[FM18] Neloxia: A fictional European Nation (19 levels, 220+ clubs)

[omnivore]

Back in FM16, I shared a league I've shared in previous iterations of FM called Neloxia. Because I released it at the end of FM16 cycle, it ended up being quite popular. After two years, I managed to bring it back to FM18, due to popular demand.

Neloxia's leagues attract talent globally and after a few decades, usually shows up near the top of the world rankings. If you're looking for a challenge, there are lots of them in this universe with 19 different leagues all the way to the amateur division to the LigaPremier to contend with. 

I've been working on this off and on for the past decade, there's a lot of history.

It seems great and the game's already loading for me!

I suppose there are Champions League and Europa league place if a team win the league or something?

 

edit: there seems to be an issue

You have to play it with the 18.0.0 DB, not the 18.3 DB, not sure it'll work with the update.

Also, Neloxia should be in both the Champions League and Europa league. I've successfully simmed to 2030+ overnight without any issues. I've also managed to load the league with classen's world files (over 100 different leagues worldwide) without incident.

how long did it take you to create the database and will you ever create kits and logos for neloxia

I don't have the time to create kits or logos, sadly. If someone else did it, I'd be supportive. I know the colors for the majority of the teams because I've been building this universe for decades. 

In general, it takes me a few weeks to build the DB in its entirety. I usually start small with just one or two levels, then once I get going, I start to add others and then it gets really crazy, I add history (FA Cup history goes back to 1900, for example) and then I stop. This is why I don't release it every year.

Latest edition of the file is updated on both Steam and here. Changes include cloning Neloxian teams and the leagues, so the Gibraltar history no longer shows up in those leagues. 

UNIQUE FEATURES OF NELOXIAN FOOTBALL

• LigaPremier features 5 point wins (I've been doing this for years and I prefer it.)
• Top 8 teams in the LigaPremier compete for a $100m Championship Playoffs at the end of the season.
• Top 3 teams in LigaPremier are relegated to the LigaExcel. 
  • The next 4 worst teams compete in a relegation playoff.
• Top 3 teams in the LigaExcel get promoted.
  • Top 4 teams in the LE play in a promotion playoff.
• Lots of TV money at the top, so good incentives to make it.
• There are a few lower division teams with sugar daddy owners who are yearning to take their clubs to the top, so check them out!

If you get a crash, it's because you're using another custom database that has Gibraltar edited for some reason.

 

My setup has only classen's nation files loaded, but nothing else. I don't know what other people do with their DBs, but if you only run it with the vanilla game or classen's files, it should work without a problem. I don't think 18.3 should not cause a problem, either.

I don't have FM18, so I can't actually see any of the data, but I love the sound of this DB, and I'd be interested in taking a look at getting some artwork together for it, as that's right up my street. At the moment, I'm waiting for my own PC to come back (using my partner's laptop), so I'm a little tight on what software I have at my disposition, but if you can give me some idea of things you're interested in being included (team names, kit colours and styles, badge styles, sponsors etc.)- whatever you've got or know about the world- I would be happy to make some plans for longer-term graphical work for it. Obviously, ideally there'd be an Excel document or something I could look at for team names and colours?

Some examples of things I've been involved with in the past, with graphic examples.

its great that you take the initiative to create graphics. Its a really hard chore. Am creative a realistic Malawian league and it is very difficult as some teams literally do not have any logos and most teams have the same green colored kits.
