Hello. I have been playing COTG for 35 years. Now I have just received the Legends Color Set. Need some advice. How do I start this off? How does one maintain a storyline and feuds? There are so many expansion sets. How do you all maintain a Legends fed with so many wrestlers? Do you divide your fed into different territories, or do you have one fed? Also, what titles do you invoke? Any advice will help. Thanks!

One fed, two belts - singles and tag. I cycle people in and out as needed.
Legends can be daunting to get started with no direction after years of playing COTG. You pretty much have to come up with your own angle/let the dice dictate the feuds.

Personally, I have had the most success debuting wrestlers chronologically. So I started out in the pioneer era an am slowly moving to the more modern era. This allows me to sort of "re-write" wrestling history from the ground up, which I quite enjoy. But that obviously isn't for everyone. My more generally applicable suggestion is to decide what sort of overarching story are you looking to either create or fit into. Are you looking to run a small territory struggling to keep afloat in the early 80s? Are you a large national or global promotion? Is it something more "fictional"? Once you sort of answered that in your head, everything else will become a lot less over-whelming because things will sort of fall into place. |

Hello and welcome to Legends! I'll break it up so it's easier to follow:
When I got the starter set I began with the NWA with Champ, US Champ, TV Champ, and TT Champs (which I just gave the Road Warriors to save time 😁).
Then I branched out to add a Mid-Atlantic territory with Champ, and TT Champs. I may someday add a TV Champ.
As my collection grew I created Mid-South with Champ, TT Champs, and TV Champ, and then added US TT Champs for the NWA.
I tried doing Texas but that kind of fell apart.
With this last Expansion Set I am thinking of adding the WWF but to be honest my time is so limited that I may not, and instead have those wrestlers jump into the NWA territories.
Since I have so much time in between matches I sometimes pretend like the Feds are running on their own with champs defending their belts, and feuds happening. Back when I was a kid playing Superstar Wrestling Game I was able to play a lot and had NWA, AWA and WWF cards regularly with PPVs. Ah, the good ole days!
My advice- just have fun with it and don't be tied to anything. It just makes it more "work" than "fun". If I play 5 times a year I'm great with it and don't care about length of title reigns.

Welcome to Legends!
I use one fed, 2 belts (singles/tag team). Small roster 16-20 guys. My champ is the territory champ. I like to use a "head-cannon" governing body for the world champ and they only show up in Florida every now and again. Try and use a constant rotation of talent and I use an automated excel formula to generate my match cards

I use an automated excel formula to generate my match cards Do what now? LOL - I have a formula in excel that will automatically pop-up a name of someone currently in my fed. I do that repeatedly until I have enough for 4-5 matches and I have to build a match card around the names that pop-up. It creates a more varied set of match cards and gives me a bit of a challenge to book my fed. |

I keep all my guys in a Google Sheet so I ought to be able to use it. |

Interesting way to do things.
For me, I usually slide through my list (I use everyone pretty much but I limit myself to 4-6 matches normally for sanity's sake) and when I see who I want to use I then choose an opponent who feels right. Sometimes I run angles but mostly I play freestyle.
