There was too much of this junk in CORE1 IMO, and there's no reason to waste CPU cycles on any of this. There's far more important stuff that could be put in.

Incidentally, what was the point of posting this worthless thread in SIX DIFFERENT SUBFORUMS?

 

[JRaup]

Well, I believe many of tehse will make it into CORE. However, to appease those who oh so hate flavor in their games, there will be an option not to use them.

If you'll include sports events (which will porbably decrease diss.) is it possible to make them somehow random. For instance you can have football WC finals but instead of Italy winning it every time there would be a 20% chance that Germany or UK or smbd else would have won? Same goes for other sports events

 

[Ghost_dk]

actually most of these sports events will most likely have no effect at all

I think it is kind of silly to have the events with no effect at all. Maybe two or three events in the whole game that were significant enough to include, The olympics in 1936 , WC in 1938 (Spricar: Which the UK could't have won because they werent in the compitition), and a baseball one preferably the desicion to continue the league during the war years.

Howeve if there arent gonna be any consequences to these events, they might as well be scrapped.

well, qual. for 1938 finals started in 1936 so england could have qualified for them...

The regular championships and such probably will have little to no effect. I doubt we'll have "random" winners each year/cycle.

Some events will have an impact though. An event like the decision to continue on the Baseball season in the USA had a huge impact on domestic tranquility, plus a good propaganda campaign, even though the majority of teh stars had enlisted.

Suprisingly England did not compete in the early WC at all as I understand it.
You can check the records here they say that England etc were not even part of the qualifying stages.
England didnt compete in the WC until 1950 (When they were eliminated from the tournament by the US)

 

[Sekenr]

How about Formula 1 (or what was it called back than) racing in Germany ?
EDIT: I think its rather important as it was a show of German design and technology, the competition was mostly between Porche and Daimler teams, leaving Italians and the British behind

sorry, you are right. They were overconfident so they didn't want to play as they were sure they can beat anyone. But in 1950 they played against usa and lost 10-1. Not a single english news agency believed that so first they all reported that England won 0-1...

News Flash!!

important sporting events lessens dissent in host countries, improves infra in host cities...

epidemics and natural disasters have effect on infra, dissent, economy...

imagine a 7.1 magnitude earthquake hitting washington..what do u think the effect would be? :rofl:

 

[Ghost_dk]

your right as far as the olymics and similar scope events go and those will still have some effect but its not like a lot of roads get paved for a boxing or baseball match and the dissent(happiness) change due to the result is usually very limited and in most cases very short lived.

 

[unmerged(19841)]

such event s still add a nice flaver to the game,but don't make major changes to it

which influence will have sports results on war ? none
btw, disasters could be a good idea, but only big ones like a volcano eruption or a big typhoon ...

 

[unmerged(19841)]

on the sporting events you could have event with differnt winner and and then sleep the event with the real winner have them fire buy randem with the real winner winning 75% of the time. distater events should aslo have a chane for a diffent historical out come such as hurrican switch direction miss the keys and slam in to mexico or something like that but i am i faver of such events the more the better

But I pointed to sport event that was related to war. Didn't anyone notice...

England lost 1-0 to USA (there's only ever been 1 game in the history of the World Cup finals when someone scored 10 goals - Hungary 10 El Salvador 1 1978 IIRC). I think you are correct about the press though.

The press initially reported that England won 10-1.

Hmmm..You listed the NFL, but neglected to include the only sport that actually had an effect on American morale during WWII, baseball. The NFL, founded in 1920, wasn’t that popular during the 40’s. In fact, (American) football was a distant third in terms of popularity behind baseball & boxing at that time in American popular culture (that would only change in the 1950’s & 60’s).

Strictly from an American perspective, you might have a case, however, for baseball giving a *slight* boost to American morale. Following Pearl Harbor, the Commissioner of baseball at the time, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, contemplated canceling all subsequent seasons until the war ended. FDR talked him out of it, on the grounds that continuing MLB baseball would be good for American morale and give Americans an added sense of security. FDR was right, and attendance actually increased during the war years as factory workers and soldiers & sailors on furlough packed the ballparks to get their minds off the war.

As far as I know, MLB baseball was the only professional sports league to have continued unabated by any of the major combatants during WWII. Japan’s baseball league was cancelled in 1944-45, and I don’t think the Germans, British, or Soviets continued any of their pro sports leagues during the entirety of the war.
