TripleA 1.6.1.4 stable is released for Christmas 2012!

I noticed that when set to moore n able in G40, Australia heavily builds factories that it cannot place, even when the Japanese are next its capital.  I did a long term experiment with them and they got up to 23 unplaced factories.  They built the odd ship, but did nothing to resist the invading axis land units. As the game is not really meant for AI, it’s not a big issue.

TripleA 1.6.1.4 is released!

check the first page for links.

here is a picture of how to change map skins:

Click the “View” menu.
Then click “Map Skins”
Then select which skin you want to use.

It will only show you which skins you have downloaded, so you must download both skins for this to work:

original map skin:

battlemap skin:

If you want to have a shortcut in the start menu, then the windows exe with java is the one you want.
The zip one does not install anything (ie: no shortcuts are created), and it can be run from a usb drive because of that. You just have to unzip it somewhere (and make your own shortcut if you want).

either is fine.

Downloaded and up and running…thanks! Also, does this mean we no longer need 1.6.1.2?

Does anyone know if this works with tablets like a Kindle Fire HD?

Until such time as Android / Kindle / iOS choose to support Java SE (ie: full real java), the answer is no.

Windows 8 Pro / Surface Pro will be able to use TripleA though.

Ok, thanks!

Anyone tried out the new map skins?
