    No, you'll get wrestlers up until the early-90s but even then they become a little sparse. I am always working on future workers though so you can expect many to be added in any future updates.

     

    To add wrestlers, you can either create them yourself in the editor by heading to the editor, going to "Workers" via the dropdown box and clicking "Add New Item" before filling in all the information. Or, alternatively, import workers from other databases by heading to the editor, going to "Workers" via the dropdown box, clicking "Import Items", choosing the modification of your choice via the dropdown box and choosing everyone you'd like to import. Please be aware though, you'd have to add the new workers pictures to the database and you also won't have movesets, relationships, chemistry, relationships etcetera without also adding/importing these.

    Hi mammoth is there a mod you can recommend that has a similar approach to rating future workers that would blend well?

    Why isn't blood a thing in TEW?

    What if it worked similar to how scripted vs unscripted matches work? Where there are certain wrestlers who want to bleed in every big match regardless of what promotion they're in, and if you don't let them they get annoyed. If you let them the match gets a VERY small bonus.

     

    It could be an attribute "bloodthirsty" or can be added as a knock on effect of having deathmatch attribute.

     

    So obviously if you're running a PG Sports Ent product bleeding could turn off your fans (similar to how crazy bumps do), so you wont ever use the note. However when you book certain hardcore minded wrestlers in big matches in your promotion they ask you to add the 'get colour' note.

     

    If you add it you get a small penalty to your match rating, but keep your Terry Funk/Jon Moxley-esque wrestlers satiated. If you don't add it the match rating doesn't get a penalty or anything, but your worker gets a small morale ding.

     

    This would help simulate hardcore/deathmatch workers not being able to work in PG products for too many years, before needing to do some hardcore stuff.

     

    This also gives another reason for players to not sign up workers that really don't match their sports entertainment product and pushing them too far.

     

    I like the idea of it being an attribute. Not sure what the effects would be, but it could impact some storylines/feuds and I think you are correct that it should be a negative for some products.

    I really appreciate the thought of this feature, and I certainly didn't have anything against it when it was first announced, but functionally I think it's kind of a waste.

     

    I would rather see a data preview come up of whatever data element I am highlighting on the left. Right now if I even just want to see if I want to edit something I have to click in, and then click out of every member of any file I;m looking at. Example if I'm in the companies section and I just want to see the company start date I have to click in and click out. I think having a summary or preview of each element would seriously reduce clicks.

     

    We all have text editors, and it's actually easier for me to have Notepad or excel open on the side. My $0.02

    In 2016 in order to get work to more workers I would create a bunch of local promotions with generic sounding names (ex: Rural Manitoba Wrestling) to supplement the independent scene.

     

    With the enhanced independent scene in 2020, is there any reason to continue this practice?

     

    I'm guessing the answer is no, but the next question is aside from player controlled promotions and development territories, is there any reason to populate the world with smaller feds or should we leave more workers exposed for the indies?

     

    I guess I'm trying to figure out how these were intended or designed to work.

    <p>A little bit of Necromancy here as i got so busy I never got a chance to chime in on my own debate. For some strange reason I suddenly I have time again <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>

    My preferences:</p><p> </p><p>

    Historical Real World</p><p>

    The original Death of the Territories is still the gold standard for me as it has a great sweet spot where you have several viable promotions active and TONS of hall of fame mega stars active for dream matches. The mod was complete enough that there weren't any obvious omissions but at the same time cut off so no one truly irrelevant was omitted.</p><p> </p><p>

    There have been some truly valiant attempts at 1980 and 1970 mods that got me super excited, but needed a bit more work, imoho to flesh out the worlds. Still fun mods so props to the creators!</p><p> </p><p>

    There have been great mods released for the 80s, 90s, etc... but by then it's basically always about WCW vs WWF so my interest level wanes.</p><p> </p><p>

    A 1963 mod taking place after the WWWF exits the NWA would probably be my dream mod to play.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

    Historical Fictional</p><p>

    Given the choice I tend to prefer fictional, all things being equal, but most fictional mods have the "Bright" effect for me. They do things that defy historicity so you basically have to pretend that this is a world where things like World War 2, segregation, the cold war, etc... never happened. The Cornellverse is one of the worse offenders in this regard btw... I just can't buy into a world where Pro Wrestling originated in Japan in the 1930s... like Chewabacca IT DON'T MAKE SENSE.</p><p> </p><p>

    So for me to enjoy a historical mod, even fictional, the broad strokes of RW history must be followed whereas the specific promotions, workers, etc... are fictional. I know I am in the minority who care about this, not trying to say enjoying these mods are badwrongfun at all. I have all the respect in the world for all mod creators.</p><p> </p><p>

    The effverse is probably my favorite of this type of mod (the 1930s start) as it is so open it leaves the evolution of the world to the player.</p><p> </p><p>

    Sci-Fi/Post apocalypse/ Fantasy</p><p>

    A great mod in one of these genres would rock my world. Part of the problem is that TEW is tied very much to our world (minus the calendar) so you couldn't for instance have offworld regions, or alien cultures.</p><p> </p><p>

    Here are some mods that would be amazing to me:</p><p> </p><p>

    Champions of the Galaxy</p><p>

    <a href="http://filsingergames.com/champions-of-the-galaxy/" rel="external nofollow">http://filsingergames.com/champions-of-the-galaxy/</a></p><p>

    A mod based on the classic sci-fi card game would be amazing. I love the idea of a far future world where wrestling is bigger than ever.</p><p> </p><p>

    Mutant League Wrestling</p><p>

    A mod based on the Mutant League universe in a post apocalyptic world of mutants, monsters and aliens could be very cool. I imagine a new NWA type territory system but every promoter is a disreputable scumbag constantly undercutting his neighbours and trying to steal their territory.</p><p> </p><p>

    The Clone Wars (Or WrestleWorld)</p><p>

    This is one I've been wanting to do myself for 10+ years but never get around to it. It's essentially WOTI with a scifi twist.</p><p> </p><p>

    In the not too distant future (30ish years from now) pro wrestling has been banned due to it being too dangerous. Enter the replicants. Flesh and blood recreations of the human form that can be owned and are not subject to the same laws as humans. Wrestling comes back with Replicant versions of wrestlings past superstars based on available footage and information. Feds license the likeness of past workers and use them to amuse the masses.</p><p> </p><p>

    Think Blade Runner meets Westworld meets WrestleMania. The best part of this one is that TEW has all the features to support the concept. If anyone ever wants to tackle this I have a few notes and ideas I can share as to how the world and workers would work (including ideas on how "licensing" would work, and versioning workers over time).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

    So there you go, that's what i look for in mods.</p>

I'm sure someone will take up the challenge.</p>

    I've never been a big fan of the Cornellverse. Nothing against Adam or the world he's built but from the get-go it never appealed to me.

     

    I've tried all kinds of mods, real world and fantasy, some I've adored, others less so.

     

    I'm curious as to what people look for in a mod with the hopes of getting and sharing ideas with the community.

     

    So, without referencing any current mods, what gets you interested?

    Real world vs fictional?

    Current day vs historical?

    Graphical look?

    Types of characters?

    How much realism?

    How much fantasy?

     

    Or just describe your hypothetical "perfect" mod.

     

    I'll post mine in a bit.

    Honestly I just want the old pushes to available as tags to organize my roster. I'm fine with the game using fan perception to evaluate the results of my booking.

     

    Example I want to be able to set Terry Gibbs as a jobber so that I can easily find him when I need someone to lose on TV. If I have Gibbs lose every week then my push of the guy will likely match the fans perception. If for so.e reason I have Gibbs beat Hulk Hogan clean every week maybe they won't see him the same way...

    The legacy feature is for passing on masks or gimmicks, not generating children - so even if they have a blood relation, a 30 year old generating an 18 year old successor doesn't pose any age related issues as there's no implication that they're parent and offspring, they could just as easily be siblings, cousins, uncle and nephew, etc.

     

    Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
