@Navalland OK, so that is your background layer.

In brief:
On other layers apply an image of a greyscale streetmap to the territory outlines and create some cloud-like effect on the seazone-layer. The territory layer should have a high level of transparency, you need to experiment here. When you are ready merge the territory layer and the seazone layer to one png-file, preserving transparency there. This will be your relief-image. Of course you can apply whatever visual effect you want there.

I found this tutorial for creating “clouds”:
https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/17972-make-real-clouds/

Maybe something similar exists for GIMP, too.

For further details please try to reach out to active map-makers. I can only give you this quite superficial information.

@Navalland
Have you already created a working basetile-image?

@Navalland

In that case you need to be familiar with image editing software as I mentioned above.

Which software are you using for image editing? There should be tutorials on the web on how to work with layers, transparency, etc.
This is more about image editing rather than TripleA, then.

@Navalland

What exactly do you mean by “make good relief tiles”?
You make tiles by breaking the image into parts (tiles).

Or are you talking about a tutorial on how to create/paint a relief-image itself, before breaking it into tiles?

(For map-making in general, this is a good source:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/blob/master/docs/map-making/map-and-map-skin-making.md
Just in case you don’t know this link.)

@creeping-deth87

The rulebooks explicitly say:
"Place new facilities in any eligible territory that you have controlled since the start of your turn. "

So you are of course correct, you are not allowed to place a new IC in a just converted friendly neutral territory.

This is one of the aspects that TripleA handles incorrectly when dealing with “neutrals”.

So the correct handling of the rule must be player enforced.

I move this topic to the TripleA Support category.

@LennardF Ah ok, but this added information doesn’t change anything, unfortunately. The pro-axis neutral doesn’t change its status until the end of the NCM-phase. In other words: During non combat movement the territory still is neutral.

Rulebook, page 9:
“However, a power that is at war may move
land units into (but not through) a friendly neutral as a
noncombat move (see “Noncombat Move,” page 21). This
moves the territory out of its neutral status at the end of the
Noncombat Move phase.”

@LennardF I fail to see a bug here. It is rather a question of valid landing spaces. It is only the bomber attacking Algeria that can reach a valid landing space (Libya). Remember you are not allowed to fly over neutral territories.

@AndrewAAGamer

Please try to reproduce the issue with the current pre-release version of TripleA:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases

In case the issue occurs in the latest version, too, there is nothing we can do on your side, so please submit a bug report:
