[tm1681]

Bad news: I've run into some issues with the save for this in-game universe that go all the way back to when I imported it from OOTP 23. I want to go to a back up, but the last time I did that I lost 25 years of leaderboard data.

So, I think I'm going to start this universe over.

The good news: I figured out a way to change the in-game database (Explore World) around via changing nations' Baseball Quality so that I can have a regional league where all the players are from the Northeast & New England while also having foreigners enter in a way that models 1800s immigration patterns.

Also, a major issue with the current in-game universe was that the older version of the game engine would create players in the 1800s such that you'd have entire leagues where about 80% of shortstops and outfielders would rate 70-80 out of 80 at their position. That meant the league leader in WAR pretty much every year was at SS or CF. Thanks to recent patches, that doesn't happen anymore and it should allow for a greater variety of star players.

Finally, I never really touched on the earliest years of baseball in this thread, which are actually some of the most interesting! I'll probably have my tm1681Universe up and going in a couple of days, and since I have all the logos and uniforms pre-made up to 1905 it should go a lot faster.
