How many new workers get generated with the frequency settings? I set it to very low for a month and didn’t see any new workers pop up. Are there other criteria involved with how it works?

Cheers

If I recall correctly, it depends to some extent how full the game world is, and can differ from region to region. And they always generate at the start of a new month, I believe. So, setting it to very low over one month isn't likely to see much happen in most databases, I would suspect. I might be mistaken, though.

I have a quick question about owner goals:

If the goal is not to hire any wrestlers over 40, would you fail this if you hired someone who is over 40 in a non-wrestling role? The guy in question is a wrestler and a commentator but I only want him as a commentator, but I'm thinking I'll still fail, even if the contract stipulates he can't wrestle.

If you give him an exclusively out of ring contract he should be okay, I believe.

What exactly is a "generic venue" for?
Let's say I'm booking WrestleMania III, and 163,000 are expected. The largest venue can hold 93,000. If I click generic venue, does the attendance get closer to the 163,000?

Yes, I'm pretty sure. The generic venues are made to fit the crowd.

Can someone explain the difference between Active Wrestler, Semi Active Wrestler, and Non Wrestler status to me? Especially as it relates to the roles section, where it can be set to Usually, Sometimes, Never.

As far as I understand it:

Active Wrestlers would be those people who are regularly doing in-ring work as their primary role, Wrestler should be set to "Usually", other roles might be "Sometimes", but probably not.

Semi-active Wrestlers are those people who still get in the ring when necessary, but are generally not considered "full-time" wrestlers, usually veterans winding down their careers and the like. If they are involved in other parts of the show, they should have those roles. I'd probably go with "Occasional Wrestler" set to "Usually' for most of them, though in some cases, if they appear more in other roles like as a color commentator or personality, I'd set those to Usually instead, with Occasional Wrestler at Sometimes.

Non-Wrestlers are people who are not trained in-ring performers, and whose primary role is not going to be to perform in matches. So, announcers, interviewers, referees, and so forth. This doesn't mean that they can't take bumps or be put into "matches".

I think the broader categories mostly affect contract stuff (offering a contract to a non-wrestler or retired wrestler usually defaults to "Never Involve Ring Work", I think), while the roles are related to the pushes and so forth, but I don't know for sure.

How do you think they gain spillover into other places. They've become so popular people from out of town are now driving to come to their shows. This is how you gain popularity in that region. If you gain popularity in a region because of a show - which you do every show you gain a percentage of your popularity gain in your spillover regions.

Pennsylvania is in the Tri-State regions so you're popularity is 40% of your tri-state popularity in New England, The Mid Atlantic and The Great Lakes, and 20% in Ontario and Quebec. There for it means people hear about your shows in those places. They go do your shows, they like your shows, and therfor you count as being a part of the regional battle when you would reach the level for doing so there.

To add to this, Ohio Resident: "I can either go to a show in Detroit or a show in Pittsburgh, they're both about the same distance, but I hear more good things about the PA show. I'll go to that one."

So, I remember seeing a post a long time ago explaining how the auto-push distributes push levels in rough percentages of the roster, but I can't for the life of me remember where or by whom. Does anyone remember those percentages (and/or know whether those still apply, as I believe that was for a previous version)?

Also, there are times when I book an angle, and it doesn't advance the storyline. Something like announcing a match between two participants, or something like that.

I believe to advance a storyline, there need to be at least two participants who have major roles "on screen", so match announcements with both people off screen don't count as storyline segments. Also, I believe that there the segments have to be a certain degree above the current heat level to raise it. And I think if the heat doesn't change at all for a certain number of shows it will start decaying.

Unless there is specifically a penalty regarding selling that's related to match length that I'm unaware of, length should only factor in as it does with road agent notes, match aims, and the other things it works with in any given match, I think.

I am currently about a year into my real world TNA mod (with the most recent patch) and I was just checking out my HOF and I clicked the "Eligible Candidates" button and had no one. This didn't shock me, but I began looking around this website and google and couldn't seem to find an answer. I am running a yearly HOF Event where I induct someone into my HOF. Basically I will need someone to be eligible each year. I know you can just put anyone you want and at first I will do that (already added Jerry Lynn in the first year for example. He only had "3 x-title" reigns but due to his contributions to the x-division I figured it was appropriate.) I can do this for a few more years but eventually I want people to start earning it. So my question(s) is/are: What are the requirements or credentials needed for a worker to get into a promotions HOF? (Also, does size of the company affect needed requirements?). Also, If you already have a tag team inducted (Like Bully Ray and Brother Devon are in the TNA HOF), can I later add just Bully Ray as an individual if say he becomes "eligible"? Thank you in advance.</div></blockquote> I did a lot of messing around with hall of fame requirements for my personal database. I'm fairly sure that the requirements don't change based on size, as it's always company specific. You can indeed induct individuals into the hall of fame as individuals in as both individuals and part of a tag team separately. As to specific requirements, as I recall 4 or 5 Main Event level championships or twice as many (8-10) midcard/floating titles will make a candidate eligible. For tag teams, I think it's just 4 or 5 titles held is enough (I may be wrong, but I think each tag title held also counts towards individual titles held as well) . There's also the "headlining" of major shows (i.e. being in the main event annual shows), which grants a few percentage points towards completion. I don't think headlining gets you more than 15 or 20% of the way there, though (at 25 main events, which is the maximum you can add in the editor, I'm not sure if the game counts beyond that, or if that's the hard cap). And finally, being a figurehead for a consecutive number of years. 5+ years as figurehead guarantees induction. Of course, various combinations of these things will yield different results. For non-wrestlers, it's pretty much 1 for 1. Referee officiates 100 matches, Broadcasters call 100 matches, they are "key" players. Owners and bookers are based on who was the owner/booker when the company rose to Cult-size. I hope that helps.

This is more of an opinion question. Currently playing as TCW with data from the 2013 game imported into TEW 2016. I'm really liking the way TCW is progressing so far. An issue has come up involving Rocky Golden - his contract is expiring and the owner Tommy Cornell won't even let me come close to the offers other promotions are making to him. There is a huge bidding war for him going on and I'm not even in the running. Frankly the offers seem ludicrous despite the fact that he has 93 popularity in the US.

My only option is to go with it and let him leave or cheat and try to edit data to make him stay. I'll probably just let him go but I was curious - do you think someone like Golden is worth 66,000 a month + 10% bonus per event in a promotion that emphasizes wrestling over popularity? It seems outlandish but at the same time I'm on a roll right now and hate the idea of losing someone so popular.

Also, have you guys discovered any good ways to stop guys from jumping ship so easily? I lost Eddie Peak earlier in the year and the offers were equally ridiculous, but he was a negative influence and not as popular so I just went with it. Thanks for any advice.

Honestly, 2013 Golden is worth much more to SWF and USPW than TCW. Golden is probably one of your top National Battle assets though (unless you've stacked your roster with a bunch of A-list talent), so that's bad news. Also, I wouldn't say 66,000 a month plus the 10% bonus is necessarily "easily". I mean, that's a pretty sweet deal, and difficult to pass up out of loyalty alone.

But when do I get wrestler X back? It seems like these are the possibilities: <ol style="list-style-type:decimal;"><li>Wrestler X comes back to ROH after he makes 6 appearances in PCW </li><li>Wrestler X comes back to ROH after wrestler Y makes 6 appearances in ROH </li><li>Wrestler X's contract is straight up owned by PCW now </li></ol></div></blockquote> Your worker still works for you while they are on loan. As long as your shows and the other promotion's shows don't conflict, there's no reason why they can't be booked on both shows in the same week/month/whatever.

No I'm looking to go back a few days in an existing game...Like I say I know in 2013 you could use the backup file to go back to the previous Sunday. I'm looking to do something more like that.

Yes, it's the game recovery option under the Load Game button. Select the save you want to roll back and hit Game Recovery.

Live. The goal is to book from episode one and go all the way to Wrestlemania. The problem I'm having is I need ideas on how to do this without necessarily creating two separate promotions or without dipping the quality of brands. Back in the EWR days, I split SmackDown and Raw into two promotions so I could just book SmackDown wrestlers and PPVs, but of course I also had to book enough for Big 4 PPVs, which meant I had to sign an entire promotion worth of workers instead of a small divided roster. I haven't bought TEW 2016 yet, so is there a system in place where I can book for a promotion, but only use one of their brands while AI books the other brand? I guess I could book both shows. One for my actual SmackDown! Live Diary and the Raw one just on its own so I can keep the shows moving forward. Any advice would be appreciated!</div></blockquote> There is an autobooker in TEW2016 that will let the AI book Raw for you, yes. It would probably be better for you to book both shows, as the AI doesn't always book in a sensical manner or to the product necessities, which can hurt the show grades. When I use the autobooker, I usually go over the card and make it conform to the product requirements, and tweak things I don't like.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting this, but how does one assign an alliance belt to a specific company while in-game? (It says this is possible when trying to assign a title to both a company and an alliance in the pre-game editor.)
