TripleA engine - Known rules-related bugs/issues

You are welcome :slightly_smiling_face:

@CrazyIvan said in TripleA start issues:

@Panther I will do so! And thanks for the help.

One of my first questions will be the way this site separates threads, and how to both search for and post in the correct places!

Basically this site is structured in different categories and subcategories. For example categories on special games, where we discuss the games with their OOB rules and strategies. House Rules are regularly discussed in Customization/House Rules. Playing online has its categories, TripleA has an own support forum and so on…
So topics go to their respective category.

@barney:

@Bravehart:

I wasn’t aware you can edit the program to skip steps ( to speed up things ). Good to know.

I guess even though I knew it was possible, I wasn’t aware either : )
A good way to test stuff

Yes, this feature together with Edit Mode allows for setting up and testing special scenarios.
TripleA offers a lot :-)

The alternative setup discussed in this thread

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=39784.0

has been added to TripleA as a playable map. So no more edits required.

As the development process is still ongoing there is no version control at the moment.
So you will not be prompted to update the map called World War II v5 Second Edition.

To download the latest release including the new Setup simply remove your installed v5-map from within the “Download maps” dialogue, close the “Download maps” dialogue, reopen it and redownload the map.
This way you will always get the latest map-version (regardless whether you have been prompted about an update or not).

When downloaded choose the alternative setup as shown in the attached screenshot.

@sculpt - Glad its giving you a challenge though as this thread mentions you should update to the latest 1.8.0.9!

The Hard AI does not receive any extra bonuses unless you add them in the settings (so no cheating for it). You can always review its past turns using the history feature to prove that it isn’t cheating (‘Game’ > ‘Show history’). If you are having trouble beating it then I suggest giving yourself a small bid to start with then decreasing that as you play against it more.

ps. New Game below… Here USA bid the carrier 2 tanks 2 fighters 1 art.

In under the wire. One last match vs the Machine before the month is out haha! Good old revised

Again with USA +50, LL no tech, no sbr vs skynet, since the machine doesn’t know how to retaliate yet hehe. (This allows for some interesting AAgun options against the AI, since you don’t have to cover vs SBR like you would against a human.) Opted for a Germany focus this time with a Kriegsmarine expansion.
:-D

Straight through again since I had a few hours tonight. Shaved off a round, this time sweeping the map in the 15th.
Axis total victory. Total Domination
:evil:

Elk vs TripleAI Revised US+50 Axis total domination G16.tsvg

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

@Veqryn:

next version has been released for beta testing,

http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/TripleA-1-7-0-1-Beta-has-been-released-tp7583551.html

Wow, the changelog reads incredibly impressive!
Thank you, Veqryn!

I may something crazy here, but playing and finishing a 12 hour game is something I actually only enjoy off-line… Nothing beats an all-nighter. Sure the wives don’t like it, but they’ll come to terms with it, you’ll see

Nevertheless I agree on all remarks that shutting tripleA down is poor costumer management, as well as unnecessary from a sales point of view. (I even think that most TripleA-players not only have avg 3,5 AA boards at home, they’ll probably also have the hasbro cd-rom, which was a perversion of AA in my humble opinion - enough reason to assume an implied license I say)

juh!
:-D

@SgtBlitz:

WHAT. THE. F*CK.  Can we still play networked games on this thing with the latest client?  Cause I don’t think they can shut down that.

Seriously?  HASBRO???  They made ONE super shtty AA CD-ROM game like 10 years ago and are shutting down ALL of TripleA because of it?  I cry bullsht.  AA50 is Avalon Games anyway, is the unstable AA50 client gonna be able to work???

There’s like maybe 50 people online on TripleA at any given time, anyways!  Holy sh*t!  Like these people would be playing a game at home!  The ONLY way you’re going to be playing (and finishing!) a 12 hour Axis and Allies game is ONLINE!

Where’s a link to a petition or something?  This is ridiculous, as there are MANY of the games available on the TripleA client that Hasbro has NO rights too!  I could see them trying to get Classic or Revised taken out but the whole client is just FOOLISH.

Hell, how am I gonna participate in the ladder now, wanted to play matches over TripleA…

Edit:  BTW, may I add I have CLASSIC, REVISED, AND AA50 SITTING IN MY CLOSET AT HOME.  GATHERING DUST.  TRIPLEA WAS THE EASIEST WAY TO FIND OPPONENTS AND GAMES.  THANKS A LOT HASBRO.  NEVER BUYING ONE OF YOUR PRODUCTS AGAIN.
