Cverse XL: RELEASE


Recommended Posts

There was a news article titled "Big Trouble In Little P-Girls", which sounds like an adult film.

 

That's odd since that message usually means the promotion fell in size and, well, I don't want to spoil anything but there is no size lower than P-Girls starts at. :p

 

By the way, the Beach Babes restriction might need tweaking. Six saves so far and aside from the ridiculous owner goals (you cannot hire any workers classed as cruiserweights or japanese juniors), NOTBPW has signed away the only native Aussie on the roster. Every single time. It's doable but I'm not sure the method required to do so is what you intended.

 

On the bright side, I'll have a ton of bank when I can finally do it. :)

 

EDIT: Game on!

ZEN Andora's flavor text appears to be missing in this one. Also asked this in the small questions thread and didn't get an anwser, but If I set up a ZEN Parent Company alliance, and set the To Be Opened Zen companies to it, would they properly be assigned at their launch?

 

EDIT: Tested that, and sadly it throws up critical errors.

 

Yeah you cant do it apparently which is annoying. I just liked the idea of Zen as a world-spanning empire.

 

I'll pop the Andorra text in later. It's just about being a tax-free country with no airport stuff.

 

God, that's gonna be HARD.

 

Got a question though. The Database settings are part of the mod (i.e. set intentionally), correct? Only asking because I usually don't play with Restricted Areas on at all (if you're unemployed for a long period and someone offers you a job in another area, you'd be a fool to turn it down).

 

EDIT: Also, is the mod intended for players to just be bookers or is taking over as owner allowed (except in the noted cases like Dunton Hall)? I'm worried about Carl Batch giving me ridiculous owner goals.

 

Good to have you on board Remi. Beach Babes are a nightmare with so few Aussie women. I really wanted the company in but it's always been a bit of a fudge. I'd recommend playing them with all international restrictions off.

 

For the challenges I'd play almost all of them with either owner goals off or as the owner. No point having TOO many restrictions.

 

As you spotted some of the challenges are easy or about "how much" or "how soon". the theory with those is to make it a competition rather than just a solo achievement. Let us know how you get on!

Well at least with ZEN you can assign them to the alliance after the fact with data editing I think. If that works, do you have a reccomendation for which type of alliance they should be?

 

I have no more insight than anyone else but I'd set them as a public conglomerate with all trading options on

A couple of pics that I love - unfortunately I dont know who madeall of them (although some were me) so I didnt want to include them in the mod

This is the best pic I have seen when it comes to alts outside of ones like Blackhat Bailey.

 

That picture will end up in my games for someone but maybe more for Ricky Dale Johnson or Texas Pete.

I always dump in some other logos into the main picture folder, and then start my own fed... but one of my first steps is to ALWAYS get a working agreement with Big Top Wrestling in order to get Psycho The Bear. I mean, there's nothing as old school as a wrestling BEAR.

 

I'm glad there's finally a pic! THanks much!

I have imported all the British companies from this mod to make the UK scene more lively for my NWF dynasty and from what i see they are doing very well. In the 1st regional battle for the month of June in Southern England, i came last after Guildford-6 and Camden Underground.

I cant take credit Im afraid. I nicked it from the fantastic TEW10 mod "That 70s mod".

 

Have you got any results out of him? In most testing he languishes in the lower card.

Great. That was basically the idea of the mod. CU are a fun company to play but might give even your Eddie-based NWF a run in the short term

Well, I got a news story about Psycho the Bear doing a radio interview. Saying he was carrying BTW. I wondered why the TEWdotcom staff was listening to radio directed at bears. Are some of their writers bears themselves?

I only use him on cash trade for a single appearance at a time. (Kinda like how the wrestling bears were used in reality back in the day.) So I can't really give ya any long-term use results. I do know he ends up being Enhancement Talent on auto-push, so using him in the Main Event for one show is gonna be tricky. :p

I’m pleased to announce that finally the Cverse XL mod is released and available for download.

 

For those of you who haven’t seen this yet it’s simply an extended look at the Cverse including a number of smaller promotions that would probably be termed as minor indies.

 

For the likes of Rich Eisen this doesn’t make much difference. Who cares about companies in Seattle, Alice Springs, Blackpool or Faliraki when jack Brice’s contract is up and there’s a giant PPV to book?

 

However for the bottom rung of the world these companies are all-important. Any job is a job and any stage is a stage.

 

The point of this is for the massed ranks of average, one-dimensional and limited workers to actually get the chance to show themselves off and improve. The Minor Annoyance has a job. Karen Bilous has a job. The Hillbillies are big names in their new job!

 

You can play any game you normally could do in the Cverse and simply see how it helps/hinders you when bottom-feeder talent is employed and improving. Is a RTG game harder in this world or easier?

 

The real way it’s intended to be played though is as a challenge with one of the additional companies. Each one has a goal and a set of playing rules to battle against. Some of them are very easy and some are very hard but I’d love to hear how you get on.

 

Jaded has done a fantastic job of helping with the mod and solving as many flaws as possible so far but it’s clearly not going to be perfect. Whether companies at this level should be that polished is a matter of debate but of you do find any serious errors or problems please let me know.

 

Everyone I’ve asked about graphics has been great with allowing me to use a few alts and pics but if by some chance some of your work has made it in without permission please let me know and I’ll immediately remove it.

 

There are some gimmicks, companies and characters that could potentially be seen as distasteful. All stereotypes, clichés and caricatures are intended to amuse rather than offend.

 

I hope anyone who plays this mod has as much fun (and frustration) as I did putting it together.

 

Here’s the upload link. Let me know if it’s not playing nice
