You could always adjust the ID's over in Dave's file to what I used. That wouldn't be as hard to do as the Igor change. Good Luck

Some of dave's changes involve Russia/Belarus, which would end up being pointless when the two are turned to empty IDs. Yeeaah I feared as much about Igor's, I was hoping for some secret copy&paste knowledge that's not obvious, but I guess gotta go the hard way
Thanks for the reply though!

I've used my file with daveincid's mods with no problem. Pretty sure it wouldn't work with MasterIgor's mod as I have changed the country to USSR. You could get it to work by changing every connection with Russia in his file to read USSR. That's alot of work.

Hey, I've been wanting to use this file with other mods changing Russia (like daveincid's tweaks or MasterIgor's RUS league tweaks), do you know a way to easily make them compatible with this? I'd rather not copy all their changes by hand lol

yepp absolutly, amazing work bro, and it works really well, the russian FA change the russian cup to adjust to the lack of european tournaments, that´s why it gets overload with matches if russian teams comeback to europe. But nothing but thanks to you broo amazing workkk plzz if you can do it in FM25 it will be amazingg. Cheers brooo

@juantemy...Your link was removed, but I found some old files I had. The game still plays out the fixtures despite the backlog. In my opinion, it is the price of success! The rearranged fixtures are sensibly spaced out. The problem with moving the Cup group matches to January and February is it will still clash with European fixtures, and is also smack in the middle of the winter break. You could make a rule that makes any teams playing in Europe enter the Russian Cup after the group phase. That would stop matches getting rearranged as much. Without looking into it, i don't know how that would effect the design of the Russian Cup. Personally I think it works as it is. With Russia not being in real life European football it is hard to guess how the Russian FA would work their cup competition around the new UEFA format.

Broo this is my save game, is mediafire, as a zip, for example in first season i was the champion for the russian league and i went directly to UCL but the 2°,3° teams have to play the qualifications rounds for the european tournament and get mixed with the russian cup, what i try to do was just to move the games from the groups phase of the russian cup to be play in january, frebuary

@juantemy I'll take a look. Any chance you can send me the save game file? I will see alot clearer the problems you're getting. You can upload for free on mediafire, and then send me the link.

thanks broo, amazing work, but can i ask a favor? in 2° season when russian teams plays European Tournament , the fixture of the UCL get mixture with the Russian Cup and is unplayable at the end of the season you play matches after 2 days because all the posponed matches, i try to fix it but i cant, ¿can yo do something'?

@chomping_Blades ... you need the International file in Required Items for Russia to play Internationals

@chomping_Blades Yes Russia can compete in International competitions. And the Russian newgen name question is answered on the first page.

Why does no newgens have Russian Last names?

Will Russia be able to compete in international competitions?

@fretec - just ignore the x and y at the bottom of the list. They relate to the original IDs. If I delete the countries it will mess with the competitions. Russia and Belarus with the new IDs are visible.

Thanks for the feedback.

bro u goated af

Yes Nation ID number 583

Thanks. I'll give it a look. The country I would be editing the regens/newgens for is 'USSR' rather than Russia, right?

Once you have the regens done, you could mass edit them to ensure the ethnicity is for the country they come from.

https://www.reddit.com/r/footballmanagergames/comments/syqc3q/i_created_a_little_program_to_let_you_add_many/

Sure. I would like to edit the regens to be white and with Russian names. I suppose the same for Belarus. If I do that, it will be the perfect mod I have been looking for to get some long term realism - Russia may be banned now but they wont be 10 years from now and it just annoys me doing a long term save with Russia still banned in 2050.

I believe you need to have all players from region, nation etc selected when setting up the database. That increases the player count alot so could impact on the speed depending on your setup. I added 4000 regen names using a handy technique I found on reddit. I can point you in that direction if you want and you can add untold more names. Let me know.

I just added this and simmed through a season. Good news is it works! Great to see Russian teams back in European comps. Only issue I noticed is with regens. They seem to have a lot of mixed names rather than Russian ones and lots of black players who clearly don't look Russian.
Any idea how to change the regens to be realistic?

That's a new one !! A side effect of creating a new nation is the crap regen names that appear, as they have no relation to the country that has been created. I would recommend adding all players to nation in the options when starting a save. I did add over 4000 regen names but I would expect you not to see the benefit of that unless you load all players from nation when you start a save. I really don't know how this is affected by not using real player names.

Why almost every player (I don't use real players, but only regen) named Martin?

Just tidying this up. I had previously posted the incorrect Russian file, which explains why users were having problems with names and squads not showing correctly. All sorted now. Apologies to everyone.
