Has anyone seen AOW get an owner? I have never seen it and they always go out of business because they can't run shows.<p> </p><p> Looking in the in-game editor in my current sim there seems to only be 2 potential owners left for Britain and they are both female (but no limit on age or company size - they are not generated characters). Wondering if they won't get involved in all-male promotions?</p><p> </p><p> What's weird though is that Pride of Germany, Quebec Championship Wrestling and Viva La Lucha all found potential owners from generated characters. The owner for Pride of Germany was generated in Britain.</p><p> </p><p> Now I've only simmed 5 years so I'll see what happens over the next 5.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I am currently running a watcher game and I have encountered the same problem. I manually added an owner I picked from the generated workers in the British Isles. That seemed to do the trick. But it is still strange to see.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i effin rule Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 It does seem to happen more frequently than with some of the other promotions, but not all of the time. I do think the whole age thing has made things a bit more difficult. I still can't figure out why the original characters aren't opening the promotions though.

imnotbooked Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Just D/L'd the latest update. Currently in July '21, and no new workers have been generated? Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i effin rule Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Just D/L'd the latest update. Currently in July '21, and no new workers have been generated? Is this normal? It is not. My first thought is that it doesn't have the pictures and you have generation set to only happen if there are available pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imnotbooked Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 It is not. My first thought is that it doesn't have the pictures and you have generation set to only happen if there are available pictures. I only chose to install the gifs to take advantage of new features. Is this an issue? P.S., in August of '21, all schools shut down as well.

I restarted and got worker generation going. With no .jpeg's to chose, no pic is loaded. I appreicate this though, that way i can pick each pic as a worker is debuts.

It was Firefox's fault, and I think it's specific to my personal setup, I just used Edge and it worked. I guess that's what happens when you're a power user and super customize your PC lol.

MainOffender Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 A question for Eff and some of the more experienced organic players: is there a sweet spot for the number of active workers you want in an area per company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Trask Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 It sort of depends on your size and whether you're willing to turn off repetitive booking penalties. I successfully ran shows with three workers at insignificant with double duty. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like is there a ratio you want of active wrestlers to companies? If you have small roster penalty on, I'd say 12 - 16, if it is off then I'd say you could probably get by with 10. Does the game not create new Referees Colour Commentators Announcers After 10 years not one new non-wrestler emerged... You have to turn on Auto Fix Imbalances.

i effin rule Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 <p>In early versions of the game, it was essentially impossible for a worker to become a Road Agent unless set to. Adam has since upped this so in theory it is supposed to happen more often. Additionally, I believe he said that anyone who retires and is a Professional or Stalwart should become a Road Agent.</p><p> </p><p> You can also do a Quick Fill to add some Road Agents as well.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
