TripleA 1.6.1.4 Mac OS dmg
Apr 16, 2012 Full Version 0 commentsMac OS dmg installer for the latest version of TripleA.
TripleA is a free turn based strategy game and board game, similar to Risk, or Axis & Allies. Known for its multiplayer on the online lobby, it also allows Play-By-Email and network (LAN) play, as well as single player vs AI or hotseat. It has over 100 games and maps that can be downloaded from the user community. It is open source, needing only Java 5 to run (can run on Windows, Mac, Linux, etc). Supports savegames, encrypted dice gen, low luck, and other options. Recreate World War 2 with the Axis pushing through to Moscow and Japan devouring the Pacific, or recreate Napoleon's march across Europe, or Rome defeating the Carthaginian Empire, or even Sauron conquering Middle Earth, or Zombies taking over America! If you have ever played a game where you push little plastic/virtual pieces around, roll dice, conquer the lands of your enemy, & produce new pieces to conquer with, you will be able to jump right into TripleA!

I am proud to present another 4 months of effort into improving and expanding TripleA, by releasing to you the newest stable version 1.6.1.4
Besides a load of small bug fixes, I have been working on some major new features:
1. Support for new and totally different Map Skins.
This includes a skin I made for Global 1940 that looks just like ABattlemap!
2. A new Map Creator is being included with TripleA.
The map maker now has a full tutorial for how to make a Map Skin, along with improved instructions for each step of the way.
3. Added a new "Tab" to the right side of the screen, called Objectives Tab.
The objectives tab will display all National Objectives and other condition based things. You will have to update your maps to see the feature, and not all maps have the text file that displays this tab (though it is easy to make the text file for it, so bug the map maker if your favorite map doesn't have it).
4. New keyboard shortcuts:
Press "I" to show a popup containing info on whatever unit or territory your mouse is currently hovering over.
Press "N" during combat-move or non-combat-move phases to cycle to the next territory containing units that have movement left (you should never have to forget about that Russian submarine now!).
Press "WASD" or the Arrow Keys, to move around the map.
5. Added support for "UPnP" (universal plug and play) on Routers.
This means that if your router supports UPNP, triplea will automatically do port forwarding for you (online games).
Should make it a lot easier to host games live online.
6. Support for custom Sounds, and tons of new Sounds added!
Sounds can now be customized per map, so that you can have horses galloping for blitzing a territory in Napoleonic Empires, and tank movements for blitzing a territory in any ww2 game.
A ton more "sound locations" added, meaning more places for sounds to be played. And a lot more sounds added to the engine (like sounds for air battles, etc).
7. Lots more, see a full list of the changes here: Tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com
I'm pretty excited about this update, especially the new sounds.

First picture shows 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 skins for this to work. They are downloaded the same way as new maps are. (See this link for a video of how to download a map: Desura.com )
The second picture attached below shows off 3 things:
1. The new Map Skin for ABattleMap style Axis and Allies Global 1940 2nd Edition online on TripleA.
2. The new Objectives tab (visible on the right side) showing you which objectives are currently met, etc.
3. The new "Info" popup. My mouse was over the Infantry in Somaliland, so the popup is showing info about infantry, and about Somaliland.
enjoy!

Very Axis and Allies.
Like it because it brings it to the pc, and easy multiplayer, but the UI takes a bit of time to learn.
Once you know it a little, it is much easier use, and quite sensible. It's just that learning time.

Has this game withered up and died among many War Simulations? :(
No, I'm still working on it. Lots of new stuff for 1.7 coming up, I just don't have time to blog about it or w/e.
I think we normally have a release once per 2-6 months. And I aim to have a new stable once per year.
I installed this a couple of months ago but couldn't get any sound and it was sooo laggy. I was on UE 3.4 at the time though.
On the latest Linux Mint now so may give it another go.
1.6.1.2 had sound turned off by default. Now with 1.6.1.4 we have sound turned on by default (because we added a lot more, nicer, sounds, and felt it was finally good enough to be turned on).
I also use Linux Mint, and with the exception of a few small quirks with the windows not always opening to be fullscreen, I have not encountered any problems. Let me know how it goes.
Just played it, 10/10 thanks thoroughly enjoyed that. Forgot how difficult it was though, got my butt kicked.
Great game, well done!
Wish there was a proper WWII scenario though, starting in 1939 with Russia & America & Japan joining later like in real life
It is so annoying that i can't make peace nor declare war in this game.. in any map.
How can i do that?
Some maps have politics, some maps do not. Politics is a relatively new feature, so it is only available on some maps.
In addition, most maps follow very specific rules that do not have politics in them.
For example, the Classic, Revised, Anniversary, and Spring 1942 editions do not have any politics in their official rulebooks, so of course our recreation of them will not have politics either. (These games take place in 1941 or 1942, so it is just the Axis vs. the Allies).
Global 1940 has politics in the rulebook, so there is politics in this game.
Maps that I know have politics are:
Global 1940
Pacific 1940
Europe 1940
Total World War
Napoleonic Empires FFA (free for all) 8 player and 5 player versions
We have a new tournament running: The Battle of the Ages!
$40 to the grand winner, and $5 to almost all participants. (Prizes are sponsored by the Historical Board Gaming web store)
Sign up here: Axisandallies.org
(It is completely free to sign up and participate. The prizes are donations.)
We were waiting for a more stable release before we brought it to Desura. Anyway, everything should be updated now that 1.6.1.2 is out.
This will be updated and fixed next week, sorry for the delay...
