Global 1940 and 1943 Expansion for use with TripleA

@Panther

Thank you!

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.

I was going to ask, is this feature going to be made available soon?

Changes for Global 1940 version 3.0

Added all technology to Global 1940. Allowed paratroopers to be moved in a second combat movement phase. Made bonus for Mech Infantry work correctly. Made Rockets go 4 spaces and not fly over neutrals. Allowed UK_Pacific to share the cost of researching technology. Made British share all technology with UK_Pacific. Allowed Convoy Blockades to roll dice (you can turn this off in game options). Allowed Low Luck for Strategy Bombing and Rockets to be set again. Stopped British air units from dying if UK_Pacific was building a factory under them. Forced Tactical Bombers to only be able to target airfields and harbours. Allowed Submarines to enter any sea zone during non-combat, but end movement if there is an enemy Destroyer present.

(and a TON more fixes that were fixed in the TripleA engine [not the map files])

Clarifications about TripleA 1.6 and TripleA 1.5.2.1, and using both at the same time:

Can you play TripleA 1.5.2.1 savegames on TripleA 1.6?
Savegames are incompatible due to the new features i’ve added to 1.6
Keep 1.5.2.1, and download 1.6, and you can run them both at the same time (use 1.5.2.1 for your 1.5.2.1 savegames, and 1.6 for your 1.6 savegames)
The only time savegames are ever compatible, is if it is the 4th digit that is the only digit that changes.
Example: 1.5.2.1 to 1.5.2.2 would be compatible
while 1.5.2.1 to 1.6 is not compatible

Can someone with TripleA 1.5.2.1 play against someone using TripleA 1.6?
No, you must both be using the same version.  
But don’t worry, you can have BOTH versions on your computer.  
When you want to continue your ongoing game that you started with 1.5.2.1, then use 1.5.2.1.
When you want to start a new game with someone who also has 1.6, then use 1.6

If I download Global version 3.0, will I not be able to continue or start games using TripleA 1.5.2.1?
No.
Global version 3.0 contains both 3.0 and 2.9, that way you can use 3.0 with TripleA 1.6, and use 2.9 with TripleA 1.5.2.1
The 2.9 version is named “World War II Global 1940 Alpha”
The 3.0 version is named “World War II Global 1940 Alpha Future”
You will see both of them in your list when you are using TripleA 1.6,
And you will only see the 2.9 version in your list when you are using TripleA 1.5.2.1

Thanks Panther, you’re a genius!  :-)

Playing Pac 40 for the first time ever and thought I’d try out the underdog - the Chinese. Needless to say I am having my butt handed to me in a wok.  :-P

It’s cool fun though.

@Veqryn:

a very very very minor bug

Yes, indeed!

TripleA has definitely improved a lot. Thanks to you and the other developers!

@Subotai:

Not NASA, not NSA, not Google or Apple or anyone, can make an AI that is close to being as good as decent human players, not even with computers that costs billions of dollars.

Would you care to stake $10,000 US on that?

AND YOUR SOUL?

I’m far from being a “rich man” even if I live in one of the richest countries in the world, so I can only afford $1000 (atm), but I’m willing to bet that amount, yes. If I had more money I would be willing to bet all of what I actually have.

One of the participants on the numerous AI threads on the TripleA developers page said that the A&A maps is even more (mathematically) complex than the game GO. So I would take my chance on at least $1000, or the maximum of what I could afford.
The premise is a fair bid, as regarded by humans, and the A&A maps Classic, AA42, AA50, Revised, or G40 when its rules are coded for Triplea.

About my SOUL, I’m an agnostic, so why should I not bet my soul??  :-D :-P
