Neoteros Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I wonder, now that there's a Carnival Days product setting, will Southern Pro Wrestling use it, or will Monaghan's Marvelous Traveling Carnival come back to life? By the way, I found a company that's in the picture files (Britannia Wrestling Alliance) but not in the actual data, I tried searching for it to no avail.

Capelli King Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I am having fun with this. I also have the companies not progressing in popularity, but i think this has to do with Adam's new criteria, basically he needs a patch to fix it. The thing that scares me the most is the game getting very slow with lots of companies and workers, so i have removed all non-USA and reduced the Dojo's to just the essential to see how it goes. 20 years into the game and it is working very good. Much faster than the CV database. For me on my computer, the ideal database size is 20-25 companies with 2000ish workers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjall Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Started a watcher game today. It's now 1935. All promotions stay at 30 pop. Most of them could sign broadcast deals but they just don't do it. TWA was the only promotion to sign one for touring highlights. They have 30 pop in two regions now but thats it. This can't be right.

BiffJordan Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I'm really excited to see where this goes. I'm in 1928 on a watcher right now. It's taking forever to progress a year so I may end up letting it advance while I sleep tonight and start a company in the 80's or wherever I wake up.

BiffJordan Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 What is this 'watcher' I see so many people posting about? Sorry if it's common knowledge, I'm new here. Yeah since this Mod starts in 1920. You can watch the AI take all the info given from the mod maker over time to create a very organic hopefully balanced game world. Warning though, it takes a long time to advance years! I started yesterday afternoon and I'm still only on 1933. I stop every few years to try and learn the history of what's going on in the business. Eventually I'll pick a time to start my own promotion or join an already existing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Trask Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 <p>As effin mentioned, if you turn off roles on the booking screen, you can then select literally anyone.</p><p> </p><p> Unfortunately experience doesn't seem to increase with road agenting only, so Lutter will always be a bit naff. The only stat that might increase is his respect.</p><p> </p><p> If you want the authentic experience, it's a long term problem that will only <em>start</em> to be mitigated once the first set of gens/workers start to gain more experience and respect, which will take some time. Still, this is the birth of wrestling so it kind of makes sense that there is a lack of expert agents to help put matches together.</p><p> </p><p> The penalties aren't insurmountable and it will be a very very long time before match grades are ever high enough for poor road agenting to be a meaningful penalty. I've had the penalties on every match I've ever booked on the save I'm a couple years into, but the workers are poor so it doesn't really matter.</p><p> </p><p> However, like effin said, you can use quick add in the editor/import roadies in if it bothers you. Or even use the in game editor to set workers up as road agents. That's less realistic to the game state but it's your game and y'know, getting roadie penalties for twenty years might not be your jam.

cruzacsvoice Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 <p>Thanks for the info! I'll probably just use the game editor and set someone as a road agent - similar to the way that an unemployed wrestler started a company Year 2, with 3x the money that I started with, hah! As with the rest of the game, I'm sure I can come up with a story in my head <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> (since the quick add didn't work)</p><p> </p><p> Thanks again!</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
