number of competitors is inconsistent with my setup

[markyears]

It seems to me a glitch: The number of competitors is usually inconsistent with my setup: Suppose I set 18 competitors, then in the game, sometimes it gives me 15, 12, etc.

Any hint on this?

You may let the game run for a while and see if there will be more AI competitors.

If the problem persists, you may send me your save game file and I will look into it.

I see. I just tried and yes, there are more companies joining. But why they did show up from the very beginning?

Thanks!
