Warrior General Games

Looks good.

One question though concerning the ways to get to 30 career boosts.

If 5 boosts pre-first season plus 4 seasons of 5 boosts (20) plus 5 boost pre-fifth season = 30 boosts,
does that mean if a player doesn't do those pre-first season boosts, he won't be able to get to 30?

Not having extra make-up boosts available at the end will affect build strategies.
(I too am not on Discord. Maybe this was addressed there)

There isn't much more on Discord than what Ryan just posted.
It is possible that an extra season's set of boosts will be given at the end of the build, like we have now, but that hasn't been discussed.

Just read the announcement but out of town at the moment. On discord (I believe) Bort mentioned about shortening the off season at one time but didn’t see it in the announcement. Has he said that the shortened season is going to happen in discord?

Hasn't been mentioned, however slugheads plan did incorporate 4 day offseason/preseason

Wonder if those first 5 boosts should apply to players created in offseason or preseason. Rather than someone boosting to Lvl 11 before games are even played.

As per the announcement:
Players created under the new system will also simply gain all offseason training points in a lump sum at the start of offseason (or on creation if created during offseason), instead of TP per day, so that we don't have to worry about varying the length of offseason or preseason and there's less "perfect day" moments for player creation. This has been balanced around an expected offseason/preseason of 9 total days. The training script will handle auto-training for more than 2 training points, to help keep it simple for everyone.

So I would expect this to mean 9 IRL days for off/preseason.

Will there be changes to the stadium building process to speed it up?
Will the price for owning a team be adjusted to align with the new player prices?

Sweet! Infodump from Bort let's gooooooooooo!

Thanks for showing me that, I missed it when reading

OK, so SUPER caveats here, before skipping to the bottom of the post to the link to the partially updated VPB I just kludged:

Also, EDIT - I updated to version 7.0 (at the same link below) just now, which will likely be the last one I do.
PLEASE CHOOSE DAY 40 TO START YOUR NEW DOT TO ENSURE THE EXACT TRAINING POINT MATCH


1. Bort's description doesn't go into every tiniest detail of the build process, so I'm just going off of his statement that the 4-season build process that I had posted was the basis for what he is going with.
2. IF that is so, this "updated" virtual player builder SHOULD be somewhat useful for looking at what the process is going to look like, nuts and bolts wise, for building dots under the new system.
3. VA xp and VA points are now updated, and should get you to 72 VP just as we get now.
4. The bonus token figuring and the functionality to stop training at a certain level to where you can still reach it with light training only should all be fixed now.
5. You start with 5 boosts available, and then adds 5 boosts at rollover to season 1, just as it will actually do. It should now automatically "get rid" of any of those 5 initial boosts you do not use when the first season rolls over to day 1, as Bort has said it will continue to do.

Version 7.0 is age-based instead of level based, which means you should end up with 72 veteran points no matter if/when you boost or don't boost up the ladder.

Anyway, if you want to play around with this, here it is. You'll probably have to disable your current VPB that's running, if you have one, or else it will conflict with this one, or maybe there will be 2 different buttons for them, I'm not sure. I would just disable the other one. And, don't use a player's current build, because that would be useless, do the reset option.

PLEASE POST OR PM ME IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THAT YOU FIND. I don't want misleading stuff out here just because I'm trying to get a VPB working for all of us.

KNOWN ISSUES:
1. The "Previous Day" button is back and working, after I made some more changes to it. The "Next Day" bug has not resurfaced.
2. While it may let you generate a key to the build, the button to "Load" a previously generated key is missing, for some reason, so the key is useless. I didn't change anything there, but haven't used that key/resume build function in some years, so I don't know if it was working before or not, I assume it was. Anyway, it doesn't work in this current updated VPB.

3. VA xp and VA points are not messed with/fixed yet, so ignore them!
4. I don't believe the remaining bonus points available/desired is right, I didn't try to mess with it yet, so don't buy into that either.
5. I didn't figure out how to simulate the "holding on to all season zero boosts until day 0 of season 1" thing that we got to do this season, so if you're simulating a dot you want to get to level 79, then boost it 5 levels before season zero rolls over to day -4 of season 1. It MAY be that the updated VPB will let you have 5 "extra" boosts to make those up at the end, but I'm not sure of that yet.

Anyway, if you want to play around with this, here it is.

I'm just trying to chip in where I can to make sure there's a GLB for me to play going forward.
