Promotion Size Change

[MaxxHexx]

Ever since the patches I have been confused when sizes change in promotions. Most notably Tiny-Small. Please help. Thanks.

found this earlier Originally Posted by Alec_Burkhardt Getting back to the original post, based on tinkering around with the Editor, here's what I got: Popularity Requirements for Promotion Levels: {prior to patch 1.3} Local - default. Small - over 10% in one region. Regional - over 35% {30%} in one region. Cult - over 53% {45%} in two or more regions. National - over 71% {65%} in 75% of the regions in the home area, and over 35% {30%} in all of them. International - National at home, plus over 53% {40%} in 4 or more foreign regions. Global - National at home, plus over 65% {60%} in at least 5 foreign regions. The Editor doesn't give decimals, so the actual change might occur at say 10.1 for the move to Small. Or it might be at 10.9. Also, for International & Global, there's no requirement at all that the foreign regions be distributed. So you can be Global with popularity in just the USA & Canada if the numbers are there. **the changes are at .1**

Does anyone know what it is after the patches?

[mystic]

unless another patch other than 1.3 changed the requirements, they are listed above in post 2

There is a 1.4 temp. I am at 10.4 and still local. If I can get to Small this month the added sponsorship bonus would keep me out of bankruptcy. Other wise I'm toast...

Although I'd have to check to be sure, I believe the local->small change is now at 15.1.

Going by Letter grades, Cult you can be B+ at home and C+ everywhere else in your country, the change hits at B- for those other areas IIRC.

[QUOTE=derek_b;224364]Although I'd have to check to be sure, I believe the local->small change is now at 15.1.[/QUOTE] It's not 15. I made the jump as MAW in 2 shows, starting out at 10% popularity. My guess would be 11 or 12.

Local to small will be at 11.1% - all the new size changes happen where a visible grade changes - and that is at 11.0 - 11.1 (F to F+)

Small - over 11% in one region. Regional - over 29% {30%} in one region. Cult - over 47% {45%} in two or more regions. National - over 65% {65%} in 75% of the regions in the home area, and over 35% {30%} in all of them. Is that right?

So, only small and regional have changed? Would you happen to know why? Am I the only one who hates that it's so hard to be a small promotion. I mean, it's easier to pull off a pleasing show, but it's harder to make money. But once you've got TV shows and PPVs the money pours in, but it's harder to pull off a pleasing show. Kinda balances out, I know, but since I'm attracted to the underdogs I think the little people need a break and upping the size requirements just seems like kicking 'em when they're down.

[Rob4590]

They all changed - the numbers in the brackets are the numbers pre v1.3 eg Cult went from 45% in 2 regions to 53% in 2 regions

National definitely takes more than what's listed there. Unless turning off other countries somehow distorts things.

[QUOTE=Moe Hunter;224590]National definitely takes more than what's listed there. Unless turning off other countries somehow distorts things.[/QUOTE] National is >71% (B-) in 75% of the regions of the country, with the remaining regions being >35% (D-)
