AI Doesn't Set Up Firms

[mrgarrettscott]

I recently started a game and it is May 1900 and none of the AI have built a firm as of yet. Any ideas on what might cause this?

If your game's AI Competitors Aggressiveness is Low or Very Low, the AI's activities are suppressed in the first few years.

If this is not the case, you may save your game and set the game speed to the Fastest and see how long it takes for the AI to make their first moves.

If it still behaves strangely, you could send me your save game and I will check it for you.

I am using a custom script and AI Competitor Aggressiveness doesn't exist anymore; however, in its place, I had AI Pricing Aggressiveness but NOT AI Expansion Aggressiveness. Could that be the cause?

[David]

When the script does not specify a value for AI Competitor Aggressiveness, the game will use the current setting of AI Competitor Aggressiveness on the New Game Setup menu.

If you are not sure what it is for your game, you can press F9 in-game to see it.
