The pandemic was awesome for Youtube with all the Youtube wars going on.
would any people like to join me in a new version of Youtube wars?
@SuperbattleshipYamato Hello- if you are still looking to start up games I am looking to play 1914 as either side
@SuperbattleshipYamato I’ve used it but I’ve mainly done play-by-email and don’t know much about play-by-forum but I’m open to trying it.
Shoot, I misphrased. Do you have trouble with the 1914 map on TripleA (you said you wanted to play that with me)?
@SuperbattleshipYamato I’ve figured out how to simulate the submarine warfare attacks and to manage the amphibious invasions opposed by Artillery, so I’m good on that score now.
Okay, good. I was worried you weren’t able to access the map at all.
Alright, I’m the Allies.
@SuperbattleshipYamato Attempting to start a forum game doesn’t work and I don’t know how to troubleshoot this. Using version 2.5.22294. The setup interface also requires me to put in two emails to send the results of the dice rolling and I put mine in for both slots since I don’t have an email for you.
Hmmm.
@The_Good_Captain Think you can help with this?
My email’s skylercheung09@gmail.com
Keep in mind I’m busy at the moment so even if you successfully troubleshoot it I won’t be ready for a week or two.

1914 download instructions: You have to move the unzipped map to the downloadedMaps folder in the folder where you installed Triplea. Reboot the game and look for 1914.

Let me know if you need any help or run into any snags. Still trying to get the TripleA ppl to fix this - seems like everyone has this problem but the above will fix it for some reason.
@The_Good_Captain Yes, I have it in downloadedfMaps after doing the direct download since telling the game to install the map itself from the Experimental list doesn’t launch. I haven’t had any issues playing local games.
@Eqqman my bad - I think I understand, This is what you need I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajcazSNjfXQ
@The_Good_Captain It’s specifically play-by-forum that doesn’t seem to be working. Play-by-email is ok as far as I know.
@The_Good_Captain I saw today that somebody managed to start a new forum game, so I tried it again and got a different error- now it says my user name doesn’t exist when I tell the app to make a test post. So something’s changed.
Play by email is fine, that’s what I usw. No need for play by forum if you’re okay with it.
the only difference between a play-by email game and a forum game is that you copy paste the turn summary into the thread for a play by forum. That’s it.
The play by forum feature of automatically posting has been out of service for two years now.
Bottom line up front: every game is play by email, you need to copy paste the summary and file manually to the forum to “play by forum” now.
