Can I save a hosted game, or does it need to be finished in 1 sitting?

@enigma said in Problems starting up games:

@panther Thank You for taking You time to answer. Tough decision 🤔. Since the problem has been present since january one might hope, that a new fixed version will be ready soon.
Still strange though, that I am not able to set up games at all, but are able to play games set up by opponents. Off course with the “tripleA not able to post to forum issue”.

I agree this is strange. This question remains open, indeed.

@dawgoneit

Be sure to select the correct forum when setting up the game:

When the software says “username does not exist” you most likely have chosen a forum where you are not registered.
Good luck!

I dunno. I downloaded the save before you posted the error and worked fine for me. My guess would have to be either the download of the save game from the forum was funky and the file was incomplete.

@AcesWild5049 Very interesting, thank you for elaborating on this.

Thanks, I did install Europe and found v2 included.

@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.

@all - We are looking to release 1.8.0.9 shortly due to the naval retreat bug that was found and fixed. I’ve uploaded the pre-release equivalent of that and would appreciate some assistance testing various maps, game types, etc to make sure there aren’t any issues. Pre-release install instructions here: http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/AI-Development-Discussion-tp7585227.html

Here is the change log:

Bug fix, retreat from naval combat was not possible, now fixed Increase scroll speed when using arrow keys. Holding down control speeds up arrow key scroll Map edge scroll zone now larger, placing map next to the very edge of the map increases scroll speed even more AI: Fixed calculating defenses on maps with air/naval bases to properly calculate enemy range AI: Fixed bug around not defending against enemy units that were transported the previous turn (they were being marked as already transported when potential enemy attacks were calculated)

@Gargantua:

TripleA is cheat-proof

That’s not entirely accurate.  There is a scenario I can think of in which some shady circumstances can occur - in a particular scenario.

It’s safer to say - Axis and Allies is cheat proof, as long as your dice are done through a server - and you pay attention to the actual game mechanics.

Well I’m mostly comparing it to Battlemap, where it would be easy to add units here or there.  If extra units are discovered, there’s no way to tell if it’s cheating or an unintended mistake.

In my experience, it’s the unintentional mistakes that most often mar Battlemap games.  Consequently, many players spend alot of time checking maps and moves for accuracy.

With TripleA the above scenarios don’t happen, because you’d have to use edit to add in units that shouldn’t be there.  And any edit is clearly visible in the game history.
