Submarine-related Issues with TripleA

@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 ;)”

@CrazyIvan Also for playing online you might want to check out our TripleA forum, especially the stickies there: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/28/triplea-support

Have a writing talent that you would like to put to work? Or would like to contribute to TripleA but don’t know how?

We are drafting an idea for a TripleA blog. As the website admin, I am responsible for lining up some authors. I know that A&A.org has a great blog, and we thought that launching a blog devoted to TripleA would nicely cap the successful development of the new TripleA website, which will be official as of version 1.8.0.10. Potential topics for post may include:

Strategy for any of the TripleA maps, including WWII

Map design tips and tricks

Challenges and Tournaments

Showcasing a “Game of the Month”

Announcements

Most other TripleA related content (I am the editor, so I will moderate.)

Please post below if you would like to commit to writing a few articles a month, or even commit to contribution, in any form. We are looking for contributors, and are looking for anyone who would like to volunteer. If we get enough volunteers, the plan will go though. Please feel free to ask any questions below.

Wow. I cant believe somebody would be called a noob.

As long as we’re talking battle calc, how about allowing the user to specify OOL?  Sometimes you want that bomber on defense to be taken last and see how much that changes your chances….

Or to hold subs back and not lose them first.  Can be very significant when you have super subs, like I often do.  :-)

Meanwhile, I will continue to rely on my more detailed and versatile calculator, even though it’s designed for AA50.  It still works better for Global than the TripleA calc, even though it does carriers different and doesn’t have tacs

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.

Sorry, my last bug report may have been not-actually-a-bug.
The enemy ships that appeared to co-exist with the own were not moved but built there in the Purchase Phase.
I understood this is forbidden in some A&A versions and allowed in others - but can’t track now which is which ;-)
The scenario may have used the setting which allows that.
