Sister Companies

[Jomosensual]

Has anyone tried out this feature yet? Adding some promotions into my database and am curious if I should add one to another promotion already. My idea is to give 5Star an American sister company but IDK if that would work out or not since they're in different countries.

I have not. My guess is that if you do it you can't break it so it keeps two companies being super friendly no matter how much the AI likes to go to war these days.

In the UK at least, if you want to buy a Skoda, you go to a Skoda dealer. If you want to buy an Audi, you go to an Audi dealer . They're different brands, competing in the same market (though based in different countries) and in pretty much every way are separate companies. If Audi lose money, Skoda are unaffected. But behind the scenes Volkswagen Group own both so they're unlikely to allow them to go at each other in a public war of words. This analogy falls down a bit because the manufacturers don't actually own the dealerships, they're independent, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN LEAVE ME ALONE.</p>

Dragon Gate and DG USA is a perfect example. They were owned by the same company -- so this example works perfectly.

Also DGUSA and EVOLVE (early days)

 

FIP and EVOLVE (modern era)

 

DDT and all of their sub companies (DNA, TJPW, etc)

 

NOAH and NJPW for the brief period where Jado was booking maybe? Nagata has his GHC run, the SZG trade, NOAH guys in G1. Maybe this counts too? It’s only ambiguous because they broke up, which I don’t think happens in game.

Ok, that's perfect then. D-USA is pretty much exactly what i was aiming for
