@djensen Thank you for all what you are doing for us.

Myself, I have spent an unusual amount of time on the forum and in front of my PCs before, during and after the migration, in order to identify problems, deal with feedback, provide information, give support, suggesting my ideas as regards content and organization, sorting threads, cleaning-up topics… just to name some activities. (Thank you to my family for their understanding )

Now, I don’t even do this as a business, I do it just for fun. As Dave with this site gives me the chance to ideally combine my hobbies: I love strategic boardgames, I am an IT-interested autodidact, I love to moderate discussions and deal with change management. Doing all of this and the feedback I sometimes get from the community is “salary” enough.

Instead, I will be happy to donate another 50 USD for my next 2019 Gold patronage in some weeks.

I don’t expect that everyone takes the same fun out of this site as I do. And I am aware that only a fraction of users even reads the topics in this category including this thread. But in case you read it, and in case you take some fun out of this website and have not donated so far - please consider doing it now!

Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a big Thank You to all of you, who make this forum a great place to be!

Currently this community when using TripleA suffers from some serious problems described and discussed here and - more important - on the triplea-game .org forum.

Everybody feel free to add your concerns to the above mentioned topics. You don’t reach the developer(s) here but over there.

@captain-walker
If users upvote your posting by klicking the heart symbol

this adds to your “reputation”.

Additionally there appears to be a “reward system” that adds for example 200 “points” once your post count exceeds 20,000, regardless of what you have posted (including for example TripleA turn postings).

So “reputation” is the sum of all upvotes (maybe subjective quality, maybe a simple confirmation of taking notice) and quantity (mass posting reward), which - benevolently - might be interpreted as reward for long time membership.

Welcome to the forum.

Please don’t dig out and resurrect 11 years old and outdated topics addressing people that haven’t been online for more than eight years.

See our Forum Rules please.

Thank you

TripleA-versions starting from 1.9.0.0.13066 do work with the current forum software - and allow Play by Forum.

From the changelog (https://triplea-game.org/release_notes/)

Get it from

https://triplea-game.org/download/

Have you already registered your email-address in order to use the external dice server?

If not, please do so, as you need to enter your and your opponent’s registered dice email addresses.

When resuming older games or starting a new game don’t forget to identify the new game-ID (=topic-ID = Game Name) and enter it into the game details.

How to identify the game-ID?

Find your game thread or create a new one and see its web address (URL).
Then identify the number marked yellow here:

The number appearing in your URL is your game-ID.

Again: In case you resume a game you have started in the old forum, you need to overwrite the old ID with the newly identified one:

Further details:

“Login” and “Password” of course are your forum username and forum password.

Also don’t forget to have “Attach save game to summary” checked:

Be sure that your Java 8 is up to date when playing 1.9: https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Note that for versions higher than 2.0 TripleA automatically installs an up-to date Java Version into the TripleA-directory.
So you don’t need to care.

In case you run into issues, please create a new topic about it.

@barnee said in How does chat work?:

I hit space for a paragraph break and the msg has already paper airplaned out. : )

For a paragraph break hit “Shift + Enter”.
This will start a new line/paragraph instead of immediately send out the text when only hitting “Enter”.

@SGT-Pitbull said in Help Turn order?:

Im actually feeling pretty stupid here, since I have been in to this game since 2003. Please cut me some slack.
Is the turn order as printed in the 2nd edition global rulebook “Italy/anzac” or did it change?

Neither the turn order nor anything else has changed from the 2nd ed. rulebooks. The rulebooks (and official FAQ) to be found on the AH rules page represent the latest status.

@Ivelity Welcome to the forum.

Just use the “Battleship & cruiser bombardment”-step of the Amphibious Assault-sequence as described in the rulebook, page 15.

During Combat Move Phase move the loaded transport together with the Battleship into the seazone you plan to unload from. As there is no sea battle you may use the Battleship to bombard the territory.

The latest stable is 1.9.0.0.13066

@surfer said in Can US upgrade Japanese Factory after capture:

Nope. You can only upgrade factories on territories that you originally own/start with.

Actually a power can only upgrade on territories originally controlled by that power.
That does not necessarily include territories a power starts with.
For example Japan starts with Manchuria, that is originally controlled by China.

@kwaspek104

I have checked your account over there (based on the profile image visible here) and your account is fine. You have logged in successfully using Chrome 102 and after that the updated Chrome 103.

Posting there works the same way as posting here. I read that you miss the “New Topic” button in the categories you want to post in. Now what I recommend to do is as follows:

• Log out of the forum in case you are still logged in.
• Perform a browser refresh.
• Log in again.
• Perform another browser refresh.
• Go to the “Bug Report” category and look for the “New Topic” button.

In case it is still not there please report back.

Now concerning your bug mentioned in your first topic.
What happened after you hit the button “Report to TripleA” shown at the bottom of the message? Please add this information to your posting. Maybe this has been already covered before.

Also please see

Good luck

You could check out 1940_global xml files or Napoleonic Empires FFA to see how it works there, or maybe ask your question here, in order to reach out to other people familiar with map making:
