The big problem with BattleMap is that it does not work on Mac and Linux computers.
You can zoom out in TripleA but the problem that I find is that it is like an image zoom out instead of a vector, you start to lose the details of things like territory borders, which essentially make the zoom useless.
Battlemap doesn’t fit on a single screen either, and no one is complaining?
Global is just HUGE in general…
If people want clarity, perhaps UGLY/SIMPLE tiles can be made that are standard per country and appear as identical (but different color) blocks on the screen. that stack well.
Maybe TripleA is too good… by allowing you to choose the resolution you desire, is it possible to instead have a selection of 3 predetermined resolutions that work to the most effect?
None of this adresses Veqryn’s comments though. Dealing with GTO.
The only way to combat it, is to infect GTO. Get in there, play games yourself, and spam the alternative until people leave - and do so because they want to.
It’s easier to MOVE a community as a whole… than it is to create a -new- one.

I’ve improved the zoom greatly. I’ve also commanded TripleA to automatically re-draw the territory borders a second time on top of everything IF you are zooming.
Please update to version 1.6.1.2 for this feature.
I’m totally open to suggestions as always. Its crazy that I can make improvements faster than GTO, with their actual programming budget, can.

That’s because you’re actually passionate about this game, and this community.
We are forever greatful…

I’ll have played with the zoom and try it out.

Yeah, forgot how big 40 is. I don’t play it, so my comments are more from an AA50 gamer.
Yeah Veqryn, you’ve done some great work and TripleA is great and I’ll continue to use it, but just wanted to kinda answer P@ther that battlemap still has its appeal in some instances.

We can probably do more TripleA only tourneys since they should move faster.
If someone wants to post an invitation for players on the axisandalliesunderground.com feel free. Its OK with me. It s not much but it will get exposure out to around 300 unique IP’s and gamers per day.

The zoom works great!!
I found out that GTO has 5 full time, and 1 part time, employees.
Yet they still only support A&A “Revised” and “1942 1st edition”.
Why people are paying to play over there, and not playing over here for free, is beyond me.
It only took like a month for us to get the new 1941 going! Yet GTO basically tells their users that it is ‘too difficult’ to adapt any new A&A games for them.
LOL
comon guys, we need to get people using TripleA and playing on AxisAndAllies.org
A new user asked a couple questions and was instantly subjected to an unending (several minutes) barrage of abuse….
…was immediately called a ‘noob’…by another moderator.
Send me a private message anything such things happen.
I’ve been trying for a some time to make the lobby “PG” friendly.
Including signing up some new moderators, and banning all political talk, etc.
Most of our mods are really quite good, and should be helping people, and defending noobs, and of course muting/booting anyone who is abusive.
If any mods are not doing those three things, then they are unworthy of their tag and I can and will remove their mod powers.
So don’t wait for a post like this, send me a private message anytime anything like that happens (and try to include a screenshot if possible).
I take it really seriously.
Wow. I cant believe somebody would be called a noob.
