🤝 Alliances and Factions
Alliances and factions allow your promotion to expand beyond its roster and form strategic partnerships, both inside your promotion and with rival promotions.
Factions and Stables
Factions (referred to as stables or alliances within your promotion) are groups of wrestlers aligned to work together under a shared banner (e.g., D-Generation X, nWo).
🛠️ Creating and Editing Factions
- Where to manage: Go to your Promotion Details page and navigate to the Factions tab.
- Setup:
- Give your faction a unique name.
- Select a custom Theme Color (using a Hex code like
#BD34FEor#1FD6F3) to highlight faction members across the roster and booking interfaces. - Select which wrestlers from your active roster will join the faction.
Booking Benefits
- Factions make booking multi-man tag matches and faction-vs-faction feuds easy.
- Members of the same faction share chemistry in storylines and matches, helping to elevate ratings when booked together or in opposition.
🏛️ Inter-Promotion Alliances
Inter-promotion alliances are strategic partnerships formed between different wrestling promotions.
📂 The Alliances Interface
- Where to manage: Go to the Promotions screen and click the Alliances tab.
- If you are not currently in an alliance, you can create one by selecting a name and uploading an optional logo.
- If you are in an alliance, this screen displays your partner promotions, the shared roster, and gives you the ability to invite new members or leave the alliance.
✉️ Invitations and AI Decision Logic
You can invite non-member promotions to join your alliance. AI promotions will decide whether to join based on two main criteria:
- 🗺️ Regional Competition (Base): AI promotions are protective of their local market. If a promotion has the same home region as existing alliance members, it is highly likely to reject the invitation to avoid helping regional competitors. Promotions based in different regions are much more cooperative.
- 📈 Level/Prestige (Size): Promotions prefer partnering with organizations of comparable size. A massive prestige disparity or active competitive level differences (within a level difference of 3) will lead to rejection.
AI promotions also simulate alliance steps weekly (on Mondays) and might invite other non-member AI promotions to join existing alliances.
The Alliance Roster
Alliance partners can share talent by placing them on the Alliance Roster:
- Contributing talent: You can send your own wrestlers to the shared Alliance Roster from the Alliances tab. This makes them available to alliance partners.
- Recalling talent: You can remove your wrestlers from the Alliance Roster at any time.
- AI Contributions: AI members of the alliance will periodically contribute wrestlers from their rosters to the shared pool on a weekly basis.
Roster Contribution Rules
Each member promotion contributes wrestlers across fixed role slots that reflect the balance of a well-rounded card:
| Slot | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Face Upper Card | 1 | Top babyface — main event calibre |
| Heel Upper Card | 1 | Top heel — main event calibre |
| Tag Team | 1 | A complete tag team contributes as one slot |
| Male Mid-Card | 1 | Solid singles worker |
| Female Mid-Card | 1 | Solid singles worker |
| Lower Card | 5 | Preference given to stable members |
Booking restrictions: A wrestler in the Alliance Pool can only be booked on shows where their home promotion has been invited. If their home promotion has not accepted a show invite, that wrestler appears as unavailable for that card.
Roster rotation: You can manually rotate your contributed wrestlers once per in-game month using the Rotate Roster button on the Alliances tab. Rotation shuffles which of your wrestlers fill each role slot. After rotating, the button is locked until the next calendar month.
AI auto-rotation: When an AI promotion's contributed wrestler is injured and unable to compete, that promotion automatically swaps in a healthy replacement. You will receive an inbox notification whenever an AI partner auto-rotates their contribution.
Leaving an alliance: When your promotion leaves an alliance, all of your wrestlers in the shared roster return home immediately with their original scouted and unscouted stats intact.
Cross-Promotion Shows
Co-promote special shows with your alliance partners to put on historic crossover events.
Scheduling a Joint Show
- Open the details page for any upcoming weekly show or PPV event, or navigate to it via the Calendar or Event Detail screen.
- Click the Handshake (Show Invite) button.
- Select an eligible alliance partner to invite.
- AI Acceptance: The invited promotion will automatically accept the invitation as long as they do not have a scheduling conflict (i.e. they do not have their own show scheduled on the same date).
Booking Guest Talent
Once an alliance partner accepts your invitation, their contributed wrestlers on the shared Alliance Roster become available in your booking sheet, allowing you to create unique dream matches on your card.
Alliance Championships
Championships can be marked as Alliance Titles to elevate their status across the entire partnership:
- Go to any championship's details screen and click Mark as Alliance Title.
- This applies a prestigious Alliance Title badge to the belt, indicating it is shared across all member promotions.
- Use Alliance Titles as the centerpiece of cross-promotional shows and co-funded storylines to maximize match ratings and show fallout.
