So I realised this is a bit of a classic for a number of hardcore brokensjnf8ewhce8.com, and there are already a few people here on Base with their stories/challenges about their San Marino career (club, country, both and even more!)
The double San Marino Challenge is something I've always cherished since CM 2003-04 but I had never really tried to replicate that exhausting feat on FM until Ubernisation and his story (link will follow) inspired me again.
For those unfamiliar with San Marino football, the challenge consists in taking the club (which competes in the Italian leagues system) from serie C2 to international success, while also taking the national side (which is absolutely rubbish, below 200th in Fifa rankings) to a respectable level.
This is how things look at the start of the game

A key to improve the NT side is of course developing good academy/recruitment/training/youth facilities at the club, so in the years you will hopefully produce some decent local talent and drastically improve the atrocious standard of Sammarinese footballers.
But San Marino the club needs money to get things started and help San Marino the NT, and you're not getting any $$$ as long as you're stuck in the Italian lower leagues. So to get that vital cash from sponsorships and TV deals you'll need to reach Serie A asap, and stay there for good of course. From then on, sky is the limit for the Most Serene Republic of San Marino (that is actually the full official name)
I would like this thread to be more than a challenge, a sort of... base for all the brave San Marino managers around (I know you're out there!), yep the SM Base on FM Base. My own career is going strong (focusing on the club right now), I'm in... the future right now and quite happy with where I am, will post details of previous seasons in future posts.
Fellow SM managers, here's what I'd like to see from you:
- if you have your own san Marino story/challenge thread on FM-base just let me know and I'll post a link here on OP so it will be easier to find for those interested. Personally I would follow any other sammarinese experience!
- you have found a tactic that seems just perfect for San Marino (club or country), and maybe it's helping your international side achieving unlikely, respectable results? Share with your fellow Titani veterans.
- tell us about your best signings through your career. You have a striker from your time in C2 still on board in serie A, maybe your current captain (just saying...)? Post some screens of your cult players, squads, best 11 etc
- hopefully one day your youth academy, which is non-existent at the start of the game, will produce a promising (or at least decent) youngster, or maybe you will spot the one-in-a-lifetime foreign wonderkid with dual sammarinese nationality. Just post your best sammarinese regens
- any other question, idea or experience you want to share about your career with club and/or country are welcome.
Will start posting more details & screens about my own career in the next days, hopefully this thread will generate some interest.
