I don't know the product so I can't say what the match danger should be. I can say that if its only a "slight" letdown its likely only a few points and if you are getting match grades of E- and E you don't need to worry at this time. (the grades before the markdown were likely no better than E and E+)</p>

It only cost 25K to buy both combined (you only pay the amount they are in debt and they were something like -7K and -18K, right now assuming they'd both sell, I could snatch up SAISHO at -14K and UEW at -5K).<p> </p><p> Also looking at your post reminds me of one last thing to consider. It's not as easy as saying that being a letter grade above increases popularity because losing the battle costs you popularity so depending on what place you are in you could lose your gain or even have a net loss despite a good show (can't recall for sure, but I want to say that being second place was -0.2, 3rd -0.4, 4th was -0.6 etc). I run weeklies and sometimes a monthly event and made a point when my production was low to run at least 2-3 really good shows in my home region per month with the idea being that I'd make enough gains, I'd never have a net loss in pop over the month and that I'd get better show grades than going to other regions, increasing my worker popularity and the chances of surpassing someone in the battles, which I did a few times. But if you only run one show a month, you could very easily lose pop slowly, a show every third week might give you enough months with extra shows to negate that and more frequent is better if you can afford it. </p><p> </p><p> Also of note for those capping their size at small to save money, don't. When I hit regional, attendance basically doubled. I make a killing on home shows now (helps that ind/eco rose as high as 96/100 in the home region. I make 30-50K/show at home, and only lose 5-10 K per month when abroad - I have areas in the 20s to 30s in every game area). That change in attendance is what allowed my to finally upgrade from 1.03 as it made up for losing 60K in monthly sponsorship from the upgrade.</p><p> </p><p> One last thing I fought with was this ....I was in a spot where I had matched my top rival in everything but live event, which required me 3K/show to match (I don't think there was an upgrade fee, but could be wrong). Given my schedule that usually means 15K/month and I'm considering moving to a 6 show format which would be 18K/month then. What I debated instead was leaving that at the smallest and instead increasing my music from minor licensed to the next level. This would cost 5K initially, but then only an additional 7.5K/month. So overall it would cost less and while it wouldn't make as nice of a boost to my show grades, it would hurt ALL of my rivals as I'd be alone at the top. I could also hurt their finances if they chose to match. In a few months my spillover should put me in a battle CZCW so I may revisit this to see which is best. I also think smarter AI management of this might help companies like MAW and ACPW survive as they went well beyond their means in my game.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Good points all.</p><p> </p><p> Some things to point out though.</p><p> </p><p> 1) my promotion is set up in the Great Lakes region so there are no competitors in the region. PSW and NYCW haven't gotten much spillover due to the poor wrestling industry for the US (often no better than D) and economy (usually in the E area). This has slowed them from even trying to expand. So when I did get to small the only "competition" I had was over production values.</p><p> </p><p> 2) I agree that the AI is way too aggressive with production values. GSW basically ran themselves out of business partly by having the best production values in the US for a small company. When I reached small I was beneath them on every element because they were paying probably an extra $4000 per month to have professional level shows. I considered trying to match them, but my sponsor money was only about $4200 when the forecast was $7,000. I was just barely breaking even so there was no way I'd put more money into production. They finally went under just a few days back so it will be interesting at my next show since I will be the top or tied for the top in production values now.</p><p> </p><p> 3) I very much agree on the "don't cap your size to save money." I've never quite understood that. Yes, costs can jump and at each size increase your minimum roster size increases, but I usually have 4-6 extra workers anyways and run longer than normal shows, so I am already experiencing a lot of the costs anyways. The benefits of the size increase do matter quite a bit. I agree the regional to cult jump can be nasty, but deliberating not increasing in size is not the best way to handle the situation.</p><p> </p><p> But things like this is what makes the game more interesting and challenging. Its part of why I run performance=popularity or popularity is more important promotions. The ones that grade primarily on performance are boring in my opinion. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Well, 2018 is in for my first RTG game. (non-dynasty, partly to test out how the game engine changed.) My promotion rose to small early in 2018, but then the economy in the US dropped down to E and my sponsor money was far below the expectations. As in I would see in the finances that the expected sponsor money was about $7,200 and the actual was just $4,466. My promotion ended up losing money in June, September and November (never more than $205 in one month.) so I never raised my production values as much as I wanted. I also had to let a couple of wrestlers go as they proved to be locker room problems immediately after I hired them as I had to get to 16 active wrestlers. Did add a tag title although it has barely C prestige. As for shows, my best shows in 2018 were D+ and all 3 were before I rose to small. The penalty for the poor production values hurt my show ratings just a little. My user character does continue to improve. He has moved to the upper midcard and got to win more than he lost in 2018. Top show rating was a D+ though. He's at E popularity in my home region. Improvements have been Rumble skills total of 26 points Technical - 17 point Flying - 22 points safety - 17 points Psych = 17 points safety - +21 points Consistency - +19 points Selling - +12 points stamina - +15 points microphone - +15 points charisma - +15 points Acting - +18 points Roll for 2018 was 50 - so I had to create a sibling. I figured on a 1 it would be a girl 2-3 a guy (used the random roll site.), rolled a 1 so I created Tricia Randall. My company did win Most Improved company for 2018. (we won something!) No wrestlers in the power 500. (darn.) Now to see if I can continue the slow march towards regional. I have managed to continue to grow my popularity in my home region at 0.5% per months. I'd try to make it faster, but the lousy economy has prevented me from feeling save running 2 shows in a month. Especially as GSW, CWWF and a couple other companies (PWMAX if I remember correctly) all went under in 2018

There are backstage events that can sometimes help change the personality of a worker, but an older one like Jack Bruce is unlikely to improve enough to ever be a great person to have. My best offering would be to surround him with lots of positive influences in the hopes that their energy keeps him from ruining the morale of the locker room.

Your workers still gain popularity and match grades still improve, though my overall show grade seemed limited to D-/D with everything at the lowest. Also note, that some of them have levels where it is a monthly and not per show fee, so depending on the number of shows you run, that may actually be cheaper.<p> </p><p> also for the person commenting on MAW and ACPW going under, I bought them out in my game. At least while under v1.03, you were best off buying them out on the day of your next show and immediately going to the area of their popularity. It starts dropping rapidly from the day you buy them if you don't visit. Not sure if it's been addressed in the patches. I do wish the game gave you more of a warning that companies were on the verge of going under so that you could swoop in more easily, maybe even incite a bidding war. </p><p> </p><p> I thought that the companies going under was addressed in the patches and was wondering what patch you are using for this game. </p><p> </p><p> Knowing that the buyout exists will change my strategy in future games as I'll stay away from the touring strategy I'm currently using since I can buy the popularity, particularly since sponsorship has decreased over the updates, I think it'd be more profitable to stay in one main area now during the early phases.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> They (MAW and ACPW) went under in a RTG game, so there was no money in the accounts to perform a buyout. Otherwise I might have considered it.</p><p> </p><p> I do agree with the rest of the advice here. Don't worry about having to get your production values up to the level of the other groups immediately. Remember that if your show is about 2 grades above your popularity your promotion still sees the increase, so at F+ (when you first hit small), anything above an E is a decent show. If you can put on D- shows with the penalty you are just fine as your wrestlers don't suffer the penalty even if the promotion does. Eventually you'll have enough money coming in to afford to make permanent changes.</p><p> </p><p> And do consider what costs more. IIRC the broadcast and music values are comparatively inexpensive to raise 1-2 levels, with largely flat charges, but the one for ticket taking and such will increase show costs $1000 per show with just a single increase, making it probably the last one you want to put money into.</p>

(don't ask. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ) Now to see if setting up the second one can actually make me more productive in regards to some things.</p>

I don't have pictures of my current run since I started this mostly to learn about all the changes that have occurred to the game engine since TEW 2010 (I own 2013, but never played it much.) My game just reached Jan 2018 End of 2016 - roll of 22, +5 to chain wrestling End of 2017 - roll of 25, +5 to flash My UC is currently being pushed as an upper midcard face. The main event is full, but he's gaining momentum and might be able to break into the main event in the future. The promotion is doing very well considering I made a mistake and used the Great Lakes as my home area, (no competition, but low importance so at 12.3% popularity I'm still stuck as a local sized promotion.) I am now running 10 wrestlers, 1 manager, 1 referee and my owner as announcer (and costing me more than any 2 other workers) and still making $1,600 or so a month. I do have Logan Wolvebaine on the roster, as well as Xavi. For some reason both were let go from the promotions they worked for. 2018 will be interesting and fun. I'm actually considering going to 3 shows every 2 months to try to push my popularity up and get to small by July. (my "bad" shows are often still D- grades, and I've even pulled 1 D+ rating out of somewhere.)

<p>Well, I got a surprise in my first long run. I'm kind of "practicing" a RTG (I play is seriously, but no dynasty so its also somewhat playful.)</p><p> </p><p> First I've had to fire 2 wrestlers. Lucas Danger for drugs and Brett Massive for attitude.</p><p> </p><p> but my real big surprise was seeing MAW fold in October 2017. I'll admit I don't watch the other promotions closely, but I was a bit surprised they were the first.</p><p> </p><p> Edit: Turned out MAW wasn't the only one to go under. ACPW didn't make it to the end of October 2017 either. I'll admit the economy and wrestling industry have been tough in the US, but it looks like its a world wide problem in this game. (The economy never gets above C- and the Wrestling Industry stalls out around D before dropping again.)</p>

To the best of my knowledge you can't end or start a storyline in the middle of running an event. The decisions about storylines have to be made before the bookings are complete and workers can only be major in one storyline per show. So you'd have to end the storylines before the show and set up the new ones at the same time.
