  1. Very cool concept! I've enjoyed the first two weeks of results, and voted for this 3rd weeks card from the deck. I'll keep posted to this! Always fun trying new ideas to freshen up how you play. Thanks for sharing.

They make up the bulk of the people folder included in 1.04's download so it is advised to download & merge the people folder for the Thunderverse graphics. It's a mix of dan's own renders, renders from the Rest of the World Expansion from the early days of Thunder and the Cutting Room Floor renders that were released with Diamond.

  3. <p>Here goes another try after bankrupting a Canadian promotion after 2019.</p><p> </p><p> Starting with the promotion, based in the Mid-South with Harry Chadwick as the owner ($60 ppa, set to personality usage and events only). Using the preset product "Old School Rasslin'" with some modifications on my highest levels to give leeway to changes down the line.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="CdrYnHj.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CdrYnHj.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <img alt="LdsgZNT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LdsgZNT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Here is the worker and his base stats after a slight randomized at the start of the game to his skills. Otherwise, set his talents as a booker/owner to default; as in my last game I kept getting dinged for poor gimmicks after spending my points on negotiations and motivating.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="vpRBdRV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/vpRBdRV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <img alt="nE9sHUg.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nE9sHUg.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
  4. <p>Great job! Love these renders and work overall. Random question, but may I ask what specs you're running FPW on? I have an older pc and may have to wait for an upgrade or the PS4 version.</p><p> </p><p> Maybe the CornellVerse will make it to WWE 2k18 for me first.</p>
  5. <p>Great job Fragz! Always enjoy adding alternate C-Verse logos, etc. into games. </p><p> </p><p> Cheers! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
  6. Great work with all of these belts! The company logos look excellent as well. Keep up the hard work! Much appreciated.
  7. <p>Pretty disappointment in the support the top promotion in Canada gets in the C-Verse round here <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="holydogg" data-cite="holydogg" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41364" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Did you manage to get NOTPW profitable?<p> </p><p> After 10 months, never got a profit every month.</p><p> At least the loss are getting thinner because SWF and USPW are overpaying some of my stars like Tim Westibrook, Cameron Vessey or Alexander Robinson <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I would suggest looking into cutting backstage costs via the rules section of management. Specifically paying for hotels and transport every show, if I recall correctly there is a balance between cutting those two and keeping a few others to remain with positive roster rule happiness. This won't dramatically change your finances but you'll see a lower per-show cost analysis before starting your show (after you've booked all the segments) under analysis in the booking section (just below start the show).</p><p> </p><p> I haven't gotten well into a NOTBPW game since roughly TEW '05 but I have given a new save a chance. Using Jeremy Stone as the owner to avoid getting sacked within a year or two for falling to Cult. Luckily all of North America is in a drought (Economy and Industry) instead of just Canada as I have gotten in the past year.</p><p> </p><p> Building to DeColt beating Westybrook at the first PPV in Jan. rather then try and keep it on Westybrook in sake of not having a short title reign. I tried that once before and it failed, leaving my shows weak on-top with low show ratings overall.</p><p> </p><p> Other then building Vessey to a main eventer over the next year, I am trying to figure out if I should kept DeColt as a heel until the last of the Stone boys (still here) retires. As the industry is in the dumps, not having a figurehead during this time as compared to when the industry is hotter later might work better. Might just wait until Vessey is ready to be the top-heel, with Bloodstone getting older he is the future of the company. Tempted to make a run at Greg Gauge before USPW or SWF do but wouldn't mind letting him do his thing on Japanese tours.</p><p> </p><p> Planning to do a 16-team Henson Memorial tournament, starting with week one's television in March and concluding at the PPV. Using the 5 teams already set in the company, Stone & Shooter (continuation of the storyline w/ The Can-Am Blondes), DeColt & Bloodstone, and a handful of thrown together teams who are being tested in house-shows over the next two months. Thinking about bringing in a team from CGC, 4C and ACPW each to job in the 1st round. Ideally an 8-team tournament on the PPV is probably the easiest, however I like the idea of giving shine early to the teams who have to lose in the 2nd round and semi-finals. As well as getting the two teams in the finals on a 3 match win streak. </p><p> </p><p> As I mentioned to begin my post, kinda surprised and dissapointed NOTBPW doesn't even have PPV/Event logos. Going to keep searching the mods forum.</p>
  8. Anyone know if there is a rule of thumb in terms of how many refs and road agents to carry for each fed size? I'm specifically wondering if the cult fed I'm running will have trouble carrying only one person at each role, opposed to the two I have been for the first three months of the created promotion. In an attempt to not only hire a better announcer and offset any penalties I incur during a match above C+, but also attempt to have a month in the green with low economy, low industry and one PPV event a month to start the game.
  9. Makes sense! No use spending the money for a decade then! Cheers.
  10. Go to your roster screen, click on the person in questions contract (e.x. PPA, $820 per show) and you will find a more detailed view of the workers contract, and the option to fire said worker at the bottom. Just wanted to double check here rather then copy my save and sim a few years. If I open a new dojo when new workers aren't set to generate until 2026 (using the C-Verse) then I wouldn't have any graduates right? Or am I mistake for the last game, can't remember if people who were meant to debut in the area chosen will randomly come out of my dojo.
  11. Going to try this for the first time in 2016 later today. Just wondering what the default rules for the Challenge are in terms of injury setting, assuming it's just left at the normal setting? I always set it and relationships a bit higher in my personal games but willing to see how it goes if most people don't tweak the default setting.
  12. Sorry if I missed it, but don't think this question ever got answered pages ago and had no luck browsing through the handbook. Does anyone know what the somewhat subjective product note means. "One attractive female per every 8 men." What is classified as "attractive" in the game? 60? Kinda hard to guess.

The narratives look correct on my end.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Either the headline or story weren't filled in thus making them not appear in-game if I'm correct. Could have misunderstood. I only noticed when 7 years in the first sim I mentioned, there were various companies outside of the US that had opened but never run a show for years. After setting up the narratives in this second game it seems to have done the trick in terms of having companies run shows within the 1st year (or months) of opening.</p>
  14. One other note, I noticed the Narratives aren't filled out fully in a few cases and some promotions/regions were sitting inactive for years. Just filled them in, excluding the Joshi promotion in the late 20's as the men's promotion starts a year or so earlier and gives their industry a boost. I assume that was the intention and maybe a conversion problem. Just want to make sure so I'm playing a sim how you intended the world to be, and later trying some of my own tweaks.
  15. Fixed all the 0 region broadcasters before starting up my 1st watcher save with the 1920 data. Started with high worker generation, high relationships, extreme injuries, and high death. 7 years in now, I'll post some stuff every decade or so.
