New storyline control options: book a story yourself, approve writer pitches, or hand it to a writer completely. Writers now actually book their assigned stories every week.
Storylines page redesigned. See who controls each story, its next step, paused stories, and stories ready for a payoff.
Removed the automatic "Aftermath" follow-up stories. You choose if a story continues.
Stories pause when someone in them gets injured, and their heat is protected while paused.
Fixed: auto-booking was ignoring active storylines. All auto-book options include story segments again.
Story steps can be reordered, and each step shows why it exists.
Booking Screen
Drag and drop now swaps spots. Drop your main event on slot 6 and the slot 6 match becomes the new main event.
Slot labels follow the real card order now: first match is the Opener, last match is the Main Event, and labels update when you move things.
Gold is main event only now. Title matches show in blue so they don't look like a second main event.
Storyline names show in gold on card segments.
Fixed: "Let Booker Plan" did the same thing as "Let Booker Book". It now drafts one segment for you to review and edit before it's added.
Fixed: the Smart Book report showed doubled names ("A vs B vs A vs B") and wrong slot labels.
Fixed: the guide asked for more segments when the card was already full. All counts use the show's real suggested size now.
Big Events and Eras
Big events follow their era now: the right events, schedule, and money for the time period. Supercards act like supercards.
Fixed duplicate big events landing in the same month.
Older saves repair their event calendars automatically on load.
Closed-circuit broadcasts show up as earned offers in the eras where they belong.
Money
Unpaid bills matter now. They show up as real expenses and real pressure instead of being ignored.
Every finance screen reads from the same numbers.
Rebalanced TV rights, sponsors, and merch to match your promotion's size and era. Deep rosters can earn signature merch.
Fixed rival contracts and payroll so bidding wars are fair.
World Health
The world creates new wrestlers again. Rosters age, retire, and refresh instead of staying frozen.
One shared title picture: contenders come from real results and real storylines.
