[1914] TripleA and editing contested territories

@SuperbattleshipYamato I have not tried it that much also. It’s pretty fun. Yeah I would just use edit for that.

@JPatrickRemiger since you’re new to triplea, might as well start out with the latest https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/39809/new-triplea-map-uhd-world-war-ii-global?page=1

can only DL with 2.5. Otherwise gotta go direct from git.

@panther thanks for your feedback

@creeping-deth87

The rulebooks explicitly say:
"Place new facilities in any eligible territory that you have controlled since the start of your turn. "

So you are of course correct, you are not allowed to place a new IC in a just converted friendly neutral territory.

This is one of the aspects that TripleA handles incorrectly when dealing with “neutrals”.

So the correct handling of the rule must be player enforced.

I move this topic to the TripleA Support category.

@trent15

Right on. A saved game would be very helpful though. That way the AI can be even better than it is : )

@Ichabod Building facilities on just ‘activated’ neutrals indeed is an unresolved issue, that is part of @gamerman01 's list in this topic:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/21330/triple-a-g40-comprehensive-list-of-currently-unresolved-issues

It is noted as issue at the Github-repository of that map, too:
https://github.com/triplea-maps/world_war_ii_global/issues/2

Of course - as you correctly pointed out - it is not allowed, as the rulebook clearly states "Place new facilities in any eligible territory that you have controlled since the start of your turn. " (Rulebook Pacific 1940.2, page 22).

I can’t say whether this will ever be fixed. In the meantime you could tell your opponents in advance that TripleA does not remove the player’s responability of knowing the rules. That is what the game notes of this map say in the “Disclaimer”-section, too.

TripleA has known issues and after all those years we still discover new ones. It is an ongoing process of improvement. However everybody’s time is limited and there is a lot to do … :slightly_smiling_face:

Wow, that was fast.
Thank you very much.
:-)

Just to sum up what happened at the end of this thread:

TripleA is very much alive. It got purged of any name references to the boardgame, but the maps resembling the official boardgame in setup support the complete rulesets of all the versions out there.
More important, in my eyes, it features some user made maps with different themes. Some of them are aimed at the advanced player (like New World Order - NWO1.7EB, for example), with the positive side-effect of having a mannered and above-average skilled community around them. The large maps tend to value strategic thinking above tactical assessment.
