I did that with the UK recently and added only the 200 most popular first and last names for each of the parts of the United Kingdom. I'm enjoying having only the most commonly found names for the British fighters.<p> </p><p> I'm planning on doing it for every country in my mod eventually.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> There is no Canadian tag in the name editor, its listed as North America, yet according to Adam's post above, names tagged North America will only apply to the USA, cos Canadian will generate French names, even though it says North America. (There are other natio's tagged under Nth America, such as Tongan, but thats insignificant).</p><p> I too have done my own names, for every tag, from scratch. 9000+ I think in total. Thing is I've only done male names, cos I care not for womens fighting and I've deleted them to speed the game up. So I figured no one would care much for me to upload it in the mods section. I guess if people are interested, let me know.</p><p> I've even duplicated names according to what's most common. Example, I've got Smith listed many times under the anglosphere tags to slightly increase the likelihood of fighters named Smith. Multiples of Hernandez, Fernandez, etc in Hispanic tags, I've done it for all tags in a way that fits best and according to what is most common for each tag.</p><p> You can duplicate names by adding a space before the name and then saving, repetitively. But a word of warning, if you need to import duplicates into a database, it will come up as as error and you'll have to duplicate them again.</p>
  2. <p>Hello all,</p><p> </p><p> Wierd question I know... but is the game programmed to select French names for generated Canadian fighters? </p><p> CCC opened up in Canada early in my game and a whole heap of fighters generated, just about all with French names. This seems strange because according to the editor Canadian names stem from the 'North American' tag.</p>

  4. Hi, Just curious what determines whether a region runs local shows or not? The reason I ask is I've played a few games where TOP opens in Russia and a whole heap of Russian fighters based in Russia generate, but they all flock to Europe's local shows. No local shows in Russia. Same situation in Mexico when OMEGA open, but no local shows? Thanks
  5. Is there a screen that shows me how long fighters prep times are for a fight?

  7. Yes after recuperation. Although 4 months could result in more fighters getting injured in training and pulling out. I stick to 8-10 weeks in advance.
  8. Thanks. Yes thats my intention, to free up the load times a little. I've been playing a game with regens on but new fighters off and what ends up happening is too many fighters on the local scene end up with high pop cos of lack of competition. I'm thinking enable new fighters to avoid this but scrap the women as I dont pay much attention to that part of the gameworld anyway.
  9. I'm going to be starting a new game soon and I'm thinking of deleting the female companies and fighters. Would this work or would the game simply generate new companies to fill the void?
  10. This products improvement is significant and much needed. Heres hoping its correlated with regional trends to determine how easy/hard it is to succeed, much like reality.
  11. <p>Another year on in my created local company, ’97 mod. It’s now mid ’99. Tough guy Raymond Diaz is my figurehead, not because I simply wanted to click someone in there, but rather he literally is the man carrying the company and bringing in the dough. It felt right to make him a figurehead even though we’re only around mid-small. He started off as a nobody youngster, and now 30 shows (2.5 years) later he sits at C popularity. Last show I ran he pulled a B+ performance against an 8 years in decline Flapjack Flanagan, for a C+ main event.</p><p> </p><p> Since my last post, he has feuded with a not-that-atrocious Land Mass (he’s learnt a thing or two in CGC), a tear-the-house-down fued with Mighty Thor and most recently a brief one with the veteran Flapjack Flanagan, which will be his last main event contribution (also my UC).</p><p> </p><p> Now, Mighty Thor! With that Ernest ‘The Cat’ Miller lookalike render, so very bookable, and I did it with joy. Pretty much the same gimmick as The Cat, minus the crappy kickboxing shtick. Comes to the ring, calls everyone a chump, claims to be the greatest, tells Diaz and random people in the front row that he’ll whoop their ass. And then there’s the brawls. Him and Diaz absolutely lit it up from the moment he announced his arrival by attacking Diaz from behind out of the crowd. Yes, he’s a useless lump in the ring, but Diaz carried him comfortably (in a perf equel to pop company to boot). To my bemusement, Thor kept requesting unscripted angles when on the stick, only to flunk ‘em every single time! Such unabashed arrogance deserved a title win, so I actually had him go over Diaz in their second bout, after the first ended in a double dq and arena brawl. The following month a rematch was announced (3rd bout between them) under the stip that they can’t attack eachother before the match. That lasted about 5 min, when Diaz interrupted Thor’s promo and beat the tar out of him just as Thor was mentioning he wasn’t allowed to. He forfeited that night, but the following month they did have their bout and Diaz got the strap back for his 2nd reign now. And what did Thor do? He cracked it and walked out on us. I’m gonna miss you Mighty Thor, such a refreshing change from a backstage of nerds who express their disdain for one another by merely not shaking hands, with Jean Pierre Baptiste giving the girlies a tsk tsk. I should mention with the Diaz v Thor fued, we scored a B- show grade on two occasions!</p><p> </p><p> Next up for Diaz is Arsenal Anderson (Human Arsenal), who I’ve unleashed as a heel ultra technician, taking pleasure in putting opponents in complicated holds no one else knows. He’s earned it after firstly jobbing for a year, then getting a slow-push, then getting the better of Dario Shelton in a best of 5. He won’t win the strap though, and I’m stumped what to do with him next as I really don’t find him bookable at all. He used to be a Next Big Thing, but strangely not so now.</p><p> </p><p> Dario Shelton has become my no 1 ring worker. I got him operating as a mr company kind of good guy, cavalrying for other faces. I recently had him emerge as the surprise 3rd partner in a 3v3 on the side of the two Brits James (Jack) Giedroyc and Rolling Paul Lewis (Johnny Stones), who were fueding with Flapjack Flanagan & Friends (FF, John McClean and Dirty Frank) after they took Giedroyc’s passport and subsequently lost it, forcing him to stay put and not go to mexico. The faces won after McClean walked out on his colleagues, laughing his way out, deciding he’d had enough of doing the bidding of the other two. Now I can free him up as a cocky self-righteous character that can fued with anyone for any reason. Got a dodgy hairdo? He’ll let you know about it. Look out Skeeter Colquehan.</p><p> </p><p> Thinking about starting up either a tag or cruiserweight title. Also thinking about bringing in one of the best talkers, Womanizer Robbie Gordon, who’ll manage new to the gameworld T-Rex. </p><p> </p><p> With Shelton and Dirty Frank, I just wish they’d get ripped or something, to up the SQ, because as is I just can’t push them too hard. Even Dirty Frank, who is an ok worker now. He doesn’t want to step up to Heavyweight, which I’d like him to do in the hope he ups a few grades in SQ department. Yeah, he can talk, but he lacks the SQ to make him meaningful and popular.</p><p> </p><p> That’s pretty much where I’m at. Elsewhere, HGC is well on the way to toppling SWF, consistently producing better shows by a whole grade every time. They bounced back brilliantly after losing Sam Strong to injury retirement, getting 2 x DeColts, Sean McFly, Bruce the Giant, Mr Supreme and Christian Faith, after the racial comments wore off, plus others. In fact, Dave really aren’t that far from SWF either as far as show grades go.</p>
  12. does anyone know which traits or stats influence a worker's size increase? In other words, what determines whether their star quality goes up or they just become flabby?
  13. <p>I agree with the pro-Eisen calls. I can't just discard him and there have been times when he has developed significantly.</p><p> </p><p> Anyone else think that maybe in CVerse canon Eisen's world title reign has to do with SWF's fall from grace, from being top dog to battling it out with TCW and USPW? If you look at the title history, he doesnt regain the belt, nor does he have a Nth American title reign since that World title in '10. It would seem to suggest it wasnt successful and that maybe nepotism drove the fans away?</p><p> </p><p> Regardless, my lone attempt at a swf game this time around has him leading a midcard Supremacy stable consisting of him, Emma C, Bret Starr and Primus Allen. But, as I said, he's certainly relevant and no throw-away worker either.</p>

Thank you.</p>
