Repetitive booking penalties seem fine to me, to be honest. Let's just forget the fact that some promotions today tend to repeat a lot, but the principle is always the same even irl. As long as it is better than the last one, the current intervals and penalties seem fine to me.

 

Chemistry is suppose to give huge advantages to matches. When you got two workers who gel so well due to that chemistry, hardly anything will ever go wrong. This is probably even more noticeable in tag team wrestling, where the principle of several men in the ring will allow for many more weaknesses to be covered and matches to flow even better.

 

The thing is, in a tag team match you have twice the chemistry AND the experience edge twice in one match. Making it super easy to make great tag team matches.

 

And while a stand-alone tag team match may be easier to set up in real life, making an engaging tag team storyline is a much harder affair. In a long term personal storyline singles matches work much better then tag team matches. So it's not like tag team wrestling is superior, it's just a different animal.

 

Besides, even if tag team matches are better... the same advantage from regular tag team matches (chemistry and experience) doesn't apply to 6 man tags because there you have neither of those.

 

I'm just saying that in the game, imo, every match type should be equally difficult to book. No one match type is superior to another match type, they are just different and have their own advantages/disadvantages.

 

I love me same tag team matches but I also love the more personal approach of singles matches or the chaos of a fatal four way.

<p>I was just thinking about this the other day, and since we're on the subject, I guess I'll just put Saudi Arabia into the Southern Mediterranean region in the game world. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I mean, that's sorta kinda where Saudi Arabia is... let's just say there was some crazy political incident in the game world, and Saudi Arabia is now considered to be a part of Europe, okay? Unless others have a better idea lol.</p><p> </p><p>

Maybe with the new "Locations" feature, I can just make a location called Saudi Arabia, or something. Or a city in Saudi Arabia. I don't really see a better way.</p>

India is going to be interesting, but why not Asia? India, China, South East Asia would have been the three sub-areas of it, and it would have been pretty cool.

PENGUIN WRESTLING

[YeeeHaw83]

I don't know if it's too late but I have some simple suggestions that I'd love to see added.

 

Make a wrestler's finisher a commentary tag in the angle creation screen. This would allow the commentary to describe a worker's finisher in action angles where appropriate instead of having to have separate angles for multiple finishers (piledrive through a table vs powerbomb through a table).

 

Also, I enjoy writing extensive commentary for my custom angles. I was hoping the character limit could be expanded.

 

Thirdly, allow for multiple, chosen at random, commentaries to be written for each angle. It's a purely cosmetic and optional feature that may not be that difficult to include. It would make multiple uses of the same angle feel less repetitive.

 

These simple features would make reading your segments more immersive when running your shows.

Thanks, I'll go look for that right now. Wasn't aware there was a seperate thread for it.

It's a little misleading since the subforum is called "TEW 2016 Suggestions", but that doubles as a suggestions forum for TEW 2020, as well. If I was an admin here, I'd actually name the subforum "TEW 2016/2020 Suggestions", but that's just me.

[YeeeHaw83]

<p>I did have a general question or clarification I was looking for concerning the ager/de-ager tool announced for TEW 2020. The way I read the description it seems that sliding this one way or the other only affects the natural progression/regression of the workers in the database. It doesn't affect their actual age or the date at which the particular mod or database is set to begin. Am I understanding that correctly?</p><p> </p><p>

If so, it seems it would be a FANTASTIC tool for providing variant levels of difficulty to any mod. So for instance, if I made a mod but thought the stats were too generous I could rectify this super fast by "de-aging" 3 years from the entire database and except for those workers who have hit their age of skill decline, the database would experience a nerf in total. Yet the game would still begin at the same assigned time and the workers would still be the same actual age. Do I have that correct?</p>

[Exeter]

Regarding minimum ages being set for potential new owners/bookers, is it possible for this feature to allow for a multiple options based on the size of the company? For example, having a higher age requirement for a larger company, while still allowing for a younger worker to open or work for a local or regional promotion?
