<p>I got some doubt about the national War. By my point of view is quite impossible to win if you are a rising fed.</p><p> </p><p>

Let me explain:</p><p> </p><p>

If you are a Cult fed and you try to sign most popular wrestlers to prepare yourself, they simply ignore you as "you are not big enough".</p><p> </p><p>

If you rise and none really popular wrestler are unemployed or in the last month you can't do anything more: you will loose. </p><p> </p><p>

After one month your popularity decrease and the other 5 month of national battle are nothing more than useless period.</p><p> </p><p>

In my game in Mexico in C-verse against SOTBW I can't win and I don't know what to do. I try to block my grow for one year hoping to see my pop (and my wrestler pop) but no way: my National battle score is growing no more than 100 point and actually I need other 1,000 to draw!! </p><p>

My main eventer star power not bad; Huracan i.e. got 90, Gino Montero more than 80 (as Soda de la Uva) they are quite popular (from 80 to 86).</p><p> </p><p>

Any ideas??</p>

[Kingster]

<p>You need to build up stars on your own. Sign young wrestlers with high star quality and push them up the card. Depending on your product, make sure they are able to put on good matches, as well. If your product favours popularity over performance, you don't have to worry about it that much.</p><p> </p><p>

Winning national battles takes time. Depending on how far behind you are, it may take years before you are able to compete with your rivals. You have to be patient.</p>

They also have more than one show a week so even if you hurt their popularity you aren't going to hurt it much... if you are going to beat them, you have to copy them and then be BETTER.</p><p> </p><p> Step one is to limit yourself to Cult until the right time. In this case, the right time is when one of the guys contributing to their national battle score has their contract expiring. You hit National and then you can compete with them in that battle, and if you win you are not only boosting your score but hurting their's too. You can then also start bidding on any of those pesky free agents who might not have wanted to sign for you previously, potentially giving you more ammo to work with either through having stars of being able to make some of your own guys into stars.</p><p> </p><p> You're probably still going to be losing at this point though, so you need to copy what WWF and WCW did... a second A show. Having two A shows should give you the chance to gain enough popularity so that even if you do lose the national battle you should stay at national. You could go for a brand split (I wouldn't) but the focus here is building up stars to compete with SOTBPW's stars. Charismatic workers can dominate opponents in short matches for rapid popularity gains, so if you have people with at least B-/72 charisma and high enough star quality, don't waste time. Get them over. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png"></p><p> </p><p> Hopefully, you also aren't at war with them... that doubles the effects of losing a battle and makes the fight even harder. You may not have any choice in the matter, but if possible try to avoid being at war. If not possible... then you at least have access to dirty tricks, which can be risky but could potentially hurt them depending on what you are willing to risk.</p><p> </p><p> From there, you basically just need to keep fighting SOTBPW for every contract... even if you don't win, you will be pushing their costs up which can hurt them in the long term, though they are likely so rich that you would be the first to feel the effects. But keeping bidding them up for people you don't really want and then cherry pick those you do want and things should go well for you.</p><p> </p><p> But for serious... this is such a hard battle to win that it might take a few false starts. Even if you can only steal one big star from them when you hit national naad the drop... you have made progress. Six months later you can do it again. It's a long, hard battle that requires luck but you can do it. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png"></p>

<p>Hey guys,</p><p> </p><p>

Is there something special in St. Patrick's, Christmas, Halloween and other holydays?</p><p> </p><p>

I remember in EWR there was special angles in these days, but I haven't figured out if there is it in here or not.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm on St. Patrick's Day and I haven't found anything so special</p>

Does the pre-show match affect the overall show rating?

<p>How do you know when a worker has gotten off of drugs/alcohol/pain killers?</p><p> </p><p>

I sent a worker to rehab, and on his first show back he shows up wasted. I don't want to fire him but I don't want to waste my time sending him to rehab again.</p><p> </p><p>

Also just send another kid to rehab, so now I'm worried this isn't going to work for him either. These are lower card guys so it's not a big deal, but I also have Scott Hall on the roster...</p>

I feel like I should know this, but is there a way to randomize the lengths of everyone's contracts?

[stiffkick80]

Is there any downside to sending my not-so-good-in-the-ring midcarders to developmental and 'borrowing' them every show? Would they still get the full benefit of being in Developmental stat-wise?

[Dave E Mac]

I should know this. But for a storyline to continue via an angle how long does that have to be in length? I'm thinking over 5 minutes. But also thinking I may have dreamt that figure.

You can see if they have become reformed by using the in game editor and looking under lifestyle. I usually do this on a workers first day back from rehab. If they haven't reformed, typically their slider for that particular issue has dropped by 2% slightly reducing the chance of a repeat. I'm not sure what factors in to how likely a worker is to become reformed.</p>

It has to be a major angle with at least two workers in it who are not aligned with each other.

[Sharkn20]

<p>Running my own small company pushing to get to Regional ASAP to start having TV Shows, is it recommended to be an Alliance?? My Average Events Cards are in the C- at present, more than respectable....</p><p> </p><p>

In one side I am thinking to join so my Wrestlers have more opportunities to develop / gain popularity somewhere else... In the other hand I don't want them to get borrowed and missing my Events...</p><p> </p><p>

Thoughts??</p>

[Mr_Hendrix]

My broadcaster is blocking every negotiation I try to have with another broadcaster, even if my current broadcaster doesn't have coverage in that region.

 

The message I get is: "Your broadcaster, Time Warner, have blocked this move as this broadcaster has clashing coverage with one under their media umbrella."

 

I've read this message 100x and still can't figure out what it means. Am I stuck with Time Warner until my deal with them is done?

Are you owned by Time Warner?

 

Is Time Warner the Media Group or PPV broadcaster?

 

If PPV broadcaster, what's their coverage?

 

What broadcaster are you trying to negotiate with and what's their coverage?

[crackerjack]

I think the only way would be to go through everybody and assign their contract to random as there is not a mass edit option.

 

Farts. Oh well. Thanks man.

No, I'm owned by Ted Turner.

 

Time Warner is a media group. They do my PPV(Time Warner) and TV(TBS, TNT).

 

They have no TV coverage in Japan, so I'm trying to negotiate with TV Asahi for some TV coverage in Japan, but Time Warner is blocking it. TV Asahi only has coverage in Japan. So I'm not seeing the conflict of interest here.

 

It was built into the mod, but Time Warner is allowing me to do the same thing in Mexico and Canada, where they don't have any TV coverage for Nitro.

Whats it mean when a worker rejects you stating they feel it wouldnt be a good career move?

[RavenoftheBlack]

<p>Hello! I've played TEW for the last three editions, but I'm new to these forums.</p><p> </p><p>

I just have a quick question. Is there any way in TEW 2016 to see who a manager manages in a company you don't work for? One of my favorite things to do in the game is watch what the AI companies are doing, and I'd like to get the full picture, if possible.</p>

[Captain Kayfabe]

Has anyone effectively booked a large company (preferably a C-Verse game) similar to 1980's WWF? What I mean by that, is just squash matches against openers/enhancement and promos during TV, while keeping the "superstars" apart until PPV's? I assume that it's possible, as I have scored pretty good match grades using main eventers or upper mids vs those lower card guys once they have decent popularity and momentum built up.

[BrokenCycle]

<p>The player handbook says that workers gain popularity in angles more than three minutes. </p><p> </p><p>

Does that mean 3+ minutes or 4+ minutes?</p>
