How to download TripleA maps?
Just after starting TripleA, click "Download Maps" button and copy the following link below and paste it into the text field:
Downloads.sourceforge.net
Then click "List Games". And now you can browse and install various game types and maps.
A couple of them are particularly recommended:
World War II
World At War
The Rising Sun
World War II Revised
World War II v3
World War II v4
Quality maps
Twilight Imperium (twilight-imperium)
Red Sun Over China (Red_Sun_Over_China)
Battle of Aventurica
Greyhawk
Screenshots:
After choosing the desired map, buttons "Install Game" and then "Choose Game..." in the main menu screen are all that separate you from trying out these (and many others) maps. ;-)
the Downloads.sourceforge.net link does NOT work neither in-game or by web browser
Tried it both on Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows XP, and worked without any problems. What version of TripleA do you have? "Windows (installer) with Java"?
I downloaded Triple A Windows installer without java because I already have the Java platform installed, the downloads.sourceforge.net file does not work for me either.
Hmmm, maybe that's the problem, or an unknown one with XML. I have Java platform installed, but downloaded & installed the TripleA version with Java bundled with it (just to be sure).
Baineblade, Downloads.sourceforge.net site doesn't display in a web browser for you either?

Ok it's working for me now in-game, maybe it was some connection issue.
There's also a longer tutorial how to do that, here:
Triplea.sourceforge.net
Or you can download maps manually:
Sourceforge.net
thanks, getting them manually works as well
Now some maps are available through "Mods" page of the game:
