AI requires headstart till 1995

[dastardly]

I just downloaded the Cap Lab but I have been playing Cap2 for a while. so i went to the first scenario and i could not build anything. the minute i click on the 'hammer' it says, AI needs a headstart and i cant build anything till 1995 (the calendar starts at 1990) - effectively i cant play.

what/why happened?

It is actually part of the design of the scenario, with its description as follows:

You have been trying to raise capital for your fashion startup for years. Unfortunately, the fund raising process has been difficult and slow. When you eventually succeed in launching your own fashion company (which is expected to happen 5 years after the game has started), there will be established competitors in the market. Do you have what it takes to carve out a niche with your new fashion brand and thrive in the market?

In the new version 11.0, the first scenario has been replaced with a more user friendly scenario called Home Comforts Co, as listed in https://www.capitalismlab.com/version110/

You can download the post-release beta of v11.0 from from viewtopic.php?t=9964

Alternatively, you can try other scenarios in v10.0, such as the Toys and Gadgets scenario.
