Ultimate list of managable nations in CM4
I'm running every league on the game in full detail and a large database with a ddt file to retain players for every club in the game.

When the game's created I'll post a list of every country I can take over at the start of the game.

I expect it to take about 1-2 hours to create - then I have to check over 200 nations, so I could be some time!

I think it would take more than 1-2 hours with RETAIN_PLAYERS...

It is possible to manage Canada, using Retain_Players functions, as we've proved more than once - thanks especially to vajracchedika, who did so much work to make that possible. There's a thread about it from a couple of months back.

Well the retain file I'm using didn't get enough Canadians in.

Still not a bad selection on the whole though!

93 Smile to 120 Frown = 43.7% of countries managable

Yah, it's got to be done specially, as many of the players are in unplayable teams. I suspect Jamaica would be in the same boat, if someone wanted to do the work.

Thanks, though, LUFan2, that's a great little list. I would suggest that Gavin stick it into the World Club Guide...Smile

I have a copy of the savegame saved at the "Add Manager 1" stage. If someone has 166MB of webspace and would like to host it, e-mail me.

Processing times are slow though, I'm managing Scarborough and it took me over an hour to process an 8 day gap between games.

When you say these are managerable does this mean they are during the game? and how do I know if say the manager from senagal is sacked?

The key to managing any country is to maximise the number of that country's players in the database when the game is initialised.

There are 3 main ways of doing this.

1) Run a large database
2) Run as many leagues as you can which have players from your chosen country playing there
3) Use a retain players ddt file (do a search if you would like to know more) which retains players for ALL clubs from the country of your choice, AND any clubs which have players of the nationality concerned.
