All good with how the game is coded for air units with regard to desert zones. Air units cannot move into the desert spaces per the rules on pages 11 and 32.

Hello Community,

I am have been trying to get the file for 1914 to work on my TripleA but everytime I download it from the TripleA files or from the link TheGoodCaptain put on his youtube channel I get the following error.

“ava.lang.IllegalStateException: Error in resource loading. Unable to load expected resource: polygons.txt, the error is that either we did not find the correct path to load. Check the resource loader to make sure the map zip or dir was added. Failing that, the path in this error message should be available relative to the map folder, or relative to the root of the map zip”

Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated as I would love to be able to play 1914 without having to set up my actual board game.

@DoManMacgee

I would prefer a 1v1 vice multiplayer.

The CP does not accept the armistice.

@barnee I literally just got it to work…

So how I got it to work was the following. I unzipped the Good Captain’s file. Then when I got the unzipped folder, I had the following file path downloadedMaps\world_war_i_1914\world_war_i_1914\map.

What I did was pull the second ‘world_war_i_1914’ to my downloaded games so now the file path reads: downloadedMaps\world_war_i_1914\map. When I started the game with the following file path, it worked and I am able to play the game.

Thank you for your help in this matter. Talking to you about it this way somehow got my brain to figure this out.

Fair enough. I will accept your unconditional surrender. You can start up the next game at your leisure.

@Martin

Hello, thank you for posting this so I can see. Looking forward to the games.

@the_good_captain it shows it in the game history. The game took your tank but I edited it back in and took an extra inf from you.

@the_good_captain I honestly did not realize there was no harbor in India when I made my buy so I changed my transport into 2 inf if that is ok with you. If not I can edit it back to a lone transport sitting off of the British Isles.

I apologize about that and should’ve looked closer at the board that there was no harbor symbol there

Hope you don’t mind but I would’ve taken 2 fighters instead of 1 as a casualty. I edited back 1 inf and took away an additional fighter.

Ragnell804

@gamerman01

I mean to be fair. You should not have been wasting your time attacking the allied fleet with just German planes. You were bound to lose them like this eventually and the planes are more worth more to the axis alive than the allies. Especially since the economies are not bloated like in G40 and everything outside of ground units cost more. And as you can see they are harder to replace with a small economy.

If you look at my games with @The_Good_Captain, we throw away planes on calculated risks otherwise we both do our best to protect our planes. We also never attack the allied fleet again after turn 1 no matter how juicy the target.

Ragnell804

@the_good_captain

I did the inf edit.

The jokes on you, you offered peace terms and my UK units heard it and decided to hit well below the average. It looks like the Ottomans can hold on for another turn.

Yes, this was a good game though.

Ragnell804

@gamerman01

I did not mean my comment from a 20/20 hindsight obviously with that bad roll you shouldn’t have taken it talk but from a I have been there done that before.

I stayed silent because I know crazy dice rolls happen in this game, I do not comment much on posts and the previous turn did not warrant a response since you didn’t say anything either. Yeah, a 1% happened on the German air force this turn, but you also rolled a 5/6 on turn 4 with me rolling 0/5, which, without doing the math, is probably close to a 2% or less chance. Based on that, you came into this battle with at least 1-2 more planes than you should have. Even then in this battle you rolled up again with your plane attack, taking out an extra unit, its just the allies hit back harder than expected.

I say you shouldn’t have made the attack because that is just a thing I also learned the hard way not to attack the allied fleet since eventually the Germans come up short having to replace planes constantly. That and eventually you will get a bad roll that comes up or the allies roll hot, like happened in our original tournament game, its like the gamble of the AAA fires, great if they miss but when it hits it hurts a lot. Ftrs are so expensive that replacing them hurts your ability to push into Russia since you are losing on 4inf with the buy.

Looking at the board state I can tell you that Germany despite the constant killing of the allied fleet could not move forward past East Europe just because you have spent a lot of IPC into the air force. This is all pending non-insane dice of course.
