@Caesar1 Best list of “rules” is in the game notes. In addition to this, there is strategy guide
https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/661/total-world-war-strategy-guide?_=1706148554805

Other tidbits can be found on those forums as well.

@Caesar1 Like surfer said. The best info is in the game notes. If you get tired of reading the rules and want to try, rather than read, heres a few important keynotes:

terrain bonuses: forests, hills and islands make it harder to attack

logistics: you can use a train to transport troops if you build tracks. or you can transport them with trucks.

construction: to construct buildings, you first need to build “material”. To build advanced ships you first need to build a “hull”.

units: various infantry may require a specific terrain feature. E.g Marines can only be built on the coast. other units may require 2 specific buildings. E.g a cruiser needs a “Factory” and “Docks” in a territory to build.

Germany are caught in extreme cold and cant move any units on the eastern front the first turn.

Use battle calculator ctrl-B to check the odds, because terrain bonuses may give unexpected results

@Guderian1 I get this error message when I try to post the game in 2.5. strangely it works if I try to post the game in 2.6. I will ask someone.

[Guderian1]

I have downloaded the same version as someone else who have used the game flawlessly. version 2.6.14526. I hope it will work flawlessly for the rest of you as well. (I have had minor issues with version 2.6.14607 & 2.5.22294)

I will use all the default settings. Add your emails in the game if you want to be on the dice list.

I will use 2.6.14526 if it is ideal for this game

[mainah]

@Avner
I am running the same as you, tried out g1 and r1. Didn’t seem to get any errors. As far as I know, all 2.6 are compatible with each other

[Guderian1]

Here is the game manual in pdf. Its much better to read than having to scroll inside a java window. https://github.com/triplea-maps/total_world_war_manual/blob/master/TWW_lossy_new.pdf

@Grinchveld thank you ;) I wanted China the least of all, and Im very pleased with Japan.
China is prey of Japan. The game rules doesnt stray that much from A&A, but theres lots of minute details about terrain bonuses and unit bonuses. hills are good to defend, mountains are excellent to defend. alpine infantry are better in hills and mountains.
Thats the most important you need to know as china

@Guderian1
I am sorry I get this message when I try to download TWW map:

I downloaded the master zip. file but I don’t know how install TWW

[surfer]

@Caesar1 are you using the download maps feature inside triple A? Or manually downloading the file?
The error looks like your internet was down, or at least triple A couldn’t open a connection in Java. I intermittently have that problem connecting to the dice servers. (Other programs connect, just not tripleA) Restarting the program usually “fixes” the connection.

[Guderian1]

@surfer I cant dowload maps from the 2.6 client so I download them from version 2.5 They are put in the same folder. I assume you can unpack the zipfiles for the particular map in the same folder and it will work.
