Anyone interested in trying out the next version of TripleA early…

@mikawagunichi

No, there is no way, sorry. But TripleA should be installable on older computers, too. It’s maybe only a question of the correct installation file?
What OS is he running on the old computer?

First posting updated to the new stable version of TripleA (1.7.0.3).

For sure.  Thanks Veqryn

Dice stats settle luck debates.

Triple A is easily, hands down, my preferred method of playing turn based strategy games.  So many great options and flexibility to ensure things are governed by the engine.  Personally I feel all the added features are nice and since you can turn them all off with a single click they are also not a distraction if I wish to eliminate them from play.  Many add to the atmosphere of the game and while they might appeal to the more juvenile side of my personality isn’t that what escaping to the fantasy of a video game is all about?

Cmdr Jennifer obviously all the efforts you have put into ABattlemap make you biased  towards your own work, and that is understandable.

@Subotai:

Not NASA, not NSA, not Google or Apple or anyone, can make an AI that is close to being as good as decent human players, not even with computers that costs billions of dollars.

Would you care to stake $10,000 US on that?

AND YOUR SOUL?

I’m far from being a “rich man” even if I live in one of the richest countries in the world, so I can only afford $1000 (atm), but I’m willing to bet that amount, yes. If I had more money I would be willing to bet all of what I actually have.

One of the participants on the numerous AI threads on the TripleA developers page said that the A&A maps is even more (mathematically) complex than the game GO. So I would take my chance on at least $1000, or the maximum of what I could afford.
The premise is a fair bid, as regarded by humans, and the A&A maps Classic, AA42, AA50, Revised, or G40 when its rules are coded for Triplea.

About my SOUL, I’m an agnostic, so why should I not bet my soul??  :-D :-P

Ok, I am going to give you guys some motivation to motivate ComradeKev to code the rules for Global, Europe, and Pacific 1940 into the TripleA engine.

Here is how it will work:

I will match 20% of every donation to TripleA, (up to $50 on my end, tho a minimum of $10 on my part).  I will let this little donation drive run for 2 weeks, or a month if it goes well, then I’ll make the big matching donation.

Here is where you go to donate:
https://sourceforge.net/project/project_donations.php?group_id=44492
or directly, here: https://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=44492

This money will go to SGB and ComradeKev, who are the people coding TripleA.

Please mention in your COMMENT when you donate, that the donation is specifically for the 1940 RULES!

thx,
veqryn

@swordfish:

For one, I could not seem to find any of the map files (such as ‘basetiles’, ‘relieftiles’, ‘games’, etc.) that are a part of the default games (which I believe there are four of, including Big World 1942) that come with the TripleA client.

When downloading maps, they are saved in the same location as the savegames (the user folder) rather than in the application directory.  For instance, on my Win system, they are in C:\Users\username\triplea\maps.
