Yes exactly. For example, I looked for old kingdoms in Africa and for autonomous regions worldwide to see which periods where interesting and started building from there. You can pick any point in time if you like. And sometimes it is just fun to pick something entirely different from the rest of the time period.

@Wolf_pd That's what I did for my own world maps too. I start somewhere with some historical facts and then think about what would have happend when time froze, or when you fast forward everything from that point. Or some things are just fun to try and make a story around.

The background stories are all partly based on a mix of historical facts, cultural ties and (existing) sentiments and then a fantasy twist?

That would be very interesting. I am afraid of the editor work atm, which keeps me from starting my own edits.

@Ozbay You're welcome! I've put 100s of hours in multiple projects, so I feel the same. It is so nice if another person appreciates the work and the quality

I totally understand that. A few years ago I started something on another website and it grew beyond my imagination. I really like the fox in your competition logos!

The amount of time and love you put into this is just awesome. Haven't bought FM23 yet, but I really like what you made here.

You have received far too little credit for your work. It is awesome. :-)

Then I will do some more tests to see which file is causing this. Thanks. I just saw you made this for FM23 too. Great! Not bought FM23 yet, but when I'll do I'm sure I will use your files too. Thanks for making them

@FootballHedgehog Do you happen to know if some regional continental cups can cause problems with teams qualifying? I had a savegame in France, where I had almost every regional European cup loaded and French teams were only qualifying for the Latin Cup and the Champions League. They no longer participated in the Europa League or Conference League anymore. And when loading the East Asian Club Cup China lost a lot of coëfficient points and wasn't in the ACL anymore. I had a lot of of other editor files loaded, but totally different files. (like extra nations, transfer updates, realism updates, etc) I am not sure where to look or what files to keep and throw away? Have you some insights?

About 270 files even. game crashes around year 90. (which it did today too, with far less files) Thanks, might do a new league myself then.

I think it is better if I start thinking about my editing wishes and if it becomes more specific I can always open a topic for myself.

I have about 270 editor files loaded and tested it for almost hundred years without problems. In the 90-something season it went unstable, but before that it all seemed to work. Was a shame that I found out too late that the French teams weren't qualifying for the Europa and Conference League.

Don't want to hijack your topic ofcourse. I just thought of a lot of new regional champions league, but not for the regions that are in the game right now, but for teams from nations with historical ties, or who are from provinces of the same name. Like a Guinea region champions league, a Guyana champions league (for Surinam, both Guyanas and teams from the Guyana regions of Brazil and Venezuela), a Sachsen Cup for teams of the 3 Sachsen provinces in Germany, etc. This would prevent me having to create an entire new world like the two db's that Wolf is building. Which are awesome, but at the moment far above my editing knowledge. Or some total madness fantasy club pyramid where each level has its own quirky rules. Like the 1st division is a MLS style conference with play-offs, the 2nd divison has the Eerste Divisie period champions, the 3rd level has a spot that gives you direct access to the 1st level, etc. In reality I really like the realistic mods you are making, but I though about doing a very strange save once in a while. I've never played such a thing and it would sound like fun.

Oh, I'm sorry, I meant doubles as in person A uses CIS and person B does too, which then become incompatible. In my game I had teams from France only participiating in the CL and not in any other vanilla continental cup, as probably the Latin Cup messed things up. Yes, with a template I mean that we could load up the editor, and just point and click, or drag and drop. Lets say I want to make Greenland, or any other non-Fifa nation like Guernsey. It would be so much easier if you could just click "create new nation" and get to chose between a few much used preformatted templates, some empty ones, or user generated templates and just go from there. No need for deleting an existing nation, or using a defunct one. And then just drag and drop the options. Click the amount of teams, conferences, cards, etc. Drag a relgation play-off to it, chose a European qualifiaction method to it, copy the rules of an existing division, etc. If the editor then comments on every step (ie. "need two more teams", or "you have one team too many. Do you want to build an extra round or delete one participant", or "this league has no relegation. Are you sure" etc) I have a lot of ideas for making new leagues or cups, but I never start them because all the issues I read on these forums. The combination of the huge amount of work and the high probability of conflicts with other peoples work, scare me.

I absolutely appreciate such ideas. Haven't bought MF23 yet so I can't be of much help testing. other than sharing ideas that might pop up. Found out my own bunch of collected files had another big messup (shame I was already 3 seasons in) and I think that might be the biggest issue with custom leagues and cups. If there is a double with the used leagues, or too many match conjuncton, the game decides to do weird stuff. Would be nice if SI finds a way to just start editing leagues and nationis from scratch with a template, instead of having to using existing items in the DB.

@Wolf_pd You mean like chosing between i.e. Oregon Country or Columbia District? Or translating every name into English?

Me too. No clubs waiting while others play matches, and with groups and knock-out stages following a factor 2, you always have a nice clean path to the final without 3rd places, qualify rules etc.

Won't say a thing about flklnd

Well, 32 is easier anyways for comps and cups if you need groups and knockouts

Very nice, Glad to be of help. Falkland question is answered too 😉

Are Falkland, South Georgia and the Sandwich Islands part of Patagonia?

I am very curious to see what'll happen to the Caribbean, USA and Canada.

@Wolf_pd What will you do with the teams originally from French Guyana, Martinique, etc who are allowed to participate in the Coupe de France?

Will you share some of the maps?
