TRying to tweak unit settings in aaa
-
Hi guys, trying to put a custom unit ability into AAA
Simply put i would like cruisers to have an AA ability. Its a house rule we want to test.
I’ve got into the xml file and seen where the unit stats are but simply putting
<option name=“isAA” value=“true”>Causes the game to crash out on loading
Anyone know how i can do this?</option>

If it is TripleA xml files? You better ask some of the developers on http://triplea.sourceforge.net/mywiki

Yeah it is Subotai

I’ve also been browsing over here lately too. If you’ll past the JAVA exception message in a post, I’ll see what it’s telling us.

You’re trying to create a unit that’s not allowed in the game. There are certain combinations of unit attachments that aren’t allowed, specifically you’re trying to create a sea unit that is also AA.
Here are the general rules:
if Sea, you can’t be AA, air, factory, strategic bomber, carried by a carrier or transport, or marine.If Land, you can’t be bomber, sub, carry anything (carrier capacity or transport capacity), bombard.
If Air, you can’t be sea, factory, sub, AA, transported by a transport, transport other air, blitz, bombard, or marine.
I’ve been kicking around the idea of changing some of this (e.g. have an air suppression sea unit), but it’ll be a while before I can get to that point.
Hope that helps.
