house ruled game (still months ahead)
I like the idea of no Japan/Russian war until Russia is at war in Europe, but am hesitant to add too many new rules
Do NOT like the idea of USA having a nearly untouchable +30, etc.
Will cherry pick these ideas (from YG, I believe. Anyway.)Actually I believe that’s Roger Cooper’s mod. He’s done several games over at triplea. He just finished a WWI game.
-
Here’s the mid factory
cost=20
production=5
max damage=10
minor to medium=10
medium to major=12
placement: may only be placed in a originally owned territory with a ipc value of 3 or higher.
reverts to minor when capturedUnfortunately if increased factory tech is activated it will throw a error. I would recommend saving the game before you roll for tech. If you get factory tech you will have to use it manually. Radar tech works fine.
Added a b to xml for clarity.
There are some new units you will have to add to each countries folder in the units folder. It’s in with the xmls. I couldn’t figure out how to compress the units folder enough to attach so you’ll have to do it manually. I didn’t bother adding them to the neutrals or mongolians but you may want to give them to all countries for flexibility.
Looked at convoys again and you didn’t eliminate any zones so I’ll leave it alone for now.
-
That’s good progress
Don’t worry about tech - few people play with it anyway -
Curious about the factory. It’s basically a gemany japan boost. I like the idea of the unit, I think YG has one in one of his set ups. Just wondered what the thinking was behind it.
-
This is pretty neat. Thanks, Barney!
RIght now I’m in two hot and heavy games, but after that, I’d be happy to play a game with these rules.

Too dramatic a difference between 3 and 10. It’s about the starting setup too - especially India. I don’t like India having a major, but a minor is too small. Etc.
-
Can I add: It is also because many of us thought it was stupid that 10 units could be put on a territory, which did not start with one. Norway or Romania, for example should not be allowed to produce as many units as an industrialised nation, like Germany, England or the US. These are nations that have been industrialised for centuries.
Starting Majors should be the only ones allowed, in my opinion. -

Starting Majors should be the only ones allowed, in my opinion.I don’t see the point in buying a major either.
-
That’s a new point for me, Wittman, and I agree.
However, as Soulblighter has already kind of pointed out, we probably don’t need a rule against it because it really is never a good idea anyway. Especially with the mid-complex option.However, thinking about this now (I came up with the rule early this year), I don’t think any mid or major complexes should be allowed to be built. I would like India to be a mid-level complex instead of a major, but maybe it’s better to not introduce the mid-level complex and have India start with a minor on West India, and a minor on India.
-
Yes, that’s the way I want to go.
Reducing the major also gives Japan a better opportunity to SBR India, but adding the minor to West India really helps offset that too. I’m going to change the document. -
I am happy with that, Gamerman.
-
Barney, I made the one change, and highlighted it in green for you. I removed all yellow highlight because I don’t think it’s needed any longer. I will highlight any changes in green now, so that you can find anything that’s changed since you first looked at it.
I need to look over my whole document again soon
