Repeated cities during league creation

jbsnadb · 07-06-2006, 02:49 AM

I thought this had been fixed with the first patch, but I could be mistaken.

Just to fool around, I started to create an English League of 16 teams. I randomized cities a few times, since I felt there should be a team in London, and once one showed up, there are two teams in the league in Stroke on Trent!

I'm not talking about one major league, one minor league squad. Both are in the majors. Being an American, i had never heard of such a city, and I am pretty sure that it would be asking a lot for it's fair citizens to support not one , but two major league teams.

dola,

Didn't look closely enough. There are THREE teams from Stroke on Trent, including two in one division.

While it's more likely that there would be several teams in London, it's typical of European soccer leagues that each city has multiple teams. Larger cities have scores of teams spread across many levels of football. In the top level of soccer there are 6-8 teams from London, several from Manchester, several from many other cities.

Unless your league is a North American style closed league with a virtual monopoly and strictly enforced territorial rights it would be odd for a city to not have more than one team.

But, yea, it's strange that Stroke on Trent got three teams while mucn larger cities got one or none. Maybe it's just a baseball hotbed?

The repeated cities issue was raised once again in the last two days to Markus. He tweaked it. Results remain to be seen.
