Finally Broke My Holidaying Personal Best


Recommended Posts

I kind of wish that I had been able to complete it all on the same machine, but my newest computer took care of the last few hundred years.  Does anyone know what the record is?  I had hoped that I would break my own mark way sooner, but stability of long-term saves and the general slowdown have always been an obstacle.

FM24 seems to be way faster than FM22 so I will take a break on this one and work on the one that I have going on there.  If FM25 is even in the same speed realm, I may go back to multi-country saves for FM26.

Wow....I have never seen a simulation over about 1000 years on any version of FM I have played. I usually try to simulate 50 years and start managing a team to really randomize the game world. 6600 is absolutely wild, kudos on the commitment. :applause:

I mean the obvious question here is why didn't you just run the top flight? 

My other question is did Afan Lido ever win the league?

I was not really trying for speed in this one, in part because you need a little luck to avoid crashes.  I think this was one of the first FMs where two tiers were available in Wales and my other goal was to see if Wales could surpass England like Iceland becoming one of the top leagues in the world when I did a holiday save there.  My FM24 save is running all three tiers in Japan.

No league win for Afan Lido.  Their highest finish in the holiday period was 11th in 2589-2560.  They got relegated to the third tier again in 6595-6596.

I have managed over 1000 on a few different setups over the years, but it took a while to break my best mark.

You should definitely start some threads on the forums to show off your save worlds and give some insight as to what a team can do in 6000 extra years of life. I would be a keen follower :D

Can you share some pics, like winners of various Euro/World competitions, like UCL, Europa league, Conference, World Cup, etc...

Euros are next. I will look through the club competitions for unusual winners, but will not do screenshots since that would be over 100 for an annual competition with this game length. I will happily do screenshots of club overviews though if there are any specific interests.22euro2.thumb.png.fac86edd192695452a8fca90816e331c.png22euro3.thumb.png.670d500ac60c76c09813bf2750933d34.png22euro4.thumb.png.c0afd31a26e18564b5e30eadc6ff200b.png22euro5.thumb.png.c10976509712204022de393ab354cb36.png22euro1.thumb.png.134dd0f740662d92a053bd274954ee3d.png

4.11GB now, which was not even possible in the days before FM was 64 bit.  My FM24 save is at 4.03GB approaching the year 6000.

Wow, i hope sometime you upload that fm save somewhere like mediafire because im really interested in seeing that stuff

I second this.

Beware though in my experience loading other peoples save games can overwrite your hall of fame.

Is Mediafire the best site these days for no signup upload and convenient downloading?  It has been a while since I have needed to use one of those sites.  Once I am sure that not going to holiday further in the save, then I will upload it.

Did Dinamo Zagreb win any major euro trophy ? (UCL, EL, CL) ?

Quite a few, but you have to get past the year 3000 to see it.  Not counting Benfica breaking the curse, winners start get interesting in 2229 when Valur won it.  BSK Bijelo Brdo defeated Slaven Belupo in the 4678 final.22zagreb1.thumb.png.2b57d3133d19ab06aab78b6487571149.png22zagreb2.thumb.png.91906e806d2371303c2540f6997d2cec.png22zagreb3.thumb.png.3f67684cd71ceb8887fa63ced6da21c3.png

And please, one more request :) Post screenshoot of every croatian club (like you did it with Dinamo) that won any European cup :)

I went with this trophy screen for this request and I think that I got all the teams that won European trophies.22hrvatskidragovoljac.thumb.png.e94816d6fb5ae8e6ae0e3bb13e8b722d.png22junaksinj.png.0d5cfffa9d7d017e1724aa473f74a455.png22lokozagreb.thumb.png.c02413a101b2ecdd104dc02caa1e2eba.png22istra.png.4992ccb96189c03714c761e9bd53223c.png22slavenbelupo.thumb.png.b6681c0ee12aa1cc42814daca0b22fab.png22osijek.png.f024b6f8e4082aa0d3103c3c574b8c5c.png22rijeka.thumb.png.ce2508c1662e91af76c4fc79a12c7548.png22bskbijelobrdo.thumb.png.fb74cce05b8970d9232ff230524221fd.png

What's up with the Bulgaria/Latvia/Israel meta? That is properly befuddling.

It's like a reputation spiral where after they fluke one win, they get enough of a bump to be a contender in the future.

Wow, what an amazing achievement.

Have Bristol City done anything, ever?

Any 'weird' teams in the football league?

They are in the Premier League now, but no league titles or senior cups.  466 PL2 titles though.

Nothing too crazy league-wise for teams.

Please tell me Newcastle still haven't won anything :lol:

We counting their 127 Papa John's Trophy wins?

They did win one FA Cup and one Conference League, but it has been pretty rough for them otherwise.
