Mythic League Baseball - Historical Teams/Leagues with Fictional Players (and a YT series)

I'm starting up a new solo project that is possibly going to turn into an online league down the road.

The idea, in a nutshell, is this:
  • Historical Teams and Leagues
  • 1871 start with the National Association
  • Folds, expansions, rival leagues all appear as they did historically
  • Try to mimic 19th century baseball as closely as possible
  • Might include minor leagues too
  • Possibly become an online league upon reaching 1901

I'm going to chronicle the league's setup and probably it's progress on my YouTube channel. You can check out the first video here. There'll also be writeups for this thread for those who'd rather read than watch.

I posted part 2 in which I discuss how player names & bio info (amongst other things) are managed and the two ways I've done it each with its advantages & disadvantages.

There'll probably be one more setup type video going over setting up things like uniforms, logos, ballparks, schedules, etc. and then we'll get the actual gameplay and I will have more interesting textual content to post here in this thread.

Here's the link if anyone's interested: Mythic Setup Part 2 - Editing Players

In part three of my series, still in the setup phase, I talk about setting up logos and ballparks (not the 3D stuff, the basics) and also about the world_default.xml file and how you could go about updating it (and why you might want to if you want "historical realism" - I do, but ymmv).

Click this link to check it out.

In part four of the video series, I wrap up the setup of the league, talk about getting the schedule into the game with a bit about player names, etc.

Here's the link for video #4.

Next up: the 1871 recap video. It may be a few days before I get to it, but that's the planned next entry. Assuming I have time, there'll also be a writeup here for those who don't want to watch.

Here's the 1871 recap video:

Next up will be a look at progressing to the next season when you have to add and/or remove teams, manually move players, set up the schedule and ballparks, etc., etc.
