Dear managers,
The season update is completed!
As you all know, we took over the game.That costed us some time to get to know the code.
We still cannot make significant changes to the code yet, but we can make some adjustments.
The adjustments we made during this seasonupdate are:
*Increased weekly sponsor money (a bonus added to the regular sponsormoney depending on the current division level)
*Skill boundaries between 0 and 20 will be respected
*Maximum Age for under 21 races is now 21, Maximum Age for (White)Youngster Jerseys is now 25 (we cannot create an extra category yet because that means a significant change to the code which we can not do yet, but we can change existing categories)
*(White)Youngster jersey 1-5 will receive money (same amount as the mountainjersey) and generate extra supporters
*Cyclist aged 21 and under can no longer create disappointed supporters when they have bad results (this should fix a bug)
*Skillincrease in leadership for leaders above 35 is no longer possible (so leadership will decrease like other skills do)
*Retirement chance in the season update 36:1/18, 37:2/18, 38:4/18, 39:8/18, 40:16/18
* Balance/steering for the youthscout pull is adjusted in way that there will be a bigger chance for the middle numbers (a 10 - trainer will generate more cyclist with 4-6 then 0-2 or 8-10)
*Pricemoney payed for TTT is now multiplied by 5
*The wage of the youthscout has decreased
We would like to mention that this is the first time we made these changes. Schizm had to find his own way to the code and did a perfect job of doing that. Nevertheless it is the first time so we cannot guarantee that everything goes perfectly as planned.
If you run into things that are not according to the points as mentioned above, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We now had the time to learn more about the game.
You can expect more announcements shortly with our plans and what you as managers can do for you.
We are going to make this game grow but therefor we need your help!
For now we wish you a lot of fun with the new season and the new calender. Please let us know your experiences with the changes and also mention new ideas!
edit : clarified some changes based on the questions we got.
edit : NEW UPDATE CHANGES IN EFFECT ON DECEMBER 10, 2017 :
Before the last weekupdate some (small) changes were implemented to the engine and the website :
- It has come to our attention that retired cyclists who where on the transferlist during the season update (re)joined their teams on the transferdeadline. This will no longer be possible and cyclists who choose to retire will now be "injured" for a long time to avoid further possible loopholes.
- A user brought to my attention that there was a trick to get more then 10 investments, this exploit has also been fixed.
- Races from next year appearing na longer appear on the calendar at the start of the season.
- Chances on retirement where increased to x/16 instead of x/18 (where x is 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 depending on the age after the season update being 36, 37, 38, 39 or 40+)
- Cyclists who train fitness have a higher chance on injuries
- Cyclists decrease in a random skill when trained fitness
The effects of fitness training have been implemented already but 100 times weaker as was intented, after the update of January 21 we will change that to 10 times and by February 21 this change will be in full effect. This will give people some time to adjust their tactics to the new situation.
