Hi all - I remembered this game from ages ago and, finding that nothing comparable has come on the market in the ~2 decades since I last played - I re-downloaded a copy. I am sort of struggling to comprehend what the game *is* however, i.e. does time advance and fighters retire a la Football Manager for boxing, or is this sort of a set piece manually curated boxing database with no "narrative" / aging / arcs etc.

Anyhow, instead of chasing down whatever working links still exist to build a database of real life fighters, I was wondering if there was a way to quickly populate a universe with a few thousand fictional fighters of varying quality so that I would not have to go in by hand and manually set attributes etc. I see within the GUI the option to make fighters one-by-one but it looks like they start wit straight 0's and it seems unfeasible to build a universe this way. I am sure I am missing something though and any help would be greatly appreciated. Ideally I could automate the creation of a boxing world where nations are proportionally represented etc but I understand that may be asking too much for an old game.
