<p>TagTeams</p><p> </p><p>

Im a massive tag team fan, and like to try and make it part of my fed when running it. my question is there anywhere in TEW16 that you can see Tag teams, like you can singles? obviously there the power 500 etc for singles but is there a way to see an equal for tags and if not is there a way to search for teams? so you know who both members are etc</p>

I have my alliance, and I have my alliance titles, so now I can decide who holds them, and who is pushed for them..

I've seen some road agent notes (for example "Kayfabe injury finish" which was what I was looking for when this question came to me) sometimes disappear from the menu. What is it that decides if a given road agent note is available or not? Is it the match type, wrestlers skills, or what?

Because developmental companies are their own separate entity, they book their own shows and have their own champions. You set up their schedule, can create tag teams for them, can create titles for them, but they will create their own titles if there isn't enough for them to work with.

 

Alliance titles are like the old school NWA World title, not promotion specific titles. They're not meant to be the primary title for a promotion, they're a Championship that can be loaned out to the companies that are in the Alliance. You don't have complete control of the Alliance titles, any member of the Alliance can get the Championship (and the champion is automatically loaned, too) on loan for any of their shows, and they can book them. So if one of your roster members is Champion, he can be loaned out by the AI to defend the title on any other company's show.

 

How are ya, yeh I get that, but my alliance, just has the four promotions, two have working agreements, so I can't sign their workers to written deals, and the other is my development company.. I don't mind my alliance titles being fought for in their feds, in fact I want them to be, as I will borrow the workers I want from them in alliance loans, and push them anyway, but its my development fed that is creating their own titles, and I don't seem to have any say on who they put them on, or why.. It just seems to not make much sense to me, I am working round it now, I have to call up their entire roster, and book my show on the same night as them, but it seems like it is working against my objectives..

[Newman]

That's because you don't own the Alliance, if you created it you are just the founding member so you are not solely responsible for what titles are created/retired or champions and when they are defended on other rosters in the alliance. My alliance has 6 other federations in it, it is hardly ever my own roster members that own the title without making things very unrealistic. You can't choose who the AI picks as the winner of an alliance match that isn't on your show.

 

How are ya, yeh I get that, but my development fed should not do it should it, it seems the only way I can get my development fed title to be fought for on my show, is through alliance titles, but their own titles, I can't seem to use them..

[AJOutlaw]

Sorry if this has been asked already, but.

 

Is there any way to stop the game from inducting people into the company Hall of Fame without your consent? Every now and again it inducts someone that I don't want to be in. I can remove them, but I would like to just shut it off entirely so I can do it all at one time in the year (and choose my own inductees!).

Child Promotions are ran independently from you, the AI will create titles to fit their needs if you don't make promotion specific championships for them to book.

 

You can control things like the schedule, set up tag teams for them to book, and the product they use. They book their own shows, you have zero control over how the AI books your child promotions.

There is no way to book developmental championships on your main roster. The way developmental companys work in TEW is closer to OVW than NXT.

[redhilleagle]

<p>I have a quick question regarding the auto booker which I'd like to use for my B show.</p><p>

I've run two shows in this way so far on one occasion, I told it to use 16 workers, on the other, 20. But it only generated about 3 matches and didn't used anywhere near the amount of workers I wanted it too. (Mainly my mid-card - Enhancements talents). Can I change this in any way to make it use more workers? I am Cult sized and my B show is 1 hour long.</p>

[Doogshere]

Minimum requirements for getting a broadcasting deal? I just hit cult and no one wants me still.
