Global 1940 and 1943 Expansion for use with TripleA

@panther thanks for your feedback

@barnee

I meant that that you can choose between ‘does nothing AI’ to ‘Easy’, ‘Fast’ and ‘Hard AI’. I also meant what @redrum mentioned that you can give extra money (or units) to the AI nations to make it more interesting and harder to play vs the AI in general.

The only way to improve the AI in my opinion would be making it self aware, so it will learn from playing vs a human opponent, and improve itself by doing so. I guess there are already good computer programs (chess) that are beating human opponents, even chessmasters. So to be fair there is hope for A&A fans around the globe ;)

P.S.
“Making it self aware might be dangerous, and we might get a SKYNET (terminator) situation on our hand ;)”

@aequitas:

I am ok with it and don’t see way it should be removed.

The problem will be that if your computer crashes while the box is being displayed, you won’t get the autosave if it’s the last thing done after displaying the end turn panel.

But it seems there is a strong view to maintain the status quo and no concern about that potential problem. Has no effect on me given that I turn it off so there’s no reason to change that aspect.

Took a while, but looks like we’re back in business  :-D

@jalingo:

OK apparently I can’t quote anything with a link either, but for those Mac users trying to get this to work…

For those still looking, you can download the legacy JRE 6 installer by googling “Java for OS X 2015-001”. I’d post the link, but I can’t :(. Anyhow it seems to keep getting moved / hidden but I found it in kBase (supportapplecom) and you can search there with the following article id: “dl1572”.

Welcome to the forum, jalingo, and thank you for your input.
Please note that the TripleA version you are referring to, is outdated.
So is the JRE 6, too.

TripleA 1.9 will be released soon, replacing version 1.8.0.9, and it needs Java 8.

I have Pacific 1940 2nd ed. game that I bought in May '13 or thereabouts. Convoy rules are on pp. 22-23. They read like the Europe/L.Harris rules that Gargantua has cited: units roll dice, 2 for a/c and subs, and 1 for others. Rolls of “3” or less are tallied, etc. Exactly like my Europe '40 2nd ed. rulebook in game I purchased the same day.

The Pac. '40 2nd ed. rulebook in A&A.org / Resources section is like the one that came with my game.

I did look at Avalon Hill site for Pac. '40 2nd ed. rulebook and it reads the way that Gargantua is citing for Pacific rules, units do an amount of convoy ipc damage without rolling dice. Looked again at cover of that book, however, and it does not indicate “2nd Edition”. Seems like a bad link at AH site. Rulebook link on Pacific '40 2nd ed. page opens 1st ed. book?

Also confirmed that my Pacific rulebook on pg. 10 says that China is not subject to convoy disruption, as P@nther previously noted.

Wow. I cant believe somebody would be called a noob.

I am looking for LSSAH
he is the guy who created a ton of the unit art for TripleA, as well as creating some very very beautiful maps (Empires, and Space / Galaxy Map).

I managed to find Empires in full form, and I found the relief image for the galaxy map, but have not found any other files for the galaxy map.

If anyone either has lssah’s contact info, or knows where i can find him or get to him, could you post it or pm me with it?

If anyone has the Galaxy Map (for the old triplea), anything for it, i would love to have it.

thank you,
