As a Canadian, I'm tired of my country's national team embarrasssing itself by losing to Central American and Caribbean minnows (even if our good friends the Americans decided to join us this year). I don't remember exactly what goes into talent generation into this game, so I'll just ask that you do whatever you think appropriate to increase Canada's chances of qualifying for a World Cup down the road. In the FM14 LP I had a similar idea if I won a second time to your Canada impovement which was to give them a bunch of wonderkids named after Canadian hockey players or wrestlers. Not sure how much that would help them though. Dreamsicle fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Jan 5, 2018 |

(Amp link because of issues with main site) https://www.google.com/amp/www.thehighertempopress.com/2017/05/fm17-guide-brexit/amp/ Interesting. I haven't actually played an FM game since 14 so I didn't know about any of this. I'd hope there would be an option to pick one scenario or another if you want to, though. Dreamsicle posted:In the FM14 LP I had a similar idea if I won a second time to your Canada impovement which was to give them a bunch of wonderkids named after Canadian hockey players or wrestlers. Not sure how much that would help them though. Yeah, I figured I'd leave it up to Habeas's discretion for how to do it in a way that would help them without being too weird or silly. If he prefers to just make some wonderkids that's fine with me, as is changing variables so that they'll get more good kids to spawn as the game goes on. Or some combination, or something else entirely, whatever. Back in FM14 I remember changing a couple numbers somewhere was eventually enough (after a decade or so, I think) to have Canada make the World Cup, but even then they were extremely shallow because despite having a couple stars (including one who broke the EPL record for goals in a season while playing for me) there just weren't that many Canadian players being generated. I figure Habeas knows the game better than I do, so I'll leave the details up to him.

Habeas, out of curiosity, does FM18 have the SSV Jahn Regensburg in its files? They were recently promoted (back) to 2nd Bundesliga.

Doesn't Football Manager go down to like the 4th or 5th Liga in Germany? I have no particular opinion on what team we should play, though I would find it interesting to take a team from a city that has like three different teams or so and making it the dominant one, though I'm not coming up with an example that would be sufficiently crazy to pull off apart from bringing 1860 München back from the depths of the Regionalliga.

In producing Football Manager 17+, Sports Interactive undertook probably the largest amount of analysis, research and reasoned speculation ever done by a single organisation into the effects of Brexit, including the actual UK Government, whose in-depth industrial analysis contains passages such as "we've investigated the aviation sector and discovered that Airbus make planes". If it were feasible I might've asked to see a file where we play another low-league English team in a nuclear Brexit scenario in which the UK dives off a cliff with no deal and Scotland and Northern Ireland both break off, climbing the ladder as per usual but with the leagues in chaos from all the sudden deportations. But otherwise I'm good with whatever, really.

So I have not yet read the thread, since I literally just found it, but I wanted to pop and swear at you a bit habeasdorkus. Rereading you old LP over the summer made my dumbass pick up 2017 during the summer sale, despite the fact that I don't know a single goddamn thing about soccer. I spent some time trying to learn the game, bounced off and failed, tried again and failed that time too. I was just about to clear it off my HD to make space. And now this!

I stumbled across the FM14 LP about halfway through and enjoyed the hell out of it. I know almost nothing about football myself but I will most definitely be following along with this. Also, calling it now that once you become the God Queen of San Marino that you’ll be managing every game from the Iron Throne.

Is it to late to make my case for Queen's Park? Take control of Scotland's oldest football club, return her to former glory and piss off both Celtic and Rangers fans by making this (hardcoded amateur) club Glasgow's biggest. They start with a 52k seater stadium (Hampden Park, which is also Scotland's national grounds) that usually only draws a few hundred fans at game start.

habeasdorkus posted:The story behind FC United of Manchester is amazing, it's the fans who were pissed off at the sale of the club to American owners who decided to literally take their ball and go home. That's a strong choice, especially as they're already a fan trust so board elections will happen on the regular. that's so good I'm putting my vote on that, if there's still time. Rise to the top and Manchester United be the weird sounding one.

Hell yes, good to see you back and lping FM again! The San Marino challenge sounds fun and sufficiently challenging, but a part of me would have liked us to play as one of these computer generated english teams. Seeing the meteoric rise of Falmoughbasgagliell & Tuwrove Fore or witnessing the storied derby between Sheat and Farton would have been great.

Dreamsicle posted:I really like San Marino since we've been in England before, but AFAIK there's one less trophy to win in Serie A and the Coppa Italia isn't as cool as the FA Cup to me. It's a tough pick. Too late for this LP, but for France there's Red Star FC in Paris. Second oldest club in France, founded by Jules Rimet (indeed, that Jules Rimet, the guy the original World Cup trophy was named for), working-class club based in North Paris. On an unrelated note, super excited for this Habe!

So I impulse bought FM18 and now I'm tempted to play San Marino myself and follow along a bit (I'll probably cheat and give myself a Sugar Daddy owner, though). What mod are you using to unlock Serie D, Habeas (or anyone else who knows)? The ones on the Steam workshop apparently don't work (according to the comments, at least). Also, this manager appearance feature seems really half-assed. How do you manage not to include an option for black hair?

Prologue the Third: Over the Rainbow June 26, 2017  Boston June 26, 2017 (THE COACH sits before a public terminal at the BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY, googling frantically)  : (perplexedly) What the heck, the only result for Tackleford leads to a danged webcomic? I am definitely not in Kansas anymore. : (cleverly) Well, at least I can get a jump on signing ol' Meteor, he should still be at AIS.: (bemusedly) He doesn't exist either? Wait... What about Joaquin Morales? : (Disconcertedly) No? Huh. But this Lionel Messi hombre certainly seems to bear more than a passing resemblance, though.: (techily) Well, this is frustrating.(A SHADOWED FIGURE appears in a PUFF OF SMOKE behind THE COACH, causing a LIBRARIAN to shush them)  : (tediously) I didn't say where you'd get a second chance, now did I? Also, it wouldn't be sporting for you to know where all of the best young players are, would it?: (grumpily) Fine, but how do you expect me to get a job like this? I don't even have a birth certificate.: (coyly) Oh, I have some favors I can call in.(The two vanish in a PUFF OF SMOKE, as a LIBRARIAN shushes them again)  The Offices of San Marino Calcio June 26, 2017 (A SHADOWED FIGURE and THE COACH appear in the office of IL PRESIDENTE, who jumps at the sudden PUFF OF SMOKE)  : (speaking Italianly) Madonna! What are you doing back here, stronzo?!: (imperiously) I told you, I scratch your back, you scratch mine. It's time to pay up. My demand is... that you make this woman your manager.: (confusedly) What? That's it? : That and give her the same rope you would any other manager, and remember that I'll know if you don't.: (interjectingly) Uh, could you all speak American? I really can't understand you?: (musingly) Huh, installing this random puttana will get me fired, but for the sake of my soul, how can I not?: (affrontedly) Hey! I know enough Spanish to know you just called me a bitch! gently caress you, buddy!: (smarmily) Oh, I mean no offense, principessa.: (devilishly) This will be so much fun to watch.(The SHADOWED FIGURE disappears, leaving behind THE COACH and yet another sulfurous PUFF OF SMOKE, somewhere in BOSTON a LIBRARIAN has the urge to shush yet again) : (sighingly) I hate it when he does that.: (agreeingly) Si.

I'm very excited for this. I've been playing San Marino myself (in easy mode, because I gave myself a sugar daddy owner) and boy are the Serie D youth requirements brutal. Have fun having at least 4 U-20, 3 U-19, and 1 U-18 player on the pitch at all times.
