Hey guys,

just a couple of questions:

- Does ist take more off your stamina (yellow bar) if you use to hold position or use the dot?
- What decides the speed of your cyclist if the yellow bar has zero stamina left?
- Ist there any way to find out how much stamina an opponent has left? Like animations. (I would even accept a cheat here for experimenting)
- What colour on mountains/hills stands for which ability being mainly used? Green, Orange, Red, Black
- How does the ability of the outliers work? When is it activ and which bonusses does it provide?

Technical issues:

- I am missing stage textures, some of mine are washed up even though the rest is on maximum. It concerns also the names written on the street by fans. Completly washed up, can't figure out a single name. Is there a known way to fix that?
- Unfortunately profiles of older reitred cyclists get deleted. And under results you can see just like the last 25 results of the grand tours. So if I can't remember the winners for example, I had no chance to look it up anymore. Can I change it?

Hey guys,

I posted a similar thread a while ago. I was told that I could use a game setting slider to increase the influence of attributes on classics and stage races. I played a couple of years with even 3x the value of attributes but still have the following crucial issues:

I can't gain distance. I am on the last or second to last mountain, I lost my whole team by me attending to drop as many drivers as possible. Which often leads to a peleton of the size of 50 men. 35 men at average I would guess. Then I chose to attack and got countered everytime by the other favourites. You can imagine it like a ball of bubblegum, I begin to stretch it, favourites come after and then the peleton. The favourites always keep following me until I need to stop the attack. And the rest of the drivers are able to stick close enough to the end of the favourites-train to make the gum fall back into its former form. Using the dot only doesn't work. I simply can't reach a speed that the other drivers can't follow.

It is me, most likely with a 82-83 mountain driver against 5-8 drivers with 80-82 in that attribute. And then there are a lot of drivers with 78-79 who can easily following nearly everything.

Just in a very very huge mountain stage the peleton breaks eventually with less than 8 kilometers to go. And you know, those 8 kilometers are over in a few seconds. So there is no enjoyment of an actualy favourite chase and no possibilities to use any tactics to win.

I am know checking my databases and compare these. My current database and savefile have like 80-100 drivers with 80 mountain at least. I got the feeling that this is way to many. I see, the original database of the game year 2026 has just 3 drivers over 80 and just a couple over 79.

How can I avoid that?

Do you have any other tipps or ideas how I can fix my issues?

Regards

Hey guys,

I finished season 2 again. And I now remember why I struggled to recall most of the story. It was a drag. Especially the storyline with neeve? the prositute was so boring. I had to skip it in the end.

So the hosts decided to take the door and leave their bodies behind. And I don't understand what this virtuell world actually is. I mean, I can't be anything else than a network right? Their minds are uploaded and on servers. But how is that suppose to free them? If you destroy the server, their minds are lost. They are still depending on physical objects to exist. So next question would be, where are those servers?

Another question would be how Stubbs knew that he is freeing a Host? Is he a host himself?

Thank you in advance

Hey guys,

I had a good run over more than 10 years, but then I was inspired by a youtube series called like "the asian dream" and thought about creating a purely african team. And stopped excactly then. Last week I did it with a new savegame, but it took to me well over 10 years to be able to drive a grand tour. Just could not built a team that was strong enough. It became boring.

Yesterday I though about a pure german team, but there aren't many good german cyclicsts and the nation is too big to make it fun.

Now I am out of ideas. A mixed team is... I don't know. I can't identify with any cyclists at all.

Do you have any cool ideas for a team build?

Hey guys,

I play the the pcm for about 10 years. Then and when. What never really changed appears to be the rushed mountain phases. Every time I am in the mountains, I want to get the feeling you have while watching the tours on screen. You see groups become smaller and smaller, people attacking, catching up, and it is very interesting to see overall how the mountains play out.

However in the game you mostly have your your group of contenders (like 30-40) split on the last mountain climb, if you are not on a stage with more than category 1 or higher mountains in one stage. I am a bit dissapointed by that.

I mean, I saw some things happening that impressed me. A huge breakaway splittet, Vinegaard got protected after his attack like 3 times by a teammember for a brief moment. But I don't even know if that was intentional or those guys were just dead and vinegaard was lucky to take some protection by them.

The rest of the stages are boring, I mean, you can enjoy a couple of stages, see how they detailed the stages and take some impressions. But it is not a real tour, no one is telling you about the villages you pass, about the mountains you climb etc. so you have the flat stages for what feels an eternity, which is why I put the tempo on x8, until the mountains come. And then it's mostly the same, until the absolut favourite attacks on the last climb. I rarely see another contender actually attacking. There also appears to be no fighting for ranks like 2-10.

Can you agree? Or Am I doing something wrong that I experience the game this way? Does a higher difficulty change something? Are there even patches, mods, that are boosting the intelligence of the drivers?

Hey guys,

Just me telling you about my latest journey. I was a couple of seconds behind Pogacar with Seixes in the Tour der France when I experienced that Pogacars Team took no effort to keep him in yellow. There was a huge breakaway group in a mountain stage, full with people behind around 10 minutes. I thought that the time-distance would shrink automaticly, but at the end I was suprised that 4 or more drivers now had like 4 minutes on me and pogacar. That eventually won Oscar Onley the Tour de France. Pogacar still made it to the second place though.

So I just want to war you, mainly the inexperienced people, to take break away groups seriously. Especially with former contenders that fell behind in them.

Have a great week

hey guys,

I am pretty sure in one of the season trailers we see them finally open the locked door in the colony house. Since we have just one episode of the season left and the spoilers, SPOILER WARNING, does not mention the door being opened, SPOILER ENDING, I am wondering when and how we are actually seeing this happen. Do you have any idea?

Hey guys,

just want to know how I can enable the possibility to make 3 team trades.

thx

Hello guys and girls,

Mir wird aktuell immer mal wieder bei Instagramm itsofficalmarko angezeigt in den shorts. Und mich persönlich stört diese extrem überstereotypisierte Art und Weise wie er Auftritt. Für Leute, die ihn bisher nicht kennen, er macht Sketches in denen er typische Alltagssituationen nachspielt u.a mit Müttern, die er dann auch darstellt. Dabei kreischt er, gestikuliert wild und bedient allgemein dieses unsägliche stereotypische Bild von homosexuellen Männern. Dabei kann ich aus persönlicher Erfahrung sagen, dass diejenigen Schwulen, die ich kennen gelernt habe, genaus individuell und so wenig stereotypisch waren wie nicht homosexuelle Männer.

Update: Leider fehlte ein Absatz, der mir besonders wichtig war. Ich habe den Thread geöffnet, weil ich gerne eure Einordnung wissen würde, ob ihr mein Empfinden als homophob einordnet oder ihr meine Wahrnehmung und Meinung teilen könnt. Vielleicht ist er wirklich so wie er sich gibt. Aber ich nehme es persönlich als sehr unauthentisch wahr und hab den Eindruck er nutzt gezielt diese unsäglichen Charakteristika die manche Leute stereotypischerweise homosexuellen Männern zuordnen.

Hey guys,

in the last episode Boyd explained a bit how it was when he arrived in town and how they still needed to hide during the nights back then. I find that very interesting to see to be honest. Must have been a really rough and wild time. No wonder that two of the leading personalities in town are from that period with Donna and Boyd.

Would you also like to see maybe just a Episode, Flashback, of that period?

Hey guys,

are you sure that the lighttower gave us the dates of every cycles beginnig?

• 1506
• 1609
• 1672
• 1723 (or 1793)
• 1752
• 1864
• 1883
• 1931
• 1978

If we take that for sure, we must rule out, that a cycle immediatly begins when another ended. Otherwise even a 1 year old child would have been 121 years old when the cycle between 1672 and 1793 ended. And that includes this particular person being the last one to die. It is not impossible, but is very very unlikely. Therefore I would rule out, that one cycle begins as soon as another ended.

And it also makes me doubting, that those dates represents the beginnings of the cycles.

Hey guys,

I don't want to talk about how storywalking works logically. But I am interesting in how it will work for Julie in the future.

Do you think she will always have a seizure when storywalking and therefore depending on someone watching over her? Or do you think she becomes kinda independent?

I am also wondering if Julie needs to keep starting her storywalks from the same place. If yes, what is the place actually, that it does provide storywalking for certain characters?

Hey guys,

when I think about actual fighting scenes of golems and scarecrows, that came alive, I feel like that wouldn't really fit to from. From with all its mysteries hasn't been an absolute fantasy popcorn blockbuster, but gently put the supernatural elements into its world. And despite the monsters we haven't actually visually seen much fantasy creatures coming alive.

Do you think the scarecrows will actually come to a live?

Even if I think it doesn't fit from, I would much rather be disapointed at this point, if the attack of the scarescrows were just a vision or a dream someone of our township will have.

How do you think about that?

Hey guys,

in the latest episode I noticed that we kinda saw a different side of the MIY. And I felt like we had him shown so different this time, that there could be a meaning behind it.

We experienced him kinda playfull, enjoying pulling strings and manipulate things and people.

This time he did appear as he doesn't given shit about those things. As if he was is a very early state of development. Maybe even unable to speak. Just driven by instincts.

Do you think the MIY developed to a higher being in fromville? Do you think we maybe didn't saw the man in yellow as the "entity" we mean when talking about him, rather than just the guy, he later disguised as?

Hey guys,

do you think that the imprisoned child was real or just a vision? As far as I can remember we have seen just those children that were sacrficed. They were always seen "free" and not imprisoned.

If it is an actual living child, why weren't there any measurements taken to free it? Especially considering the importance of children in the story.
