Step by step instructions to Play by Forum

Thank you!

@ksmckay Yes, those provided here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases.

But interestingly I cannot reproduce those issues when using the current release 2.0.20868, either.
I recreated your scenarios and everything went fine.

So I have no idea what messed up your game…

My BM installation (4.0) is the standard that comes with the Global-map-installation.

Hi Panther, Play By Forum is working now, thanks for the help.

@dawgoneit Every installation creates a TripleA shortcut on your desktop. Now those shortcuts look totally identically, so you need to figure out which shortcut is for which version.

So doubleclick on any shortcut and see which version starts. You determine the version on the top left of the starting screen:

Here you see it is Engine Version 2.1.20613.

Now load 2.1 savegames by klicking “Open Saved Games” and selecting the file.

In case you start the 1.9 engine load 1.9-savegames the identical way.

@djensen A space is problematic, indeed, as it prevents from posting, too. Though the error message appears to be different. Replacing the space by a hyphen still caused an error message but at least allowed posting in this case. The best solution appears to be to change the username in that case.

I have edited the information in https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/32464/triplea-new-stable-release-working-with-the-forum accordingly.

Yes, I was online last night and watched a game round or two of a couple global 40 games. Just to get a sneak peek of what strategies are being used. I will see if I can find someone to set up a play by forum game against. Looking forward to a game against different opponents other then my couple friends who play. More importantly, and I might get blown out of the water, but I’d like to play against some skilled opponents. Just to see where I stand.

Thanks again for your help. The videos were especially helpful

@Bunnies:

@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

Cancel last I found it.  :-)
