AI Tweak - Preferred Hires List

[shamelessposer]

I've got this idea for a way modders can better shape promotions over time by getting those promotions to prioritize certain hires as they become available. A new section added to the database would allow for individual workers to be marked as desirable to a promotion, breaking established hiring rules if the worker in question would otherwise violate them. While companies would continue using their established AI rules, a worker could be assigned a priority (low, medium, or high) and a reason why the company would be interested (standout rookie, developmental prospect, future star, top guy).

 

This has a few benefits for historical or fantasy mods. You could use this list to force WWE to prioritize the hiring of Rey Mysterio while otherwise representing the promotion's lack of interest in hiring small wrestlers. You could mark a guy like Brock Lesnar as a priority for WWE's developmental system, or add a worker like Ernest Miller to a database with the understanding WCW will sign him when they're able. This could also be used to represent Nathan Jones and Tom Magee situations where a promotion picks up a worker they maybe "should" pass on.
