Does anybody know, what skills are important for Road Agents and how can they be improved?

 

Experience and psychology.

I am doing a TCW save and it seems like every time I get to the main event of my PPV the match gets penalized for poor announcing. Is that because of the length of my shows and the announcers wearing down, or are my announcers not good enough and it just shows itself most during the biggest matches?

It just means that the wrestlers in the match perform a better match than the announcers can commentate. Ideally you obviously want to have a perfect announce team, but realistically speaking the best matches will always be better than the commentary team. All my 100 rated matches were penalized for the announcers

Anyone figured out how merchandise for individual wrestlers work? I'm at lvl6 Merchandise now (c-verse, new company, small size), but only get merch sales from one worker, is there some minimal popularity requirements for wrestlers to sell merch?

I assume I am being really stupid, but how do I change an alter ego back to the default character.

 

If I create an alter ego and write a bio and save it as alter ego, I can't work out how to switch it back and flip between them

I'm pretty sure there's a requirement. Like at a certain merch level and company size, only stars and up sell merch, something like that. And I think at a lower level Heels don't sell merch?

 

If someone can be more precise though, please do.

Maybe I'm to blind to finde it, but is there no option to use a worker as an guest-announcer during matches? It would be a nice way to advance storylines without having to use the Road Agent Note.

You can manually select commentators for every match. Filter by "Any Role" and select the guest commentator there

Didn't see the Filter Option there. Thanks.

<p>What changed about the 'menace' stat? The manual states it's 25% of the angle rating and starts dropping after 4 minutes.</p><p> </p><p>

If anything, I'd think it was MORE powerful before this patch. Or has it been nerfed previously? <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

I mentioned this issue in tech support. The handbook entry is (as far as I can tell) exactly the same as it was before the patch, so my assumption (haven't actually tested) is that it's just an issue where he forgot to update the handbook.

i want to play as a child company, but do they ever get sent talent

 

i am playing as OVW and in a few sims i have done they are always sent a few wrestlers, mainly Shelly Martinez, so i thought yeah this would be fun but after three months they have signed the usual guys but just kept them

 

edit sorry this was meant for small questions thread

[Sprout1883]

You go back to where you would create an alter ego, there is a drop down menu where it says 'alter ego'. You select the default and then you're good to go.

 

I'm not seeing this.

 

I can view the workers alter egos and their default, but If I go into where I would create it the only only thing in the drop down box is the alter ego I have created.

 

The only way I can do it is to create an alter ego as their default info

 

edit

 

the only thing I haven't done is change the picture. does that make a difference?

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but is anyone else having problems gaining pop in The Maritimes region? Broadcaster has big coverage there, I've hosted two shows there, both rated 80+ and another in Queen too, yet I'm always getting the lack of coverage for 1 Canadian region (assuming its there) and popularity has only gone from 54 to 55 in space of a year (and that was before holding the shows there). Other Canadian regions range from 75-81 in pop, and I've won the last two area battles for both Canada and USA too.

[PersonalJesus]

I don't know if this has been asked about/explained before but I had something really strange happen in my new PGHW save. I changed the schedule for PGHW from touring shows to lesser shows (I also got rid of a lot of shows so we pretty much only have shows on weekends). For the first month the lesser shows drew 10,000 and the big show drew 15,000. None of the shows really lost or gained popularity (we had a lot of wrestlers gain pop but not shows). Now we're in February and those attendances have fallen off a cliff (around 3500 for small shows and 5000 for our monthly big event). We haven't lost momentum and the TV viewership on the shows is the same so why the big drop in live attendance?

It seems I am experiencing the same problems.

I have three region with 79 popularity and the others 54-56.

Also I can’t get a better broadcast in Canada because of my popularity.

I can’t increase in size because I need at least 71 pop in either Canada or Mexico.

Adding pics for generated workers

 

Hi everyone, I'm four years into managing MLW in the KTB mod. I love virtually everything about the game, but I have one peeve: likely because of the mod, my generated workers have no pictures. I've downloaded a free pic pack, but I'm getting the sense my only option is to save my game as a database, add the pics for auto-generated workers, then start a "new" game from the DB I created based on my save.

 

Do I have any other options? Is there perhaps a way to edit this in the settings?

If the free pic pack comes with a dataset that has them all set up properly you can import them all straight into your save from that data. If the pack doesn't already have a dataset, you should make a new database and add the data for it, then import that into your save. Shouldn't have to turn your save into a database and lose all the info and fun stuff that doesn't convert.

Thanks for the guidance, I appreciate it. I downloaded Sabin's free pic pack, and it does come with a db folder and the pics folder. However I notice the names of the pics are things like FEMALE 0381. Will these workers be generated with names like FEMALE 0381, or will these pics be attached to randomly generated new workers? Apologies for all the questions, but I got to the point where I'm importing the data type Free Pictures from the DB Sabin_pics_DB and the names concerned me.

Workers get genned with names, then assigned a random picture that fits them based on what they've been set to work with in the dataset. Best thing to do is look at one in the editor, it should be clear how it works from there without me trying to talk my way through it.

While playing your save go to options > in game editor > workers, find the one without picture (by name) then add it trough editor.

Thanks, I can definitely do that for a handful of workers, but I'd rather have an automated process going forward. I imported the free pictures into my DB in the in game editor, but created workers are still faceless. Maybe I need to re-enable the picture requirement?

<p>Chart about match crowd control</p><p> </p><p>

Does anybody got that handy chart that shows about the tiers of crowd heat and what kind of matches you need to elevate/control it? It's a very handy chart that helps me learned the game.</p><p> </p><p>

I lost my saved copy and now when trying to search the forums yield no result. I swear someone made one in the first month after the game released. Does anybody saved it? Was it deleted because some update make it obsolete?</p>
