Adjusted nations.txt file
Thought I'd share my slightly tweaked nations.txt file with more realistic (IMHO) Baseball Levels.
Using a terrifying complicated formula (weighing things like: strength of domestic league (if any); performance in the WBC, Baseball World Cup and the Olympics; and number of players in MLB), I jiggered some of the ratings. Actually, most of them stayed the same: most of the zeroes are still zeroes. All countries with domestic leagues and/or are members of the IBAF got at least a 1. Highlights: South Korea was bumped from a 4 to 5; Netherlands, 3 to 4; Spain gets some love (an inexplicable zero to 2); China slides from 4 to 3; Aruba drops from 3 (!!) to 1; Costa Rica 4 to 2 (they're surrounded by good baseball countries, but they aren't one themselves); Argentina and Chile both drop from 3 to 2; and Scotland jumps from zero to 1! Yea! Anyway...enjoy! (Just copy and paste into your nations.txt file; rename the original file "orig_nations.txt" first...)

According to Dogzilla in this thread: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=121394 , the frequencies come out to be this:
5 rating (excellent) about 500 per country 4 (good) about 130 3 (average) about 90 2 (fair) about 2.5 1 (poor) about 1.0 0 (non-existent) game never generates players from countries with 0 With a Baseball Level of 1 producing only 1 player out of...well, we don't know how many, but...does anyone else feel like I do that almost NO countries should be given a 0 Baseball Level? Are we so sure that there will NEVER be a player from Afghanistan? There will never be a talented kid from Afghanistan who finds himself in The States and picks up the game--even if he only makes it to Single A ball? I've changed my own nations.txt, but I thought I'd throw this out there.

At this point, you are talking theology. What's so cool is that people with diammetrically opposed viewpoints can play the same game their way by a simple modding of nations.txt. BTW, I learn towards your point of view. |

Are we so sure that there will NEVER be a player from Afghanistan?
There's already been one: Jeff Bronkey. 5 rating (excellent) about 500 per country 4 (good) about 130 3 (average) about 90 2 (fair) about 2.5 1 (poor) about 1.0 0 (non-existent) game never generates players from countries with 0 Using 0-5 is way too imprecise for me...I would've prefered 0-100, or at least 0-10....something like this: 10 (USA) 9 (Japan, Cuba, Dom Rep) 8 (Other countries with strong professional leagues, i.e. South Korea) 7 (Countries with medium-level leagues, like Canada, Taiwan, Netherlands) 6 (Lower-level leagues, like China, Austraila) 5 (Decent amateur leagues: most of Europe, etc.) 4 (Emerging amateur leagues, like South Africa) 3 (No league, but in strong baseball area: Guatemala, Costa Rica) 2 (No league, but member of IBAF: Armenia, Serbia, Ghana) 1 (No league, not an IBAF member, decent-sized country: Paraguay, Iraq) 0 (Tiny country, no baseball ever: Tuvalu, Kiribati, Antaractica)

Really, Baseball Level shouldn't be an integer. It should have just been relative percentages like the name files.
USA 5000 . . . Iraq 3 Afghanistan 2

Thanks for the list, RMC
I was tweaking it for my own universe and noticed something strange about Iceland. I know there's 0 baseball there, but the next digit is also a 0! If I'm reading that right, it mean's 80 percent of the names for Iceland will be from the American file. I'm sure it should be 10 for Norway. |

If you use 10, are you pleased with the results? |

I wonder if it would be difficult to raise the cap of 40 name sets? I could use more...

I googled language in Iceland and this was at the top:
Icelandic is a Northern Germanic language with about 300,000 speakers in Iceland (Ísland), Canada (Kanada) and the USA (Bandaríki Norður-Ameríku). Icelandic is the closest of the Northern Germanic languages to Old Norse and it is possible for Icelandic speakers to read the Old Norse sagas in the original without too much difficulty. Source: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/icelandic.htm So, I would just use the Norwegian set. Not that it matters, since Iceland has a zero for baseball. |

Born September 18, 1965 in Kabul, Afghanistan He pitched at Oklahoma State. Others from outliers (http://www.baseball-reference.com/bio/other_born.shtml) My favorite is Ed Porray (http://www.baseball-reference.com/p/porraed01.shtml) who must have been born while his family was immigrating.
