I would recommend that you check out the Capitalism Lab Discord channel: http://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewto ... f=7&t=7019

There is a "challenges" channel where people create private Challenge Games for competition fun.

For more info about Challenge Games, please see https://www.capitalismlab.com/challenge-games/

Hello, David, I hope to increase the AI opponent from 40 to 80 or more, now 40 opponents are not true, many industries have no company to do, this is not the same as reality.Thank you.

Hello, David, I want to increase the number of AI rivals from 40 companies to more than 80, and now 40 competitors are not true, many industries do not have companies to manufacture, which is not the same as reality. Thank you

FYI, you can use a script to increase the number of AI companies up to 50. For details, please see: https://www.capitalismlab.com/scripts/s ... mpetitors/

As for your suggestion of increasing the number of AI companies up to 80, I would recommend that you create a poll for your suggestion to gauge the community's interest in it. There would be a higher chance that the dev team will implement it if the interest level is high.

You could see some examples of the polls in the Suggestions forum at http://www.capitalism2.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=14
