Jorgen

Glad to hear that it can be helpful for your stories! This was the best map website I came across myself. Europe goes down many levels, other continents mostly provinces, but perhaps you could use a drawing app to do the finer details If necessary. Sorry if I have too many ideas. I just like this kind of stuff very much.

You're welcome! May I do a suggestion to use the 5 Guianas as a nation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guianas

@Wolf_pd Will existing teams (with current or other names) from Costa Rica, Panama, etc participate in the Honduras league, or will it all be new teams? North America is historicly dominated by Mexican teams, but lots of teams from the Central-American nations did very well. Like Alajuelense, Saprissa, Communicacions, Olimpia, Allianza (and even Transvaal and Defense Force playing 9 CL finals). I suspect the Honduras league could be a fierce contender for the continental prizes. Do you know about this website: https://www.mapchart.net/world-subdivisions.html ? You could use it per continent or the world in total to color your new nations. I've used it often for my own projects and it helps my giving shape to the world of my liking.

With so many changes already and probably hitting the big 1 million; did the thought cross your mind to add legendary players and coaches too? You do everything so thoroughly, so I can imagine you have ideas about that too, also knowing that it will multiply the work left exponentially.

@Wolf_pd What about just using the optional transferban for the first transfer window at game start? That wuold at least prevent clubs from buying right away.

@Rob 396 Very nice work! Will look for the FM22 version for when I start a new savegame

@Wolf_pd Very nice read!

Happy New Year! As Chelsea and Manchester do have the money and the knowhow to use their youth academies, they will probably survive this project with less pain than some smaller teams. I am very curious to see how fast they will adapt.

Would be awesome if he can win the ACL too. Am very curious to see which other big players they manage to sign.

If each and every nation and club gets its own history... wow... what an undertaking! Keep up the good work. This is gonna be epic.

But if you find out that you can't lose a continent, you might have to start over again... You could always fill a continent with smaller nations like islands, place Vatican City and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta in their own continent, or do something with the North and South Pole.

@Wolf_pd Ah, good to hear you already knew them. I hoped those projects would see the finish line, but sadly they didn't. I know you are very thorough which makes a huge project even bigger. If you need some ideas, I am happy to help. An idea that I have for years myself, is instead of (re)creating countries, you could leave every league and nation in the world intact, but replace each and every cup (including regional, national, international and continental ones) Then Houston Dynamo and Inter Miami play the MLS as normal but qualify for the Viceroyalty of New Spain Cup together with teams from Mexico, Guatemala, etc. Rapid Wien would play normally in the Austrian Bundesliga and would play it's cup vs teams from Budapest, Triëst, etc. Or somekind of Champions League format where teams from the same historical region are always in the same group and in the next round the regional group winners compete for the title of the best team in history. It's a shame I don't have much experience in the editor, as I would love to have something like this.

Back in the day there were some very interesting projects on these forums back in the day where people like @sakpase and @Booooooom started massive edits with entirely changed continents. Perhaps you could find some inspiration for new cups/nations/regions there: See for example

I don't quite understand what you mean exactly. Found another buggy cup. The Gothia Cup is now missing 3 years in between so I removed it from the folder and started a new holiday test. Edit: Seems the save is stable until around 2115.

That could be the case indeed. Strange thing is that they do play a CAF Supercup every year. I have settled in only playing 2 sub-regional Champions Leagues in Asia (East and Southeast) and none in Africa, because it kept messing it up. Though I've loaded every African nation, I have only loaded a handful of cups (WAFU nations and youth) and ARAB CL. Another thing I found out that some of the youth tournaments would mess up the UEFA Supercup, and the wrong teams are picked This happens when they are loaded first (filenames starting with numbers). When I remove those numbers in the filenames, and thus force the game to load them later down the line, the UEFA Supercup picks the right teams again. I am at my 27th test right now and it seems I have found a sweet spot between loading as much as I can and keeping the FM world intact. With 269 files loaded... 😅

How can I find out which of my editor files is causing the problems? I have hundreds of editor files loaded into my savegame. Some of them are just optical, changing some names or nationalities, some are for gameplay like injuries, or updates like transfers and activating nations. So far so good, those files all work together. Now I have also added a lot of new/old/defunct competitions. There are mulitple competitions that act weird (like missing every 4th year) or not getting played at all, but 2 things that get messed up almost all the time. That being the Viareggio Tournament which becomes bi-annual instead of anual. And the same goes for the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederations League. For every test where I remove files that behave strangely my FM acts more normal, I know it is the risk of loading so many files, but as they all do their seperate things, I hoped they could work together. Can someone tell me some pointers to look for to see which file is causing which problem? I suspected that if the CAF competitions are messed up, it must have something to do with the sub-regional champions leagues that I downloaded. But as the Viareggio is for worldwide teams, I don't know if that is caused by the same, or by other files. For each test I run the game for a few hours to get at least to 2030 to see if everything works, but sometimes I leave it running longer. I am at test 15 right now. What can I do to speed the process up, or to pinpoint the incompatible file?

Apartheid was a very very afwful part of history indeed. I just learned about the Bantu nations and previous Dominion names as I checked wikipedia for the nations there were there in 1980-1990. So I was curious to find out how that part was treated and I think you are absolutely right to avoid that at all.

@Wolf_pd That still is huge. Will there be changes in Europe and other continents too, like different names/states such as Mindanao (Phillipines), the different Yemen nations, Republic of China, South Africa, People's Republic of Kampuchea, Dominion of Canada, Dominion of New Zealand, Polish Peoples Republic, Zaire, Transnistria?

Wow, that's enormous. With Reiver's and everything that needs to be done, do you suspect to go to 1 million? Keep up the good work 😁👍

@FootballHedgehog I was looking for such a pack for months! Thanks for making this marvellous addition 😁 Will these cups replace existing ones in the 22.4 game or might give troubles with some fixtures or qualifications, or will I be able to use them alongside eachother? Do you have plans for making this for FM23 too? I did a lot of simulations (atm 14) and found out that most additions work perfectly, but not all combinations go well. Oceania: I can't get the OFC Super Cup to work. It always keeps hanging at "planned for 2022", but is never played. The Polynesian Super Cup and Melanesian Super Cup are played every year, except for a 4 year interval. There are no tournaments in 2023, 2027, etc Africa: If I add the Champions Leagues of the African sub-regions, the CAF CL and CAF Confederations Cup will only play every other year, instead of every year. Haven't found out yet which file is causing this, so needs some further testing. Strange thing is, the CAF Super Cup is played every year. Europe: The Viareggio tournament should be played every year, if I look at Wikipedia, but some file is causing it to play only every other year. Have you got any ideas what I can do to solve this?

@Passion4FM A bunch of players is already in the 22.4 database (like Lacey, Bellingham, Endrick, Emery, Ibrahimovic, etc) What will happen to them? Will they appear 2 times in the game? Or are they just the same players, but updated?

No worries! Thanks for wanting to help 😊👍

You're welcome. There are already lots of databases for FM23 for all kinds of nations. Hope you'll find the one that suits your wishes.

@XaW Thanks for trying @fw190a8 thanks! Won't that give me exact the same problems, or will that be easily backwards converted? In this case it won't really matter if the league isn't as real as possible. I just want to do do a long term save where I win as many nations as possible and that includes Aland (autonomous region of Finland, with its teams playing in Finland and Sweden) and Liechtenstein (only Vaduz in vanilla FM, but more teams in Swiss lower divisions). If it is easier to just activate all the necessary levels in those 3 nations to get the lower leagues, it is fine too. Edit: found a Swiss league made by Liechtenstein Researcher JBZ and found Sweden and Finland in another megapack. Gonna try those 3 first, and hope it works.

Won't that mess up the entire Fifa World Cup and Fifa Club World Cup, when those continents don't exist as seperate entities anymore?
