BB Colossus has high menace and heel/brute skill, but he only has 52 charisma. He looks like just the guy I want as my main beast, but I'm finding it difficult to get him over, as since he has no charisma, squash matches with domination don't work very well, and menace angles only go so far. any help? also, do domination help or hinder if the dominator has low charisma?

I assume the Thunderverse is one.</p><p> </p><p>

Can I also ask if anyone has links to the CV97/05/10 data? The threads seem dead.</p>

I have a question about the Hall Of Immortals. In my game, Randy Orton is a 9-time WWE Champion, 4-time World Heavyweight Champion, and 2-time Royal Rumble winner (among other things)... but yet he's only at 95% progress for Hall Of Immortals ? That seems ridiculous to me... he should unequivocally be a definite future HOI inductee. Can anyone explain the HOI algorithm being used? I just don't understand it because there are some people at 50% who haven't won many titles at all.

[TheRyanLee]

Okay, I have another quick question. How do you create an 8-man Money in the Bank Ladder match? The most I can create is 6-man singles.. is there a way to change this? I've got the Money in the Bank PPV up next and I wanted to have an 8-man ladder match for the men and an 8-woman ladder match for the women.

Thanks for the quick responses. I guess there's no way for me to change Orton's HOI status now.. because I can't import that type of data. I wish I could change it in game, but that's okay I'll get him that last 5% lol.

[TheRyanLee]

Okay so how do you get the 10-man battle royal to closely resemble a Money in the Bank match? It seems that I cannot use the item retrieval finish in a battle royal match. I guess I'll have to do a 6-man ladder match instead. :/

Any way I can edit my Approval Rating?

 

I’ve just signed my rival promotions top star and in the process completely turned the National battle around in one move. But because he is 43 and I have an owner goal of no one older than 42 - my approval rating has dropped to Abysmal. I’m only a few months in so I’ve got plenty of time to turn it around but surely signing (arguably) the biggest star in the country outweighs him being 1 year too old!

Hello again! I just wanted to ask how downloading the demo for TEW2016 (1.26) affects your ability to purchase the full game (1.34). I remember downloading the update for the demo, but it didn't work for some reason. Will buying the full game wipe out your saves on the demo?

 

Going from the trial to the retail version does not affect your save games or databases at all. You would simply apply the latest patch from the Technical Support forum.

[TC Dale]

Playing TEW tonight, and I used to be able to remember how to access where I have been lately in a region and shows me where I need to run shows in alternate regions before the TV show is in PM mode day of the show.

 

Anyone remember or point me to the place to go to see?

[TheRyanLee]

How do you remove a third brand? It keeps telling me I need to put announcers for the third brand, but I dissolved it, got rid of the titles, tv shows, etc. There's nothing left of the third brand.. I just want to completely remove it.

[Blake Trask]

How many negatives can someone have in terms of being a figurehead before they become non-viable? If it says 'they're almost there but is lacking in a couple key areas' does that then mean no way no how?

 

I've yet to actually ever use anyone as a figurehead because it seems whoever I have in my main event, someone else beats them out in another category and

it says they're overshadowed—everyone has at least one or two penalties, and I get worried I'll put my backing behind someone and then it'll turn out to be a failure. I just want to try the feature out!

[Teh_Showtime]

It is entirely possible to have someone wholly qualified to be a figurehead and still have negative notes in every category if someone is just that much better than them (which also makes them figurehead material).

 

If the description says they have all of the ingredients to be successful I would go ahead but also be mindful of the potential other people have so that they don’t grow to outshine your chosen figurehead. Since stuff like charisma is easily trainable that is one to be especially wary of.

 

In your case it seems like you may have people who are pretty good but not slam dunks, those can work but obviously won’t give the success Rocky Golden would.

[Blake Trask]

That makes a lot of sense, thanks.

 

I'll have to study closely who I have and what exactly the notes are saying.

 

If I pick up my 0/0/0/0 Might need to wait for Matt Keith to come back from injury to see where he stacks up since he's mega over.

Is there a rule of thumb on when a worker won't re-sign with a company because he's way more popular than the promotion? I had that happen in BCG when I pumped up a guy to A pop in Japan only for him to refuse to sign a new deal with me despite being loyal. Curious what the cut off for that is.

[ShiningWizzro]

How many new workers get generated with the frequency settings? I set it to very low for a month and didn’t see any new workers pop up. Are there other criteria involved with how it works?

 

Cheers

Personality has an impact (I believe). But it's sure that if you are Cult size you'll have trouble signing A and above pop workers. Also if a worker won't sign with you now, if they go unsigned by a major promotion for 6 months they will be willing to sign with you after that.

The modding community for this game is unbelievable.

 

Currently playing ThunderVerse, what an awesome job these guys did....

 

Can anyone recommend a similar mod? Meaning all characters have the same render and look like they came from the same place? Also lots of characters and Feds?

I have a quick question about owner goals:

 

If the goal is not to hire any wrestlers over 40, would you fail this if you hired someone who is over 40 in a non-wrestling role? The guy in question is a wrestler and a commentator but I only want him as a commentator, but I'm thinking I'll still fail, even if the contract stipulates he can't wrestle.

You get a warning if you try to hire someone that would conflict with the owner goal. No warning and it's okay.
