Sure, those are good ideas -
Very exciting during 2022 to have some returning golden oldies - I guess - myself included <cough>

I apologize if I overlooked you, but Ghostglider and Me1945 were especially interesting come-backs

I have to wins I will file for 2023. I am coming back to the league for this season.

@gamerman01 said in League General Discussion Thread:

And Karl returning to add mayhem in 2023!

I only have you down for 1 in 2022 - did I miss one or are you talking one in progress

I have a win against Soulblighter and Simon33 for 2023

I think I played a game against AndrewGamer in 2022?

@gamerman01 said in League General Discussion Thread:

Right, one reported with Andrew
So you’re saying you’re going to have 2 done in 2023, so in progress and you’re waiting 'til tomorrow to bust out of the gate 2 and 0?

correct

@gamerman01 a Commander Jenn reference, nice!

@gamerman01 Give me six more months of playtesting & I just might have G40+ ready for public release…

@hengst Then, of course, the turn-it-into-a-AAA-module process begins… shouldn’t be too hard if the AAA devs are willing to listen to my desperate feature requests :)

What features do you want?

Dear all,

I somehow have some issues when trying to load and study old games. Most of the time, when I open saved games, I get the following or a similar error message:

I use AAA Java version 11.0.6 and engine version 2.5.22294

This happens with saved games from 2021 and 2022, and it is quite annoying, as it is impossible to study any games.

Has this ever occurred to you, and how did you manage to solve this?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Martin

PS: I get this error message, when I go to Game History and click anywhere

@simon33 I love you.

Starter list:

1. An option for unitAttachments to have a max/min canProduceXUnits when canProduceXUnits = -1;

2. Some way for a triggerAttachment to make all units of a given player convert to those of other players’, by some rule. (See this rule).

3, Allow naval bombardments to be declared without an amphibious assault (I’ve tried to implement this using a dummy “bombard” unit that’s produced by naval vessels each turn in a step between combat movement & combat but I’ve never been able to get it to work the way I want, & it’s horribly inelegant)

4. Ideally, a token victory system that keeps track of how many triggerAttachments have been fulfilled, where the player can control which ones are active at a given time using a new step delegate (tokenManage?)

There’s some more things for edge cases but the majority of the important changes I think I can already do in triple a. It’s a really robust program (even if sometimes it seems the best documentation for writing xmls is just the parser source) :)

@hengst

Almost forgot the most important one. An option for unitAttachments to allow units of certain unitTypes to move from one unit to the other, in a given number, with given conditions.

Imagine a railroadStation unitType that lets railCar units move from one to the other, but only 2 per turn, provided no enemy sabetourInfantry units are adjacent to either railroadStation.

@hengst I don’t understand why you would want #3. Like going back to when you didn’t need as many offloading units as bombardment shots.

For #1 that means you can have a factory which is limited in how many units it can produce and is also limited by the territory value? If I am guessing right. Could be nice, but surely you can live without it.

#4, I think that can be tracked by the players.

#5. interesting idea, moves you way up the complexity chain.

@martin I am not aware of any solution. I believe it is to do with adding units via edit mode. Or at least that is my working theory. Maybe download intermediate save games to view them.

@martin

Illegal State Exception
(attempting merging values British and British)

Sounds like it is caused by Brexit, probably best to just blame Liz Truss.

Seriously though, I think I have had this when looking back at games which have had units added with the edit function, maybe maybe some unique value constraint is broken by the edit. I’m sure I recall that the edit function is still in beta but is included in the production release of TripleA due to it’s extreme usefulness (expecially by people like me who forget to make key moves :drooling_face:).
