Game kind of dies out on you?

[Humptrees]

Hey all,

 

I use one of the real world mods. I generally start a game and play years into it - one went about a decade, current one is in about year four, going on five. I've noticed a few years in -- see it happening in the year four game now -- quite a few companies' rosters have dwindled -- saw one that was down to a roster of 10. Many of the companies do not have any shows scheduled, and others have just one or two scheduled. Basically, it's like the game starts shutting down - companies rosters dwindle to nothing and therefore less and less companies are active with shows.

 

Even UFC and Bellator see rosters that start in 200-300-400 territory dwindle down to 100 or less over time.

 

Please note I've also tried to populate fighters in various parts of the world in different weight classes - when I do that it seems to egg a couple of companies on to hire and refill the roster a bit, but not many and not effectively - and it slows down the simulating quite a bit.

 

Is this just something that happens after a couple of years? Is it the mod I am using? User error? I like to play and play but as the game world becomes so stationary and stagnant it really sucks the fun out of it.

Once the world 'dies out' and you populate, it's too late as there'll be a generational gap and it won't be fun anymore.

 

What you want to set up pre-game in the "era" settings is the "minimum males per class". Default is 30 I believe but you want more than that.

 

Beware if you have promotions in every continent though, as loading times will increase.

 

Honestly if you start the game in even a half-assed database, the "regeneration" setting should make it so you will never be in this situation.
