I think there's an interesting concept somewhere there, with two competing major leagues, though I'm not sure what the details would be.

Well, I'll reveal what the concept is behind Heroes and Villains, I'm still working on it to see if I can swing it well enough yet.
Anyway, I messaged QuestDog yesterday with an idea I had. I asked him since he was so amazing with his names file, how hard it would be to add a single word in front of all the first names in a region. At first, the word was "Immortal." To where, for this nation in the names file, it spit out Voidish (I changed to Voidian after I figured it out) players all from the Void, with names like:
Immortal Stevie Johnson
Immortal Brian Rivers
etc.
Well, once I figured out how he did that, I made another nation. This one is The Abyss.
What I'm doing is having 2 16 team leagues, associated just to run a "Universe Series."
Each one of those leagues has just two feeder teams, one from The Void which now spawns "Heroes", and the other having The Abyss, which spawns "Villains."
I then jumped their player modifiers through the roof to simulate a small number of legendary, nay, demigod-level players entering the league. My concept behind it is to have the 2 leagues run exactly the same, they still have normal players. I made all the teams American in the setup, but gave one league Eurasian names. That way, all of the players present as American.
This allows me to set the rules for each team only allowed to have 5 foreign players, with a limit of either 3 hitters and 3 hitters. So teams will wind up with 5 legends, but you'll see some carry 3 legend pitchers and 2 hitters, and vice versa.
My concept for if I wrote about this league would be that a Heroic demigod and Villain demigod made quite the entrance in trying to destroy each other. They then lay down the rules. 200 years, whichever league has more Universe Championships will control the fate of the universe. If the Heroes win, they save the universe (and the cheerleader)
-- if the Villains win, well I think you know what happens.
It has been a little unstable though trying to do these larger structured leagues and associations and the like... but its mostly C++ errors, still affects my testing, however... so I'm going to do the NHL as a side project, and actually update my Dynasty Reports tonight.
