Popular Post Supermercado99 Posted November 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) I know nobody is going to care about this file as much as me, but given how many topics I've been in asking/complaining about topics related to African continental qualification I thought I'd make the file official. The companion graphics file (logos, stadiums, the national flag, faces of some of the managers/players commonly signed by clubs can be downloaded here). Now, please rise for the Westminstran national anthem... Divisions (more information below): Two professional (1, 2) and two semi-professional (3, 4) league divisions Semi-pro (National League, Challenge League, Challenge League 1, Challenge League 2) and amateur (Midweek League) non-league divisions Under 23 competition mirroring main divisions Cups: Football Association Cup (Football League and National League sides) League Cup (Division 3 and 4 sides, plus 16 Under 23 sides of Division 1 sides) National Challenge Cup (National League and Challenge League sides) National Youth Cup (Football League and National League U23 sides) Midweek Cup (Midweek League senior teams) Midweek U23 Cup (Midweek League U23 teams) City Cups (One pre-season tournament per region, with the exception of sides involved in the other pre-season cups) Services Shield (pre-season tournament for government teams) Amateur Cup (pre-season league between amateur teams) Forces Challenge (pre-season league between the Air Force, Army and Navy sides) Education Cup (pre-season league between University and High School teams) Westminster - an introduction The largely uninhabited island was colonised by Great Britain in 1775. Its only occupants were the Buyan people, who lived along the east coast closest to the African mainland. Settlers from Britain caused them to gradually drift across the island, leaving them on the opposite coast to their original homeland. Buyans found an uneasy place under British rule, but the circumstances behind their migration remain controversial in Westminster today. At first, settlers from Britain came arrived as farmers, especially to the fertile Midland region. A mining boom around the Mt. Lawler area during late 19th century greatly boosted the population, and settlements were developed across the island. Mining remains a key sector of the economy, and the discovery of oil off the northeast coast in the late 1960s ensured Westminster's self-sufficiency. While other British colonies sought independence in the 1950s and 1960s, a population overwhelmingly connected to the mother country ensured Westminster remained loyal to the crowd. Despite the lack of a serious push towards independence, the British government held a referendum in 1967 to coincide with a similar vote in Gibraltar. As expected, despite opposition from a small independence movement and parts of the Buyan community, continued association with the UK won by a landslide 89% to 11%. As mainland Britain struggled through the 1970s and early 1980s, Westminster's relatively strong economic performance made it an attractive destination for immigration. By the turn of the century its population had far outstripped Northern Ireland and Wales, and was drawing closer to Scotland. After years of being frozen out of the British political scene, ruled by a Governor appointed by London and a small local parliament with advisory powers only, political passions on the island were finally fired by the 2016 Brexit referendum. Expectations of being included in the vote, like citizens of Gibraltar, were not met. The argument was that they weren't physically part of Europe, but there were suspicions that it had more to do with the overwhelming 'remain' support on the island. Until then, support for independence barely reached double digits, but the leave vote gave the cause its greatest ever boost. With an economy that relied heavily on trade with the European Union, pro-independence sentiment skyrocketed, and for the first time some polls even showed a majority in favour of breaking away. In London, there were fears that a previously minor pro-independence party would sweep the local elections due later that year. Spooked by the prospect of its most lucrative overseas possession trying to walk away, the British government offered a deal to head off the breakaway faction. They invited the island to join the United Kingdom as a country, finally winning representation in the parliament that had inspired its name. Despite opposition from independence advocates and Buyan nationalists, the deal was ratified by almost 80% of the population. There was a concession offered to the Buyans, unlike Westminstrans from the other provinces they would not automatically be considered British citizens. After a transitional period, the arrangement became official on 1 January 2021. Demographics The island is divided into 12 metropolitan areas, based around a particular major city but all containing smaller towns and villages in the wider district. Liberty City - (population 2,950,000) The capital, by far the largest city, and the white-collar economic heart of the nation. Liberty City is also home to the country’s only international airport, located near the border with the Port Liberty province. Barely larger than Midland, but significantly more densely populated. Midland (510,000) Heavily populated in the areas bordering Liberty City and Kangyana Falls, but otherwise mainly farming land. It is home to the headquarters of national train network Westminster Rail, and the island's main highway runs through it, from Liberty City to Elizabeth. Port Liberty (480,000) The industrial heart of the country. Holds key manufacturing industries and the island's major shipping port. Mt. Lawler (270,000) The home of the national mining industry. Small gold and diamond reserves were extinguished in the early 1900s, leaving platinum, coal, chromium and nickel to be mined today. Kangyana Falls (255,000) The falls themselves are one of the island's main tourist attractions, but the city is home to a thriving digital media sector that has helped the provincial population grow by over 30% in a decade. South Coast (200,000) Westminster's internationally famous beach resort. Also a major holiday destination for locals, many of who own holiday houses in the area. The north of the province is industrial, and is headquarters to Southern Rail - the private company to operates freight trains across the island. Elizabeth (160,000) Originally part of New London, Elizabeth became its own district in the early 1990s. Since then, local manufacturing has helped its prosperity and population grown beyond that of New London. Lake Charles (160,000) Mainly a farming community, with its largest population centres around the lake. Victoria River (140,000) The majority of the population is located at the northern end of the province, where the river forms from the ocean. Most other residents live along the river, with farming in the centre of the district. New London (120,000) A struggling province that has lost much of its industry and been eclipsed by the growth of Elizabeth. It is the most economically underdeveloped area in the country, heavily dependent on government subsidies. Buya (80,000) Home to the vast majority of the Buyan population, the province remains a hotbed of their culture, and largely considers itself independent of the island's government. Football in Westminster The game was first seriously played on the island in the late 1800s, but never developed a serious club scene. Instead, the game was organised along a similar basis to county cricket, with teams representing provinces. A recognisable national championship began in 1923, and other than the war years, continued to be played until 2020. Given their population advantage, Liberty City not surprisingly dominated the competition. Despite the smallest population in the country, and some local reluctance to participate in a competition ultimately controlled by the English FA, Buya won back-to-back titles in 1979/80. Westminster National Championship titles (72 played) Liberty City - 43 Port Liberty - 13 Midland - 10 Buya, Mt. Lawler - 2 South Coast, Victoria River - 1 Elizabeth, Kangyana Falls, Lake Charles, New London - 0 Until 2021 there was no official Westminstran national team. Promising players went to England, and would play for their national team if good enough. Occasional ‘Westminster XI’ sides played exhibition matches, most controversially several times against South Africa in the 1970s, but there was no move to play official international games. This changed once they joined the UK. The initial plan was to play in UEFA, but this was rejected to their proximity to Africa. Many CAF nations didn't want to admit them into their competitions, but were eventually persuaded to offer an invitation. With international football, the fully professional club game was embraced at last. The Westminster FA offered 256 teams places in their competitions, ranging from major consortiums to tiny village sides and teams representing government departments. The League Players from England, Gibraltar, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are not considered foreign. Maximum 30 players over 22 can be registered All promotion/relegation playoffs are one leg games at a neutral venue.

If any kits don't display make sure 'allowed licensed kits' is ticked Every city except Buya gives players dual English nationality Westminster will play in all international tournaments except the CHAN. The Under 20 side will always be invited to the Toulon Youth Tournament in the first year If you use the attached African competitions file there will always be 2x Champions League, 2x Confederation Cup spots for the top four sides. If you don't, there will be 1x Confederation Cup until that side gains coefficient points by making the quarter finals. Two seasons later it will change so that the league winner plays Champions League and FA Cup winner plays Confed Cup. In-game/save game editors are highly recommended. Otherwise the AI will create ridiculously high reputation managers and assign them to top teams despite no previous experience. Suggested method is to bulk edit the newly generated managers in a save game editor on approximately 1 August every year so nobody has a reputation above 1000 - then lower league managers will move accordingly and the game will promote U23 managers to senior jobs. It will take a long time for AI to assign managers to all teams - this is because multiple teams try to sign the same person, and when he makes a decision all the other teams go back to stage 1 of the hiring process. Feel free to use the in-game editor to assign appropriate managers. This is the latest version (as of January 2023) of the honour roll for the game I'm playing.

There was a concession offered to the Buyans, unlike Westminstrans from the other provinces they would not automatically be considered British citizens. After a transitional period, the arrangement became official on 1 January 2021. Demographics The island is divided into 12 metropolitan areas, based around a particular major city but all containing smaller towns and villages in the wider district. Liberty City - (population 2,900,000) The capital, by far the largest city, and the white-collar economic heart of the nation. Liberty City is also home to the country’s only international airport, located near the border with the Port Liberty province. Barely larger than Midland, but significantly more densely populated. Midland (510,000) Heavily populated in the areas bordering Liberty City and Kangyana Falls, but otherwise mainly farming land. It is home to the headquarters of national train network Westminster Rail, and the island's main highway runs through it, from Liberty City to Elizabeth. Port Liberty (480,000) The industrial heart of the country. Holds key manufacturing industries and the island's major shipping port. Mt. Lawler (270,000) The home of the national mining industry. Small gold and diamond reserves were extinguished in the early 1900s, leaving platinum, coal, chromium and nickel to be mined today. Kangyana Falls (255,000) The falls themselves are one of the island's main tourist attractions, but the city is home to a thriving digital media sector that has helped the provincial population grow by over 30% in a decade. South Coast (200,000) Westminster's internationally famous beach resort. Also a major holiday destination for locals, many of who own holiday houses in the area. The north of the province is industrial, and is headquarters to Southern Rail - the private company to operates freight trains across the island. Elizabeth (160,000) Originally part of New London, Elizabeth became its own district in the early 1990s. Since then, local manufacturing has helped its prosperity and population grown beyond that of New London. Lake Charles (160,000) Mainly a farming community, with its largest population centres around the lake. Victoria River (140,000) The majority of the population is located at the northern end of the province, where the river forms from the ocean. Most other residents live along the river, with farming in the centre of the district. New London (120,000) A struggling province that has lost much of its industry and been eclipsed by the growth of Elizabeth. It is the most economically underdeveloped area in the country, heavily dependent on government subsidies. Buya (80,000) Home to the vast majority of the Buyan population, the province remains a hotbed of their culture, and largely considers itself independent of the island's government. Federal Capital District (25,000) Traditionally the home of most Westminstran government departments, the island a few hundred metres off the mainland was part of Liberty City until nationhood. During weekdays, the island’s population swells with workers from the mainland, but there are very few permanent residents. Football in Westminster The game was first seriously played on the island in the late 1800s, but never developed a serious club scene. Instead, the game was organised along a similar basis to county cricket, with teams representing provinces. A recognisable national championship began in 1923, and other than the war years, continued to be played until 2020. Given their population advantage, Liberty City not surprisingly dominated the competition. Despite the smallest population in the country, and some local reluctance to participate in a competition ultimately controlled by the English FA, Buya won back-to-back titles in 1979/80. Westminster National Championship titles (72 played) Liberty City - 43 Port Liberty - 13 Midland - 10 Buya, Mt. Lawler - 2 South Coast, Victoria River - 1 Elizabeth, Kangyana Falls, Lake Charles, New London - 0 Until 2021 there was no official Westminstran national team. Promising players went to England, and would play for their national team if good enough. Occasional ‘Westminster XI’ sides played exhibition matches, most controversially several times against South Africa in the 1970s, but there was no move to play official international games. This changed once they joined the UK. The initial plan was to play in UEFA, but this was rejected to their proximity to Africa. Many CAF nations didn't want to admit them into their competitions, but were eventually persuaded to offer an invitation. With international football, the fully professional club game was embraced at last. The Westminster FA offered 256 teams places in their competitions, ranging from major consortiums to tiny village sides and teams representing government departments.

If you don't want (or don't) trust this, it can be turned off in the Westminster Africa editor file. Default setting is two qualifiers for the Champions League and Confederation Cup. One of the teams enters the Champions League a round later than the other, but the game doesn't automatically make the previous title winner the higher seeded team. There's probably something I can do about this in the file settings but have had so much trouble with the continental cups that I'm letting it go for now. Every city except Buya has a UK region, meaning players get dual English nationality. In-game editor highly recommended. Sometimes the AI leaves very good players without teams at the end of the season, and any player that reaches 24 at a Training Squad team will rot away on their roster for the rest of the year, unable to play. You may want to manually fix these issues. It will take over a year for the AI to assign managers to all teams. Even with a number of real life managers set to be available in Westminster, every time one of them choose another team, the sides who he rejects contract offers from go back to square one instead of appointing somebody else. Westminster's international teams will participate in senior and Under 23 competitions, but are NOT selected for Under 20 cups or the CHAN tournament. I have, however, seen the Under 20 side invited to Toulon tournament a couple of times. Wow this is amazing how long did it take you to make Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only occupants were the Buyan people, who lived along the east coast closest to the African mainland. Settlers from Britain caused them to gradually drift across the island, leaving them on the opposite coast to their original homeland. Buyans found an uneasy place under British rule, but the circumstances behind their migration remain controversial in Westminster today. At first, settlers from Britain came arrived as farmers, especially to the fertile Midland region. A mining boom around the Mt. Lawler area during late 19th century greatly boosted the population, and settlements were developed across the island. Mining remains a key sector of the economy, and the discovery of oil off the northeast coast in the late 1960s ensured Westminster's self-sufficiency. While other British colonies sought independence in the 1950s and 1960s, a population overwhelmingly connected to the mother country ensured Westminster remained loyal to the crowd. Despite the lack of a serious push towards independence, the British government held a referendum in 1967 to coincide with a similar vote in Gibraltar. As expected, despite opposition from a small independence movement and parts of the Buyan community, continued association with the UK won by a landslide 89% to 11%. As mainland Britain struggled through the 1970s and early 1980s, Westminster's relatively strong economic performance made it an attractive destination for immigration. By the turn of the century its population had far outstripped Northern Ireland and Wales, and was drawing closer to Scotland. After years of being frozen out of the British political scene, ruled by a Governor appointed by London and a small local parliament with advisory powers only, political passions on the island were finally fired by the 2016 Brexit referendum. Expectations of being included in the vote, like citizens of Gibraltar, were not met. The argument was that they weren't physically part of Europe, but there were suspicions that it had more to do with the overwhelming 'remain' support on the island. Until then, support for independence barely reached double digits, but the leave vote gave the cause its greatest ever boost. With an economy that relied heavily on trade with the European Union, pro-independence sentiment skyrocketed, and for the first time some polls even showed a majority in favour of breaking away. In London, there were fears that a previously minor pro-independence party would sweep the local elections due later that year. Spooked by the prospect of its most lucrative overseas possession trying to walk away, the British government offered a deal to head off the breakaway faction. They invited the island to join the United Kingdom as a country, finally winning representation in the parliament that had inspired its name. Despite opposition from independence advocates and Buyan nationalists, the deal was ratified by almost 80% of the population. There was a concession offered to the Buyans, unlike Westminstrans from the other provinces they would not automatically be considered British citizens. After a transitional period, the arrangement became official on 1 January 2021. Demographics The island is divided into 12 metropolitan areas, based around a particular major city but all containing smaller towns and villages in the wider district. Liberty City - (population 2,900,000) The capital, by far the largest city, and the white-collar economic heart of the nation. Liberty City is also home to the country’s only international airport, located near the border with the Port Liberty province. Barely larger than Midland, but significantly more densely populated. Midland (510,000) Heavily populated in the areas bordering Liberty City and Kangyana Falls, but otherwise mainly farming land. It is home to the headquarters of national train network Westminster Rail, and the island's main highway runs through it, from Liberty City to Elizabeth. Port Liberty (480,000) The industrial heart of the country. Holds key manufacturing industries and the island's major shipping port. Mt. Lawler (270,000) The home of the national mining industry. Small gold and diamond reserves were extinguished in the early 1900s, leaving platinum, coal, chromium and nickel to be mined today. Kangyana Falls (255,000) The falls themselves are one of the island's main tourist attractions, but the city is home to a thriving digital media sector that has helped the provincial population grow by over 30% in a decade. South Coast (200,000) Westminster's internationally famous beach resort. Also a major holiday destination for locals, many of who own holiday houses in the area. The north of the province is industrial, and is headquarters to Southern Rail - the private company to operates freight trains across the island. Elizabeth (160,000) Originally part of New London, Elizabeth became its own district in the early 1990s. Since then, local manufacturing has helped its prosperity and population grown beyond that of New London. Lake Charles (160,000) Mainly a farming community, with its largest population centres around the lake. Victoria River (140,000) The majority of the population is located at the northern end of the province, where the river forms from the ocean. Most other residents live along the river, with farming in the centre of the district. New London (120,000) A struggling province that has lost much of its industry and been eclipsed by the growth of Elizabeth. It is the most economically underdeveloped area in the country, heavily dependent on government subsidies. Buya (80,000) Home to the vast majority of the Buyan population, the province remains a hotbed of their culture, and largely considers itself independent of the island's government. Federal Capital District (25,000) Traditionally the home of most Westminstran government departments, the island a few hundred metres off the mainland was part of Liberty City until nationhood. During weekdays, the island’s population swells with workers from the mainland, but there are very few permanent residents. Football in Westminster The game was first seriously played on the island in the late 1800s, but never developed a serious club scene. Instead, the game was organised along a similar basis to county cricket, with teams representing provinces. A recognisable national championship began in 1923, and other than the war years, continued to be played until 2020. Given their population advantage, Liberty City not surprisingly dominated the competition. Despite the smallest population in the country, and some local reluctance to participate in a competition ultimately controlled by the English FA, Buya won back-to-back titles in 1979/80. Westminster National Championship titles (72 played) Liberty City - 43 Port Liberty - 13 Midland - 10 Buya, Mt. Lawler - 2 South Coast, Victoria River - 1 Elizabeth, Kangyana Falls, Lake Charles, New London - 0 Until 2021 there was no official Westminstran national team. Promising players went to England, and would play for their national team if good enough. Occasional ‘Westminster XI’ sides played exhibition matches, most controversially several times against South Africa in the 1970s, but there was no move to play official international games. This changed once they joined the UK. The initial plan was to play in UEFA, but this was rejected to their proximity to Africa. Many CAF nations didn't want to admit them into their competitions, but were eventually persuaded to offer an invitation. With international football, the fully professional club game was embraced at last.

If you don't want (or don't) trust this, it can be turned off in the Westminster Africa editor file. Default setting is two qualifiers for the Champions League and Confederation Cup. One of the teams enters the Champions League a round later than the other, but the game doesn't automatically make the previous title winner the higher seeded team. There's probably something I can do about this in the file settings but have had so much trouble with the continental cups that I'm letting it go for now. Every city except Buya has a UK region, meaning players get dual English nationality. In-game editor highly recommended. Sometimes the AI leaves very good players without teams at the end of the season, and any player that reaches 24 at a Training Squad team will rot away on their roster for the rest of the year, unable to play. You may want to manually fix these issues. It will take over a year for the AI to assign managers to all teams. Even with a number of real life managers set to be available in Westminster, every time one of them choose another team, the sides who he rejects contract offers from go back to square one instead of appointing somebody else. Westminster's international teams will participate in senior and Under 23 competitions, but are NOT selected for Under 20 cups or the CHAN tournament. I have, however, seen the Under 20 side invited to Toulon tournament a couple of times. Version 1.1 updates - Graphics link included this time - More international managers available to join Westminstran clubs - Minimum attendance of Civil Service, River City Raiders and Racing Club fixed (were all accidentally too high) - Latitude/longitude added to cities as this may have been a reason why nobody scheduled friendlies [Update: Made no difference, AI teams still don't schedule them) - Fixed issue with national rivalries showing twice (lesson for people using two editor files at the same time - this setting will pick up from both, showing duplicates) - Commonwealth Cup changed to seeded draw - the four qualifying teams will play the four home nations in the first round - Changed Champions League qualification to fix problem with league winner being given a lower seeding than the runner up. - Super Cup reinstated after I finally got it to work again without skipping years Westminster Africa v1.1.fmf 21.02 kB · 3 downloads Westminster 2022 v1.1.fmf 238.92 kB · 0 downloads I love this.

Supermercado99 Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Updated version 1.2 now in the original post. The picture pack now has kits for all the teams (except Airport and Customs, which used to work now I can't for the life of me get it to show. Images still inside link). Having played seven years on this database there are issues that are never going to be resolved because the game can't handle custom databases (e.g. top managerial jobs being filled by 31-year-old regens instead of successful lower division/foreign managers) but I'm reasonably happy with how it's hung together long-term. The honour roll can be seen in this doc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewr2711 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I've tried to verify it for 22.4, but it keeps saying that the african cup of nations qualifying has 55 teams instead of 54, how would i fix that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for super late response. I've just changed the links in the original post for a new version with a few changes, extra teams, kits etc... This is the version I played a lot of for a couple of months and am really happy with (though would have liked to go further down the pyramid), but am a bit sick of FM now and have no interest in FM23 so thought I'd put the files up for people to do what they liked with. Feel free to adapt/convert to other versions if you're interested! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams do play some friendlies as well now. - Removed Club Commonwealth Cup because it didn't work as I wanted. - Added two more amateur divisions in a Midweek League and a Midweek Cup. All Challenge Leagues now play as semi-professional - Some ground improvements now happen, including a rare new stadium - Capital District now part of Liberty City - Other minor balance changes - Kits and stadiums for all teams in picture pack Just out of curiosity, what did you do to to now get stadium improvements or new stadiums?

Supermercado99 Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) I've changed the links in the original post to include the final major update (with picture pack) for this file, I'm skipping FM23 so there won't be an update for this game. Feel free to convert it if you want! Other than a few cosmetic changes, the big difference is the addition of 44 new teams. Instead of a Midweek League 1 and 2 on top of each other in the structure, there's now four groups (A-D) on the same level that all promote teams to the bottom level of the Challenge League. I'm keeping stats on my latest game here if you're interested in following along. Ground and attendance details are in the same file. On 24/10/2022 at 02:24, J-Hood said: Just out of curiosity, what did you do to to now get stadium improvements or new stadiums? Changed the construction dates of stadiums. Now it happens occasionally. More often than not they announce intention to build and nothing seems to happen.
