TripleA: Where to dl, How to Download Maps, Pictures of games TripleA supports

@Black_Elk Great, that’s exactly what I had in mind ;)

I think it is possible to find what is the exact minimal ratio to minimize the empty space on the right. And I already have some ideas on what to put there. It’s great how sometimes technical constrains give you the opportunity to develop nice stuff!

@Panther Thank you. This has solved my problems.

0k, thanks.

Sometimes the solution is that easy…  :roll:

In TripleA just use EDIT-Mode to assign the technologies you want to the nations you want.
You can do that for all nations when it comes to Germany’s very first “Buy Tech tokens”-Phase,
and of course at any time later.

I do not know why I did not realize that before…

:-)

In fact it was only one border line to change.
First I changed it in the bastile map, adding a new line some pixels to the right of the old line in pure black and then erazing the old line.
Then I reconstructed the relief-art. In paint.net I added a new layer to the base map pasting the relief art to it. Then I copy-pasted the new border line to the relief art. From the relief art I removed the old border line using the clone-stamp.

Then I ran through the Map Builder tools such as polygon grabber etc. to implement the changes to the relevant txt-files.

Just take a look at the files to see the results.

Yes.  It would just need to be set up as a new XML so that it is selectable as a different mod.

Well we’re coasting through 2014 now, with the fall coming up…

And since I’m less broke than usual, I’ll throw down this c note I got in cash tips to help these services and communities that I enjoy so much.

50 battle bucks each to A&A.org and TripleA, after a summer hard fought!

Coming at you compliments of the Starship BBQ! Hits at a 4 haha
Battle cruising on the front lines, out here in the West. In my other life as a mobile cater waitering grunt :)

Thanks for all you do everyone!

@Veqryn:

LHTR = larry harris tournament rules

Yes, I know.
@Veqryn:

besides modifying the java bin, you will have to play by the rulebook + FAQ that is printed on the A&A website, or the LHTR rules

Ah, I now see what causes my confusion:
On the A&A/Wizards-Site there is an old FAQ (March, 20 2009)
http://www.wizards.com/AvalonHill/rules/AxAl-AnEd_Errata.pdf
that does not contain any Heavy Bombers changes.
So Heavy Bombers’ rules are OOB rules.

My games usually are under OOB-rules with latest FAQ (February, 5 2010),
as to be found on Harris Game Design
http://harrisgamedesign.com/pdf/A&A_Anniversary_FAQ.pdf
Here Heavy Bombers are changed to “roll both and choose best”
(but without +1 on SBR).

So the TripleA map does not reflect the latest rules but a status prior to these.
Got it now. Thank you! :)
