Sorry for my bad english

The 300 companies won't start all at once. The game uses a static file with predefined foundation dates to mimic real-life company foundations.

If you're looking at the stock broker for a list of companies, note that companies will not go public immediately. They time their IPOs to maximize profits.

You can find a list of companies in the reports by clicking Industrials -> Company Directory. Starting a game in 1900, with the original game files, should have 40 starting companies, with the other 260 companies starting at various points in time. Should too many companies go out of business or get bought out, the game will dynamically generate more companies.


If your concern is a lack of competition, note it will take several years for these companies to get fully up and running.

In this save I started at 1948, and there are no companies, not just no IPO's, but if I enter in the list of the most sold cars of all time ( and on the last 12 months as well), there is simply no data, and if I go and enter in a city on the map to see my competition, there is no data as well.
But thank you for the response btw

Please send me the save game: https://wiki.gearcity.info/doku.php?id=troubleshooting:steam_savegamefile

Sent to the email! Thanks for all the support. I really enjoy this game and the fact that the developer gets in contact and tries to fix mistakes makes me love it even more!

Thank you for the save file and the kind words.

There are 75 active companies in the save game.

You started the game with Establish AI "Estabelecer IA" Disabled. This means that the AI companies in the game start with nothing, just like you.

AI companies only make four turns per year. Their turns happen in the quarter months (3,6, 9, 12). The save game you sent me was on 2/1948, so the AI has not had a turn yet. Simulate 6-12 months, and you should see some AI activity.

If you want the AI to establish companies (have branches, cars, factories, etc) at the start of the game, you need to enable "Estabelecer IA" when setting up the game.

Oh, thank you so much! I always turn Establish IA on, but on this game I forgot... looks like I will have to create another save hehe.

If it still is empty after that, let me know. But it worked last time I tried it. :)
