I think I did a post on that last year after a question. Search for permit and see if something comes up. It’s a specific screen in advanced rules so does need editing those, but since it is contained on one screen, it isn’t that hard.

The Bosman verdict can be removed without issue. The Iron Curtain does so. I am contemplating whether to remove the Bosman verdict completely, or partially, as the original claim that Bosman put down with Belgian courts was smaller than what was eventually decided. Also, there is also the Kolpak ruling which has more impact.

Oh, there are many many errors. I did some quick googling and wikipedia-ing in native languages and you find a treasure trove of shenanigans

Congo Free State doesn’t happen, that’s the good news. It still will get messy, that’s the bad news.

There is a pc/laptop thread where you can post what you think you need and the people there will be able to point you towards a laptop that will run the game and editor quite nicely. Since that thread is full of good advice best to ask there.

On a sidenote, I really need to start gathering information on football controversies and see if I can alternate the competition histories as well (first and second level and main cup at most btw). Italy does provide some options for that, but my own Netherlands has some possibilities too.

Impressive beard, but no, he is not involved. Not that his absence makes things better in the long run. But I am happy to report this mass murderer disappears from history.

You are right on pointing out the European influence on the rest of the world, that's why my focus is on getting Europe in order and it needs to be done while keeping in mind the effect on the rest of the world. For instance, I already have made one big change in Europe which has major implications for central Africa. At the same time, that European change and the knockon effect of it, does open up a road for changes in that central African area which actually do connect it to current day affairs. So two routes, real-life and the alternative history one, end up at the same junction in 2024. It's just that some of the variables have been changed which do change the balance of power in certain ways. PS: The area I am talking about in Africa is the DR Congo, but I am not telling you which butterfly flapped its wings

That is not up to me. I am a moderator and not on SI's payroll. However, if a suggestion is written out, so it's more clear what the requester's intention is, does help.

Currently very busy with some non-FM things, but I will try and write something down to help you early next week. Competition editing isn't very wel suited to 'split assignments' but there might be ways to work out a working situation that could benefit you.

PA cannot go below CA, unless a human error is made when putting the values (there are a few of those in the database). With a generated PA based on the negative values, the value falls in the 160-170 range. Once the PA is set, it's only the CA that will change based on in-game events (training, games, injuries).

Thank you. I understand now.

Way ahead of you The map is slowly forming. It’s rather connecting the dots and the fallout of some decision points. Western Europe is getting close to done. Southern Europe is pretty much done, Southeastern Europe is a bit of a puzzle, Eastern Europe more so, but some suggestions in the thread have been taken on board or send me into a direction to help me slice through the Gordian knot.

Could you please tell where you would want that filter? I see your point, filtering on nation and local regions sometimes isn’t enough, and city is useful, but I am looking for where you want the filter, in a competition screen like the local regions or somewhere else.

Not yet in Asia, but that's because Europe is complicated. Napoleon is a bit of a busy beaver.

Oh cool, we are much more diverse than I thought!

I am probably going to work with overlapping regions which should make the issue less of a problem, but I am aware that this headache exists.

There are teams who work like this and merge files. It depends a bit on what you are doing. Data edits, can be done, but you need to have a 'master file' and add 'delta files' to it every time. If you use two master files and try to merge them, I think that you end up with two (the same) changes on an item. But maybe I am misunderstanding, so if you could elaborate a bit, please do so.

Out of curiosity, a small poll (I can't add one to the thread), where are you from if you want to disclose that? Nation only, no city or more asked. I have seen people from The Netherlands, France, Portugal, Austria, Australia, Norway and the UK (you are allowed to specify that ) in the thread so far. Curious who else are in here.

People, a request and also asking this as a common courtesy, if you are going to change someone's file and you run into issues, please use the file creator's thread for questions. Most editors don't mind and will gladly answer your question. Several good reasons for this: The creator will likely have more insight into the file than other people. It makes people aware whose original file it is you are editing and it is a friendly way of acknowledging the creator and letting other people know the file is usefull and is being used.

For the Iron Curtain for Austria, no, but that's because West Germany got a rebuild, while Austria will remain the same. Austria in the historical divergence sense though, well, they have quite a bit of teams, so there is more than enough opportunity for going much deeper than FM does right now.

Going from Level 1 Germany, Level 2 Oberliga Nord, Level 3 Verbandsliga Niedersachsen, Level 4 Landesliga Niedersachsen Ost, Level 5 Bezirksliga Hannover, Level 6 Kreisliga Hannover. If your local region is Niedersachsen, it means that you still need to check for each team/city, where it is placed in the regional divisions for level 4, 5 and 6. That’s quite a bit of work (which I noticed again when working on West Germany this weekend). Looking it up for each team via Wikipedia isn’t possible, so you need to make a map, combine teams, a lot of admin. Instead of you do it via level 6, the Kreislevel Wikipedia will tell you exactly where you are and going levels up is pretty easy to find.

That might be, but in general clubs won't want to see that, whatever players like or not.

It's possible to do this in the pre-game editor, so the option is already there.
