nine_iron Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Steam Workshop Download Link (v1.07) Alternative Link (v1.06) Logo Pack (v1.00) Brexit is NOT Disabled. I am working on a fix for this now. Going a different route this year, researched from scratch and compiled myself a google sheets ready for launch day! Introducing the nation of the United Counties of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire The A1 will be well travelled in this nation with 84 teams from across Lincs, Hunts and Cambs. Three playable leagues as usual and then an unplayable tier of teams to make up the FA cup numbers and feed the lowest playable. NOTES: - Graphics pack is on the way! Known Errors: (fixed as of 12:30 03-JAN-2020) - Young Player of the Year has wrong maximum age set Suggested Modifications: - Remove Brexit (might affect English players due to max non-EU player rules) - You can enable the 4th league down very easily, just change to active division, add some prize money and ensure promotions/relegation work. (I might post a modified file as an alternate once I test it works. Compatibility - Not compatible with any nations which overwrite CIS. If you like this and want to make one yourself start here: Use this link to download a file to move CIS to Europe and you can edit from there.

Apologies for the slight hijack, but I'm almost finished creating a Yorkshire database (using your previous comments and guides, so thank you!). I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same, you have to manually do certain things like editing the UEFA Nations League, but it seems the same. My problems are fairly minor, such as my press officer having an Asian name. What's your plan with nationalities? I've edited all Yorkshire born players to have it as their 2nd nationality for example. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I move East German teams to East Germany in FM16 I ended having to duplicate them which adds a whole load of other challenges Sadly due to family illness this project has been delayed. The good news is I have a beta release ready for the end of today ready for playtesting. I don't do full playtests myself anymore as I have done them many times over previous FM versions and feel quite confident in my setup. I have simmed 1 season multiple times, 2-3 seasons a couple and done a 5 season stability test. There will be bugs but hopefully not anything gamebreaking.

Wolf_pd Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 GIMP works well. I used a trial version of Onesize to resize photos for posters. That's great stuff, but very expensive outside the trial period, unless you would use something much more extensive. Irfanview is said to work as well, but haven't used that one for a while.

sc91 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 A few obvious questions but would these players have dual nationality with England and would this lead them to rejecting a call up to the national side? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 There is a number of dual nationals but all English only players are now Lincs & Cambs (I came up with “Lintabrigian” to describe the new locals. Mix of Cantabrigian and Lincoln (Lindum). If someone was Scottish/English they are now Scottish/Lintab. The only exception is any player who has caps for England in any form, they should retain England as 1st nation and Lintab as second. I have also of course tried to retain declaration for other nations where reasonable. The second nationality helps towards league rules around minimum number of nationals in a team. My aim was to give the opportunity to switch to my nation where appropriate and not force anything unless already indicated via caps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsi9958 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hi Nine Iron. Congratulations for your work. I created my own new nations (Brittany and Corsica), and I have some problems. First, in some of my saves, I have problems with UEFA coefficients. You mentioned 0.122 could be a good solution : does it work ? I have also an issue with the FIFA ranking : it seems that a victory, for example, gives less points to my new nations than to a classic FIFA nation. So, my new nations have always a very low ranking, even if they qualify for the World Cup or the European championship. Do you have the same problem ? And last problem, which is minor : concerning Brittany, my regens first names are strange. They are often Italian, Spanish or from other European countries. While their family names are French, so ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While their family names are French, so ok. I think .200 works, TBH I tried random numbers that looked right until i got the places I wanted. For Fifa ranking I give my team starting points just under the bottom placed team so they don't have to catch up too much. For names I fill each town with at least 100 names that fit what I want. These players are all retired so make no impact on the gameplay and give a wide variety of names for the game to generate from. Best of luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) I am finding some minor bugs like issues with award names in league 1. Going to make some tweaks next time I have free time. So far its amazingly playable and a heck of a lot of fun. Finances need a bit of tweaking down to make it more challenging but maybe that is because I don't have any big costs yet as wage budget is under 70k a week. Its always hard to balance progressing of the league (more euro cup places etc) and giving teams too much money so finance balancing isnt a challenge. Maybe it will be more challenging in the next few seasons, I make cash buying youngsters cheap and selling high as I have the best coaches in the league Edited March 1, 2020 by nine_iron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdsqueadly Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi, I tried something similar on FM19, creating a nation with 3 tiers and 2 cups, using the CIS nation and moving another nation to Asia (I moved Turkey so I could nick their CL and EL places too) but the European Championships stopped working/generating. World Cup and Euro League were largely unaffected though. Confed cup also died but I'm assuming that wont be an issue in FM20. Just wondering if the international comps are all working in your database? If so, I might fork out for FM20 after all as that was my only issue editing in the last one. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdsqueadly Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Ahh excellent, thanks! I might take the plunge after all then - shame the prices have shot up over the weekend!

Teams mostly had them in and the DB has a load which I identified from birth city. All players based in the nation with no birth city also got nationality. Plus I duplicated 100 people for England for each city/town in the nation, I changed the duplicates nationality and city of birth then set them to retired. This gave a huge boost to the name pool! Anyone foreign with enough days soon converted nationality too, the only ones I did were a handful of English people who had their days in nation adjusted so they would change nationality. That I would say is the hardest bit but was time well spent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
