@VictoryFirst Got it thanks a lot!!!

This link takes you to All triplea maps https://github.com/triplea-maps

Select the map you want. We will use “global_40_expansion_uhd_boxes” for our example.

Open Zip and Rename Folder by removing “-master” at the end to 'global_40_expansion_uhd_boxes" and place in your “downloadedMaps” Folder inside your “triplea” Folder.

Blends on makes the units easier to see in certain areas such as Italy and ANZAC

@Panther Thank you very much

I had that same problem.
I solved it by un-installing Triple A and then I installed the newest version of Triple A with the link that included JAVA.
Everything worked great then. I hope this helps you!

I’ve downloaded some stuff ( actually my wife ) and I can get to maps and I cant find the one that looks like the Global set up. I’m new to the computer so I am extremely challenged.  I would like to play on line but I need some help

@swordfish:

For one, I could not seem to find any of the map files (such as ‘basetiles’, ‘relieftiles’, ‘games’, etc.) that are a part of the default games (which I believe there are four of, including Big World 1942) that come with the TripleA client.

When downloading maps, they are saved in the same location as the savegames (the user folder) rather than in the application directory.  For instance, on my Win system, they are in C:\Users\username\triplea\maps.

In the /doc folder inside Triplea open the document Game Playing Guide .html 
Scroll down to section 2.4 Play By E-Mail Game (PBEM) ~ZP
