    Giving Bonus(es) To Low Morale Worker?

    in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 General Discussions

    Posted

    The pre-game editor is the best place to show how morale works. From memory there are 4 levels of positive and negatve response that roughly balance each other out. When an incident is generated that affects morale, it will spend X number of weeks at the highest level, then drop down to X number of weeks at the next level and so on until all of the weeks specified have expired. So a worker may go...

     

    16 weeks furious

    10 weeks very unhappy

    8 weeks unhappy

    28 weeks irritated

    = 62 weeks total upset by an inident

     

    Obviously that would be a fairly bad one and the weeks will vary depending on the incident, the worker personality and some random factors.... they also don't necessarily follow the shape given in the example either... it could be a major incident that gives 50/50/50/50 where they will be upset for literally years, or it could be a minor thing like being left off a show which would look more like 0/0/0/6.

     

    Morale always looks for the biggest incidents (positive and negative) when deciding where a worker falls on the scale and all incidents will tick down at the same time, so minor incidents will disappear quickly even if major ones are still around.

     

    Having more major good ones can make someone happy despite having major bad ones and bribes are definitel the easiest way to do that. Paying people more than they usually earn is always solid, with bigger bribes generating longer memories of good things happening even if there is no way in game to see that for sure. Other things like good booking, hiring friends, punishing enemies, various locker room meddlings/pranks during shows, booking decisions, company successes and the likes can all help out too but rarely to quite the same degree. :)

     

    I hope that helps. :)

     

    This sounds to me as though in relation to the original question One bribe of $10,000 would have a much more lasting impact than Ten bribes of $1000 (assuming the impact of that larger bribe is to generate a stronger initial good impact).

    What's going on in your game?

    Struggling with match ratings

    EDIT: and yes matches do have an expected length depending on the placement on the card of the workers involved. No one wants to see an hour long Heath Slater vs Primo Colon match. But Bryan vs Kingston, needs at least 20 minutes to help build the match into an all out epic people expect.

     

    I don't think this is quite accurate for TEW16. The position of the worker on the card (or even their push) isn't relevant like it was in TEW13.

    What do the fans say when they moan about you?

    My two cents are that show rating shouldn't sell tickets since it's obviously impossible to tell how good a show is until it's over.

     

    Presumably show rating would sell tickets for future shows though, as people will have come away with an impression of whether they would go again...

     

    However, I would say that this is already catered for in terms of how the show rating impacts on company popularity in the region, wouldn't you?

    <p>I'm not clear from the Development post of the Scheduling, but it seems like there is a significant weakness here in that when AI companies grow (or shrink) they won't be able to adjust their schedule accordingly if there isn't a regular check on the company size.</p><p> </p><p>

    Say CZCW rises to National, how does the AI adjust its schedule to incorporate a(dditional) TV show(s)?</p><p> </p><p>

    Or for a smaller company that has no TV to start, how does the AI know to set a schedule that includes a TV slot as well as a weekly or monthly show when the company grows large enough to warrant one?</p>

    I made quite a big decision today that I kinda started to regret. I had John Cena tap out, although it was against Samoa Joe in a Coquina Clutch so technically it doesn't need to be a tap out, he could have just passed out. And this happened on Raw, which is what makes me kinda want to take it back because this is to me almost like breaking The Undertaker's streak... it needs to be special. So how should I handle this? Should I just make it so he didn't actually tap out and bring it up later in a full storyline? Because on top of all of this, it was just a #1 Contender's match in which I wanted to make Joe a legitimate threat to the champion which is why this happened.

     

    I like the "illegal choke" approach, like Kurt Angle insisted upon when he tapped to Tazz.
