I want to thank everyone who has provided support, offers of assistance and encouragement. This project means a lot to me and I am so happy to continue offering it to the EHM community!

Special thanks and credits to:
Archibaulduk, IAmActuallyAnOtter, Vik3tbotselektor, penguinrevolt, Matee, filip85, Seanie, ChaiTiefling, Aahlstroem, Patrick, Matt#5, everyone who continues to provide support and encouragement to keep this going, especially the NTHL crew!

All playable and most background leagues have been updated mostly as of June 30th with this initial release, with more changes still to come.

This is still very much an NHL focused database project, so expect some unrealistic ratings and such in Europe, we still do not have enough researchers to keep those leagues accurate. If you want to offer some of your time to help please DM me!

Known Issues:

- Due to an AI bug I've decided to remove buyout cap hit penalties from the NHL. This will help maintain AI team health long term so they don't continue to sign/buyout players and rack up penalties. More info on this bug here: https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/562580-player-continuously-signed-and-dropped-immediately/
-- This will also help AI GMs get out/around some really bad cap conditions that it's not capable of handling.

- Not all leagues have been tested, please follow the recommended settings and do not select more then 20 total leagues on view only OR enhanced!
- Please report any issues/crashes, please provide saves before crashes.

** HOW TO PLAY WITHOUT GENERATED FUTURE PROSPECTS **

Go to the workshop item folder \Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\301120\1428241604 and copy the contents to a new folder in \Steam\steamapps\common\Eastside Hockey Manager\data\database\[FOLDER NAME]. Whatever you name that folder is how the copied DB will show in the game list. Delete the database.db and rename 'database - no prospects added.db' to 'database.db'.

** FOR FANTASY DRAFT PLAYERS **

- Please delete the sections 'NHL Future Transfers' and 'Cap Penalties' in the extra_config!

** RECOMMENDED SETTINGS **

- Use the United States (July 2nd) start date if GMing in the NHL, if you are GMing in either the KHL or VHL you MUST use the July 2nd start date or the game will crash!
- Recommended to use a FULL DB to retain the most detail. If you still find day-to-day sim speed a little too long for your liking you can lower the DB size even further but keep in mind this will reduce the amount of non-playable clubs/leagues loaded into the simulation.

--- Only select leagues you intend to be a GM in, have an affiliate in, or will heavy scout or develop players, do not select all leagues as this will lead to crashes! THE MAXIMUM COUNT OF SELECTED LEAGUES IS 20!

Also:

- Disable starting wage changes so it forces values set in the database
- Disable Extra Players and Staff
- Retain All Teams

** HOW DO I CHANGE THE SALARY CAP? **

-- DO NOT ASK ME WHAT TO DO IF THIS DOES NOT WORK, EDITING SAVE GAMES OR THE DATABASE INVOLVES THE RISK OF DATA CORRUPTION --
