Built from LMAST-Reverse commit
390fbc9.
How each change works, and how it was tested, is in that commit's
LMASTER_MOD.md.

Full and Max need a new career. The real names and real grounds
change the clubs' and stadiums' data, so careers from 0.1.0 may not
work correctly on this version. Don't load them on 0.2.0, even though
they use the same save folders (-F, -M). The game won't stop you,
so delete them once you've moved to 0.2.0; they only work on the 0.1.0
disc they came from. Lite saves are
unaffected: Lite's new changes are text and match fixes only.

Since 0.1.0, the "Renew Mobile Site" PR event has been tried in a real
game: it's offered, can be booked and is reported in the month-end mail.

Added (Full and Max)

  • Real names. Leagues, competitions, clubs, nations and national
    teams take their real names of the 2005-06 season, in all five
    languages, where the original made them up (Highbury is Arsenal FC,
    the European League the UEFA Champions League). They match the logos
    and kits of LMAST Realism.
    • Clubs use their official names as far as the game's 18 characters
      allow (Olympique Lyonnais, Eintr. Frankfurt), and Spanish clubs
      are written without dots (FC Barcelona, Real Madrid CF).
    • International competitions carry UEFA's and FIFA's names (UEFA
      EURO, FIFA World Cup and their qualifiers), and the Standings menu's
      club ranking reads "UEFA Ranking".
    • Nations and national teams take FIFA's 2005-06 names
      (Serbia-Montenegro, Republic of Ireland, Côte d'Ivoire).
    • The news and rules texts that mention a competition are rewritten
      to match. (the French, German, Italian and Spanish texts need extra
      testing)
  • Real stadium names. Every club plays at its 2005-06 ground, named
    without sponsors where the ground has another name
    (Westfalenstadion, not Signal Iduna Park).
  • Your stadium is named after you, not your city.
  • Grounds of their real size. Each computer club's ground holds
    about its 2005-06 capacity (within 3,000 seats), and looks the part:
    only Camp Nou gets the biggest bowl, and clubs of the same size are
    spread over different grounds, so they don't all look alike.
  • More varied sponsor boards. Every ground's advert boards are
    drawn from all 205 sponsor logos. Small grounds repeat a few sponsors
    (three at the smallest) and grounds from 55,000 show twelve different
    ones. Your rival's ground keeps its own boards.

Changed (Full and Max)

  • The Special stadium holds 100,000, not 110,000, and so do the
    biggest computer clubs' grounds that share its size.
    (needs extra testing)

Fixed

  • Pressing counts at every level (Lite, Full and Max). A player's
    press tendency only ever counted as level 0 or 1 in matches, so levels
    2 to 4 pressed no harder than 1. (needs extra testing: whether
    high-pressing sides now play differently)
  • Game Over conditions name the right leagues (Lite, Full and Max).
    Spain's named the Italian League B in English and German, and the
    Netherlands' named a Spanish or German league in English, French,
    German and Spanish.
  • The Spanish introduction to the leagues says 26 clubs, not 216
    (Lite, Full and Max).
  • "AL-Hyde" is spelled "Al-Hyde" (Lite; in Full and Max the club is
    Al-Sadd).
