Custom international competitions?

Post by kasy16 »

Hi, first of all, thank you all who participate on the EHM and its patches, rosters, addons etc. - it's a wonderful game, which I'm playing for years now and it is still very entertaining, mainly thanks to the community (and with EHM: EA it's getting even better).

To the point: Is there a way to create a custom international competition or edit an existing one? I would like to have more international tournaments with a full participation of NHL players (not like World Championship or the lesser tournaments in Europe). Of course, I know there is World Cup probably coming in one of the next patches for EHM: EA but I don't like its current format very much (particulary the American Youth team).. What I would like it to be like - 8 teams:
Canada
Sweden
USA
Russia
Czech Republic
Finland
German speaking countries (Switzerland, Austria, Germany)
Rest of the World (Slovakia, Slovenia, France etc.)
I did some "research" and for the upcoming two World Cups (2016, 2020) the two mixed teams would be as strong as Finland or CZE, maybe even stronger.

So my question is: Can I create a custom international league (or edit World Cup)? If yes, would someone be so kind and tell me how?

Thank you.

I'm afraid most of the customisation options are currently inaccessible as there isn't an EHM:EA editor. Rather, we have to edit the more limited EHM 2007 DB and then import it into EHM:EA. So the ability to modify or create custom international tournaments is non-existent.

That said, you might have some luck with the latest beta version of the EHM 2007 Updater (Download link here). This allows you to edit the tournament settings for each national team (but note you must edit an EHM 2007 DB and then afterwards import it into EHM:EA). I don't know what effect it has in game as I haven't tested it yet, but it's worth a shot:
