I have a question about popularity gaining. <p> I'm NJPW and my popularity across Japan is 80, and it has been the last three months, despite my shows (touring, TV and events) consistently scoring 85 and above... Shouldn't my pop in Japan rise? I've looked in the editor, and the pop is still 80.2 as it has been the last three months.

[Gungner]

<p>No Regional or National battles... I'm NJPW, #2 company in the world. And yes, I do have national TV coverage, both for my TV show and my Tour Events. </p><p>

I wasn't sure if too many shows in a short time space would be a factor, but that's just how they do it IRL. I can live with it though, was just curious as my pop in USA and Mexico are growing fast!</p>

You know where you check regions and find out "mainstream" is highly popular in USA but "traditional" is more popular in Canada? Could have something to do with that swimming upstream feeling. Or why it is rising faster in other areas if they have a bigger appetite for your product type. </p><p> </p><p> I have a lot of shows, too. But one show is specifically for outside my home region (which is Canada) because my TV signal reaches outside it (to British Isles). I hope that keeps me from over saturating my home region. I am #1 in Canada but #2 is very close. <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Same TV channel carries both shows, but one show is staged in Canada and the other in UK.</p>

I made a venue a while ago but I kinda screwed it up. I sold it, thinking it was going to be deleted, but it's not gone. Is there any ways to delete a venue?

<p>AI Skewed in WCW vs WWF?</p><p> </p><p>

I'm noticing some lack or parity when I play as one of the "Big Two" and wanted to see if anyone noticed it.</p><p> </p><p>

I've run a 1994 RW mod as both WWF and WCW.</p><p>

No matter which company I play as, at least 50% of my 'stars' neglect to re-sign with me, instead joining the competition. In EITHER case I treat them well, match any offer (unless Vince/Eric caps me) and ensure there are no morale issues in question.</p><p> </p><p>

I also noticed that, when I play as WCW, WWF builds up a huge roster, but only runs 1-hour RAWs with only TWO matches per show. With so many workers being left off the show each week, how are they not bottoming out in way of morale and looking to leave???</p><p> </p><p>

So I was curious if the game intentionally 'slants' towards the competition in order to make it a little harder and a little more competitive.</p><p> </p><p>

Anyone have any insight on either case?</p>

[Peria]

Didn't I read somewhere that if you change a workers gimmick successfully they lose all their previous momentum? I swear I read this somewhere. Because jobbing out Young Lions to the point they get "major negative" makes me sad. Is there anyway to alleviate this?

<p>database problems</p><p> </p><p>

When I go to make a database for a mod, that folder is never made in my GDS Folder, But the database shows up as being in the game itself, just with no data.</p>

[CharlieRock]

what do you actually get for winning national battles? does it really matter?

 

Seems to me it's not what you get, it's what happens to the losers (i.e. popularity loss). It's the only way to "attack" rival companies without risk.

[Gungner]

Just a quick question about Multi-Advance... I see that partial stops on important e-mails and such, but what about Full? Does the the loading ever stop?

 

And another quick one: What happens if a loaned worker wins a title in your company on his last appearance? I'm guessing the title gets vacated? Or does he still hold the belt, but can't defend it until you loan him again?

[Peria]

<p>Can anyone explain "Subscription" to me? It seems like a weaker "Commerical" option when choosing television deals.</p><p> </p><p>

Aichi just opened up, and they're "Very Big" in all of Japan. Which is REALLY tempting since they're open to negotiations. Is Subscription worth? As a touring company.</p>

Create them as Weekly Events, and just choose not to broadcast them, when running the shows (if you want realism). </p><p> </p><p> Create two to five touring events (i'd recommend three if you don't have a TV-show, and two if you do have a tv-show), and call them something like "Great Big Tour (mon)" ... or whatever your tourname is, and the day of the week it is.</p>
