Bug: No new AI after a "Friendly Merger"

[mwyeoh]

Hi David

When there is a friendly merger,no new AI company is generated to replace them.
Because of this, in my current Challenge game 06, the game is down to 16 AI, making it increasingly easier for Treetop to dominate the market. Now over 2 billion in profit!

Same problem here. After about the 4th mergers, no newcomer even though there are more mergers. I even tried with the AI aggressiveness setting in "very high" as in high risk high reward.

The game will not create new corporations using previously used logos (those who have been merged into other companies) until a number of years later.

This will be addressed later as we are planning to add new corporate logos to the game.

Yes, I noticed this, it wasn't until later that new corporations were formed.

On a side note, is it possible to experiment with perhaps increasing the maximum number of AI even further (After new logos are made)? Perhaps to 40-45 or beyond? Or would this put too much stress on the game engine?
