Is there a way of finding out what importance I need to be in other countries to reach a certain size. At the moment if I need to be cult in a different country, I'm not sure exactly what pop that means I need to be as I'm based in the US.

I forgot, but if I hire somebody for less than six appearances I can rehire them later, right?

Can AI promotions start a child company, or take a bankrupt existing company as a development fed? Also is there a hit for losing your figurehead, beyond just losing the bonuses?

Isn't losing your bonuses a hit? You lose merchandising money, you lose their Star Quality for National Battles and you lose the added ticket sales/attendance that they provide.

[Gungner]

Sorry if this has been asked before.

 

Does anyone know (or care to tell me) how many TV shows can be allocated to a company depending on size?

 

For example, im playing as TNA and just out of interest i tried to negotiate for a third show but was told no.

 

Thank you for your help

 

In previous versions it was something like:

Global - 4

International - 3

National and Cult - 2

Anything below - 1

Unless pre-set in the editor before starting the save

 

Don't know if it has changed.

Never Mind,Figured it out

[Millsybeast]

This might sound dumb, but what's the quickest way to get peoples popularity up asap? In Real World WWE I'm finding it hard to get anyones pop over 78-80 with only WWE Champ Cena, Lesnar and Heel Reigns in the 80's.

[Millsybeast]

Oh also, what's the best way to get peoples mic and charisma skills up? I put Adam Cole as not rated in angles with the likes of Cena, Ambrose and Wyatt every week for example but he hasn't once improved Is there something I'm doing wrong, like am i supposed to also put him on the mic too?

Have him rated on Entertainment skills, and they will go up eventually. Especially if he's in there with someone better. It might be a long process though, which is why I prefer to do that sort of thing on my B-shows, where ratings really doesn't matter.</p>

<p>Quite favorable or favorable</p><p> </p><p>

I think somebody else asking something similar but which is better: Favorable or quite favorable?</p><p>

I looked up the word "quite" and I seems to have (quite) a lot of different meanings. It can be translated to "very" or to "somewhat", which is a huge difference imo.</p>

[TerranWarrior]

How do you extend the contract for a TV show for a developmental company?
