Just bought the game and need help…..

You need to edit the respective game.xml to be found in the subfolder “games” of your TripleA map.
Best idea would be to study the xml of existing FFA-mods and compare what is different to “regular” game.xml.

Take as an example Napoleonic Empires 5 Player FFA:

here you see

<playerlist><player name="France" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><player name="UnitedKingdom" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><player name="AustrianEmpire" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><player name="OttomanEmpire" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><player name="Russia" optional="false" canbedisabled="true"><alliance player="UnitedKingdom" alliance="UnitedKingdom"><alliance player="Russia" alliance="Russia"><alliance player="AustrianEmpire" alliance="AustrianEmpire"><alliance player="France" alliance="France"><alliance player="OttomanEmpire" alliance="OttomanEmpire"></alliance></alliance></alliance></alliance></alliance></player></player></player></player></player></playerlist>

There may be other parts of the xml affected.

HTH :-)

@huntdax:

I have the 15 yr old PC game by Hasbro Interactive.  I am having trouble with the graphics to play the game.  The game is made for WIN95/98 while my PC runs Win7.  What do I need to do to change in my settings for this to work.  Much appreciated.

Right click on the EXE file for the program (AandA.exe?)… in Win7 you’ll get options to enable windows compatibility mode, and several toggle switches.  Experiment a bit till you get something that works, you can use Win95 mode, Win98 mode, etc, etc… there’s also some other options, I forget what they are, but I had a very old Win95 game called Pacific General that just would not run under Win7 until I set it to Win95 mode and checked all the boxes, finally it ran as it should run in Win7 just like old Win95 days.

Give it a try.

Larry Harris wrote some great “Reports from the front” last year before A&A1914 was released. They helped me very much to learn and understand the specific rules and settings of the new game.

My question is, are there any similar reports for A&A classic or A&A50? Maybe somebody else did write this kind of reports with detailed actions?

Thanks!

I took my 1999 Europe, 2001 Pacific, 2004 Revised, 1942, 1942 2nd edition, and 1941 and put them into Artbins. Like you, I left specific campaign, global, and AA50th in their boxes.

I like the train tracks. Are you including rail rules?
:-D, yes there’s rail rules on the game board but not the one under the table!!
Wargame is not my only hobby

@harry_beast:

I have a 98edition A&A-won’t run on my P4with WinXP-runs on my old P3with Me2000.It also doesn’t seem to have the capability to auto join multiplayer games.
  I would assume a newer game would be in order!
  So–---------What all do I need to play on-line?(real-time )

@Jennifer:

Also, don’t minimize/Maximize the screen often if you can avoid it.

I think this is what did it to me (maximizing).

:D How about you go back to the shop that you bought the game, tell them what happened and ask them to replace it for you :lol: :o If they don’t do that don’t worry about it cause when buying tanks in a game you normally use the red and white chips to stack up tanks!! :D :D
