Suggested, from teams that appeared in 1871 or 1872, and were the most long-lived:
"AL"
New York Mutuals (NY2)
Baltimore Canaries (BL1)
Washington Olympics (WS3)
Philadelphia Athletics (PH1)
"NL"
Boston Red Stockings (BS1)
Brooklyn Atlantics (BR2)
Washington Nationals (WS4)
Chicago White Stockings (CH1)
Any objections/suggestions?
Other suggested factors: please feel free to give alternatives, my historical knowledge is minimal.
Batter ageing speed 1.100. Seemed to work reasonably well on my first test, especially for this era. Perhaps should be increased slightly later. Pitcher ageing speed 0.900. Perhaps increased a little later.
Scouting off. Coaches on. Untick hidden players. Trading frequency low, disable injuries (and set to very low/low fatigue). Ratings 1-20. 20 man roster, disable expanded, disable secondary, enable trading, disable free agency (?).
Strategies (in order): v.rare, v.rare, v.high, 3-man, v.rare, rare, rare, often, often, often. ?
Creation modifiers - reserves/backups for first seasons: suggest 1/4 of the imported modifiers for 1871, to keep balance.
Need suggestions for: Financial coefficient and any other financials changes (cash max, revenue sharing), all star game.
