I'm a bit confused about alliance titles. Do you control the title all the time? Ric Flair is the NWA champion, but he has been loaned to another company. Could he lose the title there?

 

Yes he can lose the title at AI shows, but I believe everyone who is loaned gets creative control and can refuse to drop the title to people below him, however alliance titles seem to have really long reigns.

 

Usually I see 20-ish defences so, it'll take a while to lose the title anyways.

<p>If you cap your maximum size, can you still grow popularity?</p><p> </p><p>

I ask because I'm at risk of getting into a national battle I couldn't possibly win but I think my best shot is building up some cushioning so I could take a few losses.</p>

Once you take of the limit though, you'll rise to the level you should be. So if you have national level popularity, you'll grow to national level.</p>

I.e. if you reach the pop requirements, regardless of your actual size, you will be entered into the battle. So my small company, as soon as it hit F+ went into the regional battle, and would have done so even had I elected to remain at local.</p>

Hey, I want to have an angle where Marat Khoklov and his manager (Grace Harper) come out, and Harper talks up how she helped him invent a new finisher that will make it a certainty that he beats my promotion's champ. Do I just book Marat Khoklov in the angle, since he gets a boost from having Harper as his manager, or do I book both of them in the angle?

I'd book him on-screen for overness as "the guy just standing there looking impressive while the manager speaks". Like Lesnar & Heyman. :p

Wasn't sure if this'd count as a small question or merit its own thread, but decided to err on the side of caution.

 

I've picked up TEW16 today, being a life long wrestling fan and an avid WMMA player, but the differences in games are pretty huge.

 

I've started an up to date mod, real world mod with GFW and I'm just looking for a bit of advice on what you guys and girls do in the first few days of a new game?

I know, I was going to book him using menace, but do I only book him (since he gets a boost from her managing), or do I book him & Harper in the angle? What would convey to the game engine that Harper is talking and he is there?

Sorry for the double post everyone.

 

Anyways, I usually look at my roster and hire any free agents that I think would benefit my company, then I look over my schedule to make/adjust events. It would also be a good idea to check your creative meeting screen, to see the Next Big Things list. The wrestlers on that list have the potential to carry your company, so you should book them extremely strong.

If Harper is good on entertainment skills, I would book Khoklov on Menace and Harper on Entertainment.

Well, first thing I'd do is run a yearlong watcher game to see how/if the mod works. Lot of issues reported with just converted mods (broadcasting stuff, for example) and it would suck to get a year into a save only to find out that most of the new features don't work (or don't work right).

 

After the save is started, I spend the first day checking the roster, cutting dead weight and extending all the people I want to keep. I also shortlist everyone I'm even remotely interested in (Filter -> Female -> Shortlist All). I don't start hiring until Wednesday or Thursday of Week 1 so the AI promotions can do their normal roster purges (happens all the time). I'm also figuring out my plans for title lineages (and new titles, if I see fit). Also, I plan out my first 10 or so storylines (not all started at once, of course). I change the day of all monthly/annual events to Sunday Week 4 too.

 

I've been following the same script for so long that it's pretty much second nature at this point.

Yeah, I do that one too. I'm playing my current WCW Mod with them set as is, and it's weird as heck!
