TakerNGN74 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 In my MSWA game (Formally FCW-C Verse) I have a little under $5,000,000 and once I am over $5,000,000 I want to create a venue. The problem is I am not sure how to do it so I don't want to do it until I know how. I haven't changed the FCW default product since becoming renaming the company to MSWA (I tried and Puerto Rican Power wouldn't let me) So my question is to anyone familiar with FCW how would you go about creating an arena that would cater to their product. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. 1. If you aren't National yet, wait until you have over 7 million. You need 7 million to sign written contracts (no house shows) at Cult. 2. Go to "Investments" and then "Venue" (or whatever it is). Basically, you can set everything to Huge or Lots or whatever with no change in cost (which I'd suggest). The big (and only) thing is the size of the venue. Given that it's a lot cheaper to rent. I'd suggest going for a value that isn't in the regular data; 20,000 seems commonly missed. Or you could make it a 40k or so and use it all the time. Again, it will be cheaper than the 30ks and possibly the 10ks. 3. Change the product via the in-game editor . Well, if you're okay with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. There's nothing to really know. You pick the size you want, make all the product categories and languages 'huge' and 'lots' and you're done. There's no point in NOT maxing the languages and product types since 1) they don't cost extra and 2) they give you maximum flexibility for the entire life of the venue.

Well, if you're okay with that... Bolded that because that is blatantly wrong. You save a TON of money long-term buy making your own venue. It is roughly about 60% the cost of renting the same size venue. Also, when judging size, remember that the costs go in chunks so all 5,000-9,999 cost the same to use and so on. Basically, it depends on what you want to use your venue for. Is it for your TV show or monthly event? If your product allows you to make a Hotbed arena (Huge Traditional), shoot for about about 140% of what your NORMAL projected attendance is and round up or down to the nearest 5,000 (again, there's no cost difference for renting a 13,000 or 15,000 seat arena just the added construction cost). If you can't make a Hotbed arena, then lower it by 15%. Also, keep in mind that if it's for your TV show, you can run every single show there without the repetitive area hit which helps too. You'll make back what you put into a properly (size-appropriate) constructed arena very quickly at anything over 5,000 seats to get you to the important $7 million written threshold. Which does beg the question, how are you making enough money at Cult to hit $5 million? By that point with my arena(s) constructed, I'm at National. So, great job making a ton of money at Cult.

TakerNGN74 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Thanks for the help guys and in response to what smartman said I have a little under $5,000,000 an I am regional. I can't seem to break into Cult I am sure I will its just going to take a while before I can do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidenhoek Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Bolded that because that is blatantly wrong. So...it's not cheaper to rent the venue that you create...which is what both of us were saying. >_> POINT IS: At regional? Yeah, smartman's right; build a place somewhat bigger than what you can currently handle. It'd be great if it was also in a gap (like I said, between 10k and 30k there tends to not be a venue of that size). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartman Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Okay, I misunderstood you Eidenhoek (I'm guessing that's not the first time you've been told that;)). Yes, it's about 60% of the cost of renting a regular venue. Now, it makes perfect sense that you have a ton of money since you're at the gold mine known as Regional. Are you getting killed in Regional battles? What is lacking in pushing you up to Cult? Also, since you'll get slaughtered money-wise when you do hit Cult, keep saving money. Most players need at least $2-3 million to make it through Cult to National. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er, I thought every custom venue was a hotbed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartman Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Well, if you put everything Huge, it ought to be. Hmmm...finally looked in the editor, and there's just a tickbox for hotbed. So obviously, you are right. I just always make my arenas to fit my product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
