TripleA engine - Known rules-related bugs/issues

@barnee

I meant that that you can choose between ‘does nothing AI’ to ‘Easy’, ‘Fast’ and ‘Hard AI’. I also meant what @redrum mentioned that you can give extra money (or units) to the AI nations to make it more interesting and harder to play vs the AI in general.

The only way to improve the AI in my opinion would be making it self aware, so it will learn from playing vs a human opponent, and improve itself by doing so. I guess there are already good computer programs (chess) that are beating human opponents, even chessmasters. So to be fair there is hope for A&A fans around the globe ;)

P.S.
“Making it self aware might be dangerous, and we might get a SKYNET (terminator) situation on our hand ;)”

@Bjn:

With no previous experience regarding TripleA, what will be the minimum specs running the program at a decent level? About to buy a PC mainly for Email use, various text programs, and possibly A&A!

Moderator’s edit: Added “TripleA” to title.

The program appears to written in Java.  I can’t imagine you need anything special from a hardware stand point to run it.

@simon33:

I’ve been asked to get it verified that this is indeed a bug in Triple-A. Probably in the map/xml setup.

We agree that it should be Pacific, right?

Perhaps no one has noticed that it is in fact Europe.

Correct, but it is in the game notes:

@Game:

Rules specific to 1940 the engine does not do, but you must follow:
…

(EM) India (UK Pacific) must pay for repairing any damaged facilities on the pacific half of the board (instead of London paying) (use edit mode to subtrack the PUs from India and give back to London).
…

@P@nther:

@Veqryn:

P@nther,
Actually the LHTR Heavy Bombers option only gives +1 to total SBR damage on maps where the xml is configured in a certain way.
In Global 1940, it does NOT give any bonus.

Therefore, it is fully rules compliant.
…

Ah, good to know, thanks for the update!
How is it in AA50-ww2v3?

I tested it myself and found out that it is wrong in ww2v3 (AA50) regarding SBR.
There “1” is added to the best die.
It should be “take the best die” only.

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

@Veqryn:

next version has been released for beta testing,

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