I have opened this thread for this issue:

… as it turned out that this is not a Java Error but a forum problem.

The option to adjust time between AI’s movement is actually at ‘Game’ > ‘AI Pause Duration’ and is the milliseconds between moves. It does persist across sessions and save games.

That being said using the history panel is even better since you can review and click through moves as many times as you’d like. To show the history panel just go to ‘Game’ > ‘Show History’ and to hide it go to ‘Game’ > ‘Show Current Game’.

manual dice = use edit mode while rolling them.  for some things, like combat, i think it lets you pick the dice or pick whatever casualties you want.  for other dice rolls, it won’t do anything.

ai speed = change the ‘ai pause duration’ to be really high.  if you are using dynamix ai, you can pause the ai at any point in the special dynamix ai menu.

the AI is really just a novelty used for learning how to use the triplea controls and user interface, and for practicing a map for the first time ever

playing other people is what the game is about

i have no plans to do any work on the AI at all

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.
