iDOM 2010 Released!

[galacticgonzo]

Thanks alot. As I said when you were hyping it this will be the first fantasy scenario I actually play and I'm quite excited. I did a quick play through unemployed today just to see how hard it is to find a job (almost as hard as it is in real life) and get a sense of the world and which company I'd like to be. Now that I do and have my preferred promotions narrowed down I'm excited to get playing a real game.

I don't have it open in front of me but something I noticed when I was cruising through. Some promotion (Honolulu Championship Wrestling?)'s description says that its gone more violent and bloody since Abdullah the Butcher took over but the company itself is set to "Pure." Is that a mistake in the data or just an outdated description?

- Honolulu Championship Wrestling has 0 Prestige, maybe something like 55 would be more suited?

[IDOL]

Yeah, noticing that now. They should also be set as Hardcore for style. I will be including that in the 1.1 release.

[TheWho87]

Couple of things I’ve noticed

Overness levels are all over the place, some people who are meant to be headliners in some feds become openers due to their overness levels. On another related note, Hulk Hogan has current popularity in an industry where he killed the WWF, I’m sure Mr. Nanny wasn’t that big a box office smash to make him 100% over for the last 25 years.

Would their be as many wrestlers in the “Entertainer” style if the WWF’s sports entertainment didn’t take off, I know TWE fills the gap of sports entertainment from the 90’s but wouldn’t the traditional wrestling style be more dominant in an NWA run world?

[IDOL]

I'm not going to worry too much about workers being "entertainers" so much. Could you tell me which guys overness levels are messed up? I had already fixed the usual suspects like Benoit, Guerrero, and others who had passed away, but in my test runs I haven't noticed anything that stands out. As for Hogan he was supposed to have gone on to become Arnold schwarzenegger levels of an action star after devoting himself to acting.

[TheWho87]

I only brought it up cause it something I noticed.

Add a referee to CWF and change Mikey Batts to Referee Never, right now he gets turned into their referee after day one.

Also in regards to Hogan even if he became a Schwarzenegger level movie star there is no way he should be more popular than the NWA World champ who should be the most over guy in the game from the start but that’s my view on it.

In regard to the entertainer thing, its just a personal thing and I’m going to fix it myself for my own version anyway, I’ll send you a copy when I’ve finished if you wish to use any of it.

The Horsemen are dead? Looking good so far though. Thanks

[ThrillhouseMAX]

I don't know whether this is intentional or not, but I think there are some teams missing from the data. For instance, Mike and Brett DiBiase are NWA Texas Tag Team Champions but do not have a tag team together.

[IDOL]

I have noticed a couple too. Big Shad and JTG should be listed as "The Brooklyn Boyz" in TWE as well. I'll be sure to look more into this when I put out the 1.1 update.

[ThrillhouseMAX]

Also, the Dallas Sportatorium is located in the Tri-State area in the game.

[Ermac29]

would it be ok if i convert IDOM 2010 to ewr?

Sure

[TheWho87]

Here are a couple renames that might be handy to actually know who these people are since I put them originally under their real names in the database, feel free for any changes these are just their most known gimmicks they have used so far.

Zivile Raudoniene to Aksana

Trinity McCray to Naomi Night

Trenesha Biggers to Rhaka Khan

William Langston to Big E. Langston

Steven Slocum to Jackson Andrews

Anyone else a couple months into this and experiencing problems with a lot of promotions losing their tv deals? In all of my test games, I'd never experienced this, but now in a game I'm playing with TWE I'm into November and RFP has lost both shows, ECW lost theirs, as did a couple promotions in Japan and MCW lost iMPACT. Not sure if this is a fluke occurrence in this one game or if it is happening in others.

[galacticgonzo]

I haven't played yet but I think its a flaw in the TEW 2005 AI as It happens to me all the time in my real world games. Companies lose their deals, sign new deals, lose them within 2-6 months despite ratings that seem fine for their given networks. I don't know what it is. TV networks having a high standard even if its local channels? Promotions deciding its not worth re-upping a show that has 100 viewers and probably costs more to make then it brings in? Or maybe the AI just forgets to re-negotiate deals? I've even seen WWE lose RAW or SD a few times. So I suspect that's just the game.

The solution is making some promotions popularities a bit higher. That's how it's stopped doing that in the TEW2010 version.

[TheWho87]

Set Shinjiro Otani as owner of ZERO1 and Masato Tanaka as Head Booker, right now their is no one in either position, you could also possibly add Nobuhiko Takada for Head Booker just thought Tanaka is still signed and saves adding new people.

[Hailtothechimp]

Was Windy City supposed to be set to Traditonal? I figured they'd be Cutting Edge unless something changed after Punk and everybody else left for the bigger leagues.

On a smaller note, Christin Abel is set to Face when everybody else in the House of Truth is set to Heel.

And on the fun, lol TEW05 front, MVP beat Chris Jericho three days into a new game for the NWA World Heavyweight Title. Good times.

[IDOL]

Windy City should definitely be set to cutting edge.

LOL that's surprising that MVP took the title. Two months into my TWE game, Jericho has defended the belt six times with wins over Angle, Anderson, and Elijah Burke.

[ThrillhouseMAX]

iDOL, would you like help with anything? I'm need something to do when I'm not at work lol.
