Black Box is annoying!!!
Cant seem to get a game, iv played once with my dorfs, and afterwards I think Iv been trying like 10-15 times to get my second game, but the draw never gets me any games..

Is it because of the dwarfs? or am I just unlucky...?

The more games a team has played, the easier it is to get a game. When a new team goes in the box they can only play against teams within a narrow TV range, and this range slowly increases as you play more games.

Keep plugging at it. You'll be getting smashed by my ogres before you know it.

Here you are:

Below 3 games played, max TV difference allowed is within 10%
For 3 to 9 games played, max TV difference allowed is within 15%
For 10 to 29 games played, max TV difference allowed is (15 + (games - 10) * 2)%
For 30 or more games, any opponent is allowed

Okay... you've played one game?

Question: When you "activate" in the scheduler, are you ticking/greenlighting the dwarves?

After you play a game with a team they are de-activated inside the scheduler, and you need to re-activate them again in further draws.

I've had a simliar problem with new teams but it can be nice to have little breaks between games to get other things done :)
Posted by harvestmouse on 2016-04-27 21:13:17
Yeah I'm guessing it's what ArrestedDevelop is saying, rather than being unlucky. It's happened a few times, which suggests the process isn't that intuitive.

Since you're in europe you shouldn't have the issue of low activation pools the way we do in the west.

Have to just keep on plugging away and eventually the games will come.

Or, you could have the mechanical issue AD mentioned.

I click and activate team and then dorfs come up i press the green "button"
for every draw... Other things done? there are nothing else in my univers than BB ;)

And thx btw for all the answers...

The odds of getting a game using Dwarves is very low.TRy using Wes or UWs. they get games guaranteed.

Jesus is telling you to not play dorfs.

1) Click "Show Activation Panel"
2) Click on Dwarf team to make it green
3) Click on Activate

The number of activated coaches seems to increase even if you don't have any teams highlighted, so if you're missing step #2 it could be deceiving.

Also, putting only one team into the box draw will greatly increase the chances of you becoming the 5th coach. ie: not picked for draws.

its true though, its a little tougher to get a rookie team a game when many people only bring out their multi-game stuff.

just unlucky..lol
Posted by Badpublicity on 2016-04-28 18:00:06
fidius You got it right, i did not press the dwarfteam, and like you said, it add me as coach, now i know why! Thx very much!
