Private Initiatives?

[unmerged(96944)]

I am playing the USA in Ricky and keep getting pop-ups of an event and the results say "Private Initiatives increased by xx%".

WTF is a private initiative and is there any way to control it?? I can find no reference to it anywhere.

Thank you ahead of time.

It changes the likelihood of the Private Inititive event occuring, which results in the creation of a random factory or railraod somewhere.

However, I've found that the event doesn't actually create the factory half the time, and never creates the railroad, so I ignore it.

I can locate the actual Private Initiative event in the economics_events.txt; but I haven't been able to locate the message that he is getting. Is it hid in another event file somewhere or is it hard-coded in the .exe?

It is the effect of several economic inventions.

That is very dissappointing. Paradox has done so well and then to have this kind of thing ---- well nobody's perfect.

Thanks again all.

I don't know if I've ever seen one of those private initiative events in any game I've ever played.

That event was meant to simulate private factory building before Revolutions. It's redundant now.

Guess what!

After all this discussion in late 1890's a private initiative happened. It was a real non-event for me and can't even remember what it was. :wacko:

Thanks again for your interest.
