Is there a way for editing which countries will host the future World Cups in FM?

i think its hardcoded in the game so no possibility to edit

Have a theory that the settings in the editor that state whether international matches are played or not are a pre requisite for a random selector. Alot of countries had only one stadium for all matches so i have made alot of countries with increased capacities and lots of stadium choices for major matches. Has already worked with Australia being granted the 2011 Asian Cup which usually happened in 2027 when i ran a holiday game to see the usual progression. Anyway, will return with results.

logic.. but i think there are some group of elite countries... and then it's random select from these countries.. of course... some countries have bigger chances some smaller .. To BE HOST COUNTRY

I don't know about the CM4 series, but CM3 the way it worked was the host had a rotation every 8 cups, between 3 nations.

So Picture 2006 as Cup #1, 2010 as Cup #2, etc.


Cup 1 was assigned 3 nations
Cup 2 was assigned 3 nations
Cup 3 was assigned 3 nations
....
Cup 8 was assigned 3 nations

The game then chose between these 3 nations to host the cup every 8 cups when it was the turn to choose between one of the nations in that set.

So even though it was hard coded, there was still a very small amount of uncertainty to it.

Does that make sense to anyone? Its hard to explain

Having run it for a little while, i can probably agree that there is a pool of nations that are chosen from (mainly because the order changes for which nations host the Asian Cup or this may be because i had Australia league running which is asian). The best way to solve this may be to post a list of which countries hosts which comps in which year from everybody's games. It doesn't matter if we all use the same db or not (would actually be better if some are running the default and other running modified dbs).

Is there enough interest in this topic to make this worth bothering with? I have always been interested in host nations through out the many CM/FM incarnations but there has been surpirisingly little written on the topic.

Discussion on the same topic from the 2006 game that i found that may be worth looking over. I love the punchline at the end.

Im sure in previous versions it was in the editor, You just went to the history for the cup, and you could do host nation/ stadium. And you could put for example: 2009 Champions League Final, Nene Park, Irthlingborough.
Excuse me if i speak bu11$hit, or you dont understand me.

I love how there could be a simple answer on this and yet, no one will give us an official answer one way or another and how people have spent YEARS trying to figure this out. C'mon..
