What does “Build a Dynasty” mean?

thklein · 12-29-2017, 12:56 AM

My owner gave me the long term goal to “build a dynasty”. What does the game consider a “dynasty”? I’ve already won back to back championships. Do I need to win another? Do I need to win my division a certain of years in a row?

they've never been 100% clear on the specifics.

X ws out of Y years? maybe consistently over a certain # of wins too, who knows for sure. track what happens and if it works out well, do at least that next time, or a little less to test

Been wondering the same thing myself. I have won the WS a couple years in a row and was given that goal.

The Texas Rangers, whom I beat in the ALCS every year, was given the same goal.

i don't use owner goals... are they retroactive?

your initial 2 ws may have nothing to do with the new goal... if oyu have other experience where you are certain it looks at quantifiable metrics from before the goal was given, then i wouldn't worry about this possibility.

it may or may not start at teh inception of the given goal, and not count anything before that point... if it doesn't adhere to this behaviour in others contexts you've expereinced, it probably doesn't matter and it will count the 2 prior WS....

my guess is that prior history won't count toward the goal, but could be wrong.

Yeah, basically this. Your "success" towards building a dynasty is essentially from the point the goal is issued. But build a dynasty is the top level goal, so even if you succeed at it, you'll probably just be given it again.

Not sure why people are assuming that he got the goal from his owner after winning two championships. I didn't read it that way.
