OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Fictional League Ideas...MLB & RISK Collide!

OOTP Baseball 17 will be my first go around with the game, and since I have worn out the 2016 demo, I couldn't help myself but to get going on my idea for a Fictional League.

I'm a huge fan or both Risk and Axis & Allies, and decided that perhaps a game of World Domination - Baseball style! would be fun.

My league is going to consist of teams made up from the 42 territories found on the original Risk board (some name variations have occured over the years)

It does feel a little odd since the United States only takes up 3 territories on the map, and Canada for example, has 4. But that's the price of doing business I suppose.

There will be 6 divisions, with 7 teams in each. Most of team names have some significance or wildlife relevance to the geographic region. But are really as a result of the wonderful 5000+ logos that are available on these forums. Kudos to this community for having such luxury items. Some of them cross over continents. They are as follows.

GREAT WHITE NORTH DIVISION

Alaska Klondikes
Northwest Territory Mounties
Greenland Glaciers
Alberta Stampede
Ontario Lynx
Quebec Crazies (based on the logo set I downloaded, I had to use it)
Iceland Snow Owls (the bird that gets whacked in Dumb and Dumber)

PANAMA CANAL DIVISION

Western United States Bandits
Eastern United States Freedom
Central America Border Cats
Venezuela Jaguars
Brazil Beachbums
Peru Predators
Argentina Cows

EIFFEL TOWER DIVISION

Great Britain Revolution
Western Europe Conquistadors
Southern Europe Spartans
Northern Europe North Stars
Ukraine Power
Scandinavia Vikings
Afghanistan Iron Camels

SERENGETI DIVISION

North Africa Sunrays
Egypt Pharoahs
East Africa Lions
Congo Gorillas
South Africa Storm
Madagascar Islanders
Middle East Drillers

RED SQUARE DIVISION

Ural Cossacks
Siberia Huskies
Yakutsk Ice Cats
Kamchatka Seals
Irkutsk Wolverines
Mongolia Barbarians
Japan Ninjas

OUTBACK DIVISION

Eastern Australia Surfers
Western Australia Koalas
New Guinea Rainmen
Indonesia Rhinos
Siam Twins
China Dragons
India Cobras

I'm really looking forward to this. I'm going to shoot for 4 levels of minors, so I'll need 168 total minor league teams to go with 140 feeder teams.

Will all of my minor league teams need to come from North America? Or can you set up minor league franchises in Asia, Europe, etc. ?

I'm interested to hear about any other fictional league ideas for OOTP 17.

If there is already a thread for this I apologize.... this game can't come soon enough!!
