nine_iron Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Iam now creating the nation of Kent The cornwall one was pretty simple, hopefully someone still does cornwall or cornwall and devon! Looking good this year, hopefully any issues are corrected quickly so we can have people playing our databases soon. I am starting the Merseyside and Hampshire ones this week. They will not be in as great detail as my Lincs & Humber one so might be a good base for someone else to go on and make logos and add lower leagues if they so wish.

Last year I found putting a new nation in either Oceania or Asia caused the game to crash. Also if you want to enter continental competitions you'll have to rebuild the continental comps. I've tried creating a limited Tasmanian nation using that was already available in the database but they never picked players even when I added players to Tasmania. I do wish you good luck though.

I don't know if it's been fixed but another issue I found was no one outside oceania organised friendlies with anyone but NZ, even when I my NSW team was ranked 4th in the world. I've tried using the Tasmanian FA's website for information, it's pretty crap. I suppose for an amateur competition there wouldn't be much money for a professional website. I tried to do so much with Tasmania as a test but it just fell flat. I wanted to try a Northern\Southern Premier League All Stars Game which no one seemed to know how to get to work and as such the teams were just filled with grey ghosts. I did a very basic split once before, just using the teams that start in the DB and Balkanised Australia by sticking them in various Pacific Islands, while combining those nations in to a 'south pacific' national team based in the Solomon Islands. It worked but it was nothing spectacular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine_iron Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 arkitekt and I have just finished our online head to head. Lincs & Humber VS The Kingdom of Kent It was a very close call, the first game finished 1-1 at the K.C. Stadium. The second game Lincs & Humber won 3-0 away at Preistfields. The third game at the KC was 0-0, the 4th 1-1 The final game was played in an all out attacking style by arkitekt, Kent threw everything at the Lincs goal, scoring after half an hour. Lincs & Humber gave away a penalty to go 2 down. With 20 minutes left Kent made it 3 to make the league all square at 6 points and equal goal difference. With just minutes on the clock remaining Tom Hopper scored for Lincs and Humber to secure the league win on goal difference! Sadly the game then crashed so we missed out on what came next. If anyone wants another game both arkitekt would recommend it, we had lots of fun and I am open to all comers! If you need any advice on how to set up a team, export it or play online just ask either one of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakpase Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I have tested this and it gives little issues, some values cause problems. Just ask any regional database creators So do you mean 0.00 values give issues and that I should use the 0.17 value instead? I am having issues with a crash at around August 26th 2013 but I think this is caused because I have a couple of nations with no countries or players left in them at all, do you think this may be a co-efficient problem? Also the Europa League doesn't restart after the first season but the Champions League does but again I think the problem is because there are no clubs at all to pull through in Estonia. I will test with all my regional nations set to 0.17 for all 5 years though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Hacker Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 You need to leave probably at least 5 teams in certain countries to make them able to fulfil their coefficients. However if you give them each a really low reputation then their clubs won't sign players and their coefficient will drop to being the lowest in the game. That would not be too much of a problem. Leaving the coefficient at 0 could cause negative numbers of teams to be assigned as if I recall correctly it was a problem number. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine_iron Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 OK decided what to do regarding my Regional Databases Competition. Going for a straight knock-out competition, depending on numbers there will of course have to be some qualifying rounds before the 1st round proper. Anyone knocked out in those qualifying rounds or the 1st round proper will play in the vase knock-out running alongside the main competition. This is to ensure everyone gets a decent number of matchups. I will outline the rules etc over the coming week or so as well as a competition structure and timeline. What I need from you guys is PMs with your team name, a screen shot of your squad or the .tex file link and what times (GMT only!) you are available to play (not exact, maybe something like weekends only, or all week) so I can guage how to build the timeline. Please can I have these initial entries by the end of this weekend. If you need any help please feel free to PM me. Entry rules are pretty simple: 1. All players must have been born in a city within your chosen region. Large regions are allowed eg Northumberland, Yorkshire, Catalan and Basque etc. Smaller teams will probably end up in the Vase so really any sized team can win something! 2. Editing of city of birth of players is not allowed, they must be as in the default database for all players in your squad. (PM me if you have any questions on this). 3. Players who have chosen to play for another nation despite them being born in a city in your nation OR who have been capped for another nation CAN play for your national team. I personally have NOT included them as for my tiny nation it is doubtful they would switch allegiance, for a larger nation such as Merseyside, Catalan or Basque it is possible and probably preffered by the players in real life when I create ones like thos I have changed the players nation. I will leave that decision up to you as the creator. 4. Created players are not allowed. 5. Please ensure your nation has as much detail as possible, ie name, kits, stadium, attendance etc (but not anything that is not relevant to initial creation of the squad. 6. League structures are NOT required, just changing CIS to your nation, changing the continent of CIS to Europe and then changing the nationality of all qualifying players is sufficient. 7. Last of all but VERY important. Export your national team on the first day of the game loading, do not progress past the first day. Thats pretty much it for rules on team submission. It does rely quite a lot on the honesty of the person making the database, I hope that the benefit of being entered into the Vase competition if you lose in or before the first round should discourage that. I will repeat all these rules in the main competition thread when I put it up, I just would like some entrants before I do so to show that it is already filling up and it is worth entering. Thanks again to all who have helped me decide to do this and to all who have helped so far! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I based the rep of the nation and comps on that of scotland, but still I have key players leaving for very little with a very low value. I think the clubs would get a rep boost from leaving England, I tweak my Lincs & Humber teams, only slightly but enough to make the competition a little better. I think some top clubs would get a fairly decent rep boost really, as they have become the dominant teams in the nation but the choice is up to you, if you do I think you have sufficient justification.
