TEW 2020 Small Questions Thread

[Bull]

Yet he's considered a major star by the fans...

 

I'm just curious what the actual mechanic is that's preventing him from growing

 

His momentum is the deciding factor in why he's considered a major star even though his popularity is capped. As for why it's capped it would pretty much have to be a bad destiny roll as with the way popularity caps are set now it's the only thing that would be limiting his growth. . At least that's the conclusion I gather from the handbook pop caps section. .

20 Minutes too long for a match in "Attitude Entertainment" at an Event? I'm not exactly how I can change my product, because this aint right.

Try "Classic Sports Entertainment". You can still book short matches around 6 to 10 minutes that will hardly ever incur much of a penalty but you won't get pinged on that 20 minute Main Event or PPV match.

<p>Hi, I'm playing as BHOTWG and they are not required to run storylines. Will having a worker win a storyline still give him more momentum, or will it not have any effect? </p><p> </p><p>

Thanks!</p>

When do you know it's the best time to end a Storyline?

That's nice to know, thanks! I have another question on perception. Can (in theory) all wrestlers in a company be Major stars, or is this based on an internal grading (i.e. only X% can be Major stars, only Y% can be stars, etc)?

How do you mass delete employment history of workers?

How do you meddle with a workers relationship, can't seem to find out how. Thanks</p>

So basically through being an OCD spaz, I started an alliance and then resigned from it. I want to get back in but they won't let me in because I quit! Is there any way to edit my company back into the alliance?

[Doctor Crunch]

Has anyone managed to talk someone into working as a Ref?

[lr10540]

<p>Is there a way to set broadcasters to show events by default, or do I have to select the broadcaster before I begin booking every event.</p><p> </p><p>

For clarification, I'm running weekly events, intending to air them on WrestleWorld. Instead of having it where all my events default to airing on WrestleWorld, I have to select it on the first screen it puts you on when you go to book a show. Not a huge deal, but would be a bit less tedious to not have to select it every time.</p>

[capstrap]

<p>Really stupid question. Are there not big pictures of the workers like in WMMA 5? I kind of hoped to get a better idea of the characters by seeing their whole physique in the new version of TEW. Am I missing something here or is it just not included?</p><p> </p><p>

I just started the demo...</p>

[JonButterfield]

Completely new to TEW 2020 - I can't find the answer I'm looking for, so thought I'd ask here - I put a worker under a new mask, but is there a way of representing that in the worker's picture?

[Generic Heel 104]

Is there a setting where I have to establish that my company's selling DVDs of shows?

[Justin]

So, I'm playing WCW 91, and I've got Dick the Bruiser as a road agent with no other roles.

 

He's irritated at being left off of TV.

 

What do?

Two things i can think of...is he an active wrestler? If so he may not be happy with the road agent role.

 

Secondly, make sure he's being used. The road agent rotation is off thus far. I now pick my road agents for each match cause if I didn't i would notice that for a promotion with 3 road agents, i had 2 out of three shows where it gave a working that one of my road agents was being overused, out of 9 matches she was book to agent 6 of them, road agent two was booked for 2 and my other road agent (actually my best) only one. It seems to pick the first one by alphabetical order most of the time.

He's a retired wrestler and his only role is road agent. However, I wasn't aware that the RA rotation was off, so that's probably what's what. Fanks.

[PhenomenalPat]

No prob.

 

Question, I'm working on a database for my game and want to keep it somewhat in the confines of the games rules, so I was wonder...is there a minimum size that someone will sign a written deal? Does it vary by type? Will they sign a written non exclusive deal for a smaller company than a written exclusive deal?
