I don't see that as a problem. It would level the playing field, which is good as the national teams of micro-nations currently don't have a chance. Also, there could be a limit to how many dual citizens you can have on your national teams.

You say level the playing field.... I say sabotage other nations chances...

What's to stop teams from stock piling money, buying a guy holding until nationality changes, then firing?

What stops them from doing so without the nationality change?

I´d prefer double nationalities with no real change in availability. if he´s on one team´s squad (NT wise), he can´t play for the other, if he´s free and not on a NT, both eligible NTs can claim him, no matter when or if he played on any NT team before.

It is not a bad idea. In Battrick once a player has been based in a country for 3 full seasons they become dual nationality and then can be picked for either NT. It is a good system. Happens in all sports. If you live somewhere for long enough abd become a citizen you can play for that country. In fact in the Olympics in Australia we often get weight lifters from Eastern Europe who get citizenship here.

This suggestion came up like a dozen times in different variations and I always loved it. Unfortunately I think this is one of several good suggestions we will never see implemented in this game.

Smaller nations would grow their talent pool without hurting the big nations. Losing a good prospect (team going bot, stubborn/dumb owner) can be devastating for a small nation, so allowing to switch nationalities could help a lot in this regard, as small nations could compensate these losses pretty easily.

I agree.

It also allows users who moved to a new country the option of training a player for their original country.

I like this idea. Maybe make it more than 2 seasons, just seems kinda short. Make it just like soccer, a player gets a cap and thats their country. Could make it all NT games or just competitive ones.

If this even is going to be allowed I think that moving only should be allowed to smaller nations then the one the player comes from


I don't understand why you would restrict it this way.

So if players turn to another nation after a short while we would have lost 50% of our possible future NT players.


I don't see this as an issue if it operates like soccer. Players can get dual citizenship but aren't tied to a country until they play a competitive game.
