So is it like soft drugs are weed and hard drugs arelike heroin.

 

Bingo.

[DarK_RaideR]

Also, I would expect hard drug (ab)use to take a heavier toll on someone's performance than soft drugs.

[soluuloi]

So if I let two brawlers fight in a brawl type match, will the match get bonus rating?

<p>I'm at that time to renew broadcasters. </p><p>

Im with TNA atm, securing good ratings, and earning 500k+ a month (healthy balance of 6m)</p><p>

My growth hasn't been as quick as I would like in the US.</p><p>

Am i better of going for a commercial deal (very big - huge coverage) or free to air deal (medium - tiny coverage)</p><p>

Basically the question is does the coverage or the type of service have the most significance on growth in an area?</p>

Getting high levels of coverage won't matter if you are airing in the graveyard slot and still expected to get high show ratings just to keep the network happy. At the same time, being on a commercial network will earn you far more money than a free to air network would, while also giving you the chance to grow your own popularity and that of your workers far more quickly.</p><p> </p><p> So if I were you, I'd sign a relatively short TV deal with the larger company, but in a timeslot that you are confident you can always secure good enough show ratings for. If you make good progress there, you should see your ratings improve fairly quickly due to the increased level of popularity your workers will then have... at which point when re-negotiations come around you can then get a better time slot, safe in the knowledge that you can reach that target.</p><p> </p><p> Repeat until the WWE is toppled forever. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png"></p>

While I know there aren't direct comparisons in terms of RW to CV, I'm still wondering which promotion would be the PWG of the CVerse. I'm tempted to say CZCW due to location and product... But I'm not entirely sure.

 

If you were to try to put together a PWG-esque Roster, who would you include? Who are the Indy Darlings of the CVerse?

[RichWolf]

Is there a way to improve a wrestlers behaviour? I got a great new wrestler from the school I set up, figurehead-type great, but he is such an assh*le to everyone that almost the entire roster has a problem with him.

[DarK_RaideR]

At what range does a brawler is considered good as brawling? The best ones I have are about 50-60 at most.

 

Also, how do I choose right manager for my wrestlers? Should a manager handles more than one wrestler?

A wrestler's style is usually -but not always- indicative of their stats. You can expect brawlers to have a good brawling style, puro style workers to have a good puroresu rating, entertainers to have strong mic and camera skills and so forth. This adds (or counterbalances, depending on your point of view) the Fog of War. Other than that, a wrestler's style is only there to help the AI decide hirings and firings.

 

Not sure what the minimum brawling is to take advantage of a brawl based match, but I think it has to be at least in the C range (over 55-60 at least).

 

As for managers, I've found out that pairing charismatic managers with less-than-charismatic wrestlers will result in the "manager did some good job at ringside" during matches. I'm guessing a manager with good charisma and mic skills can also help workers in angles.

As far as I know, you can't change that on purpose, but you can gradually change it by handling backstage incidents. Try to have a locker room leader or someone with high respect around, this might result in more "wrestlers' court" type situations where the incident is auto-resolved and almost never make someone's personality worse

<p>Question for Adam mostly, or anyone else that might think they know.</p><p> </p><p>

The latest patch 1.53 (version II), one of the updated items says "Fixed an issue with attendances being incorrect" was this a common or uncommon problem? Will this affect my attendance at events? Currently I'm doing pretty good, but loosing or gaining a thousand people could make a huge difference with me financially currently (either for better or worse). Just curious about this fix with a little more detail. Thank you in advance.</p>

[BiffJordan]

Does the Mayhem match aim always get "The crowd didn't like the overbooked nature of the match" note or is it because my product settings? I know it says it limits the match quality, is the road agent note the visual example of that?

Felt nice to see a manager shoot up in overness without really having to cheese it</p>

[atomzero]

When you build a dojo, what sort of fighter does a "Shooters" focus produce? My product is Key Realism and Key Pure. It doesn't appear to have Puro workers as an option, and I'd be ok with Technicians, but Shooters might be better, unless they mean shooters for Hyper Realism, which I don't really do.

<p>Hi guys, tried to search for an issue similar to mine, but couldn't find anything similar.</p><p> </p><p>

So, i was creating a mod where there would be an alliance with companies from different continents. As I wanted to set continental titles I set an alliance with all of the companies (with a World Championship for all of them to work with) and then smaller alliances that only had the companies from the respective continents (so a North American alliance, an European alliance...) each with a shared championship. </p><p> </p><p>

I set it up so that none of the companies could have non-shared belts, but even then only the World Championship would get used by the AI, and the regional belts would stay untouched for years and years. Is this a limitation on alliances or could it have to do with Prestige or some other stat?</p>

They don't have to choose between two different titles in the same alliance, but between two different alliance titles.

Thanks.

So it seems like I really won't be able to setup multiple region specific titles for my WWE Alliance (if I put them in the larger Alliance I'll get the Mexican title being defended in Japan and so on). It's a shame you can't set a nationality limitation on a Championship.
