To pre-build an AI company without a Chairman, follow these steps:
a) Keep the map paused the whole time.
b) Make sure the human player is selected as the on-screen player (go to stock market and click on the portrait of the human player).
c) Start a new company.
d) Invest at the minimum settings ($100K/$1000K) to keep stock prices low. (If your on-screen player does not have enough cash to start a new company, then enter the cheat: fat cat to give player more cash.)
e) Name the company and give it a logo.
f) Set up territory access rights for the company.
g) Add to to the company cash through “Set Cash”. Add a zero to provide $11 million.
h) Build the track, stations, service towers and maintenance sheds for the company. AI companies will not add towers and sheds to a pre-built rail line, so add them as you build.
i) Buy trains (if this is part of the game story) and set their routes. The AI will reroute the trains, but start with a route so the trains will load at the start of the game.
j) Hand place industry onto the map and buy it for the company. Upgrade the industry if needed – the AI company may not upgrade it.
k) Issue stock if you want the AI company to wait a year before issuing stock. Take out bonds if you want the AI company to start off in debt - realize that the AI company can still issue bonds even with a 'F' credit rating. Use events to control the growth and expansion of the company.
l) Once all the building and buying is done, reset the company cash to ZERO with “Set Cash”. Use an event to set the company cash amount for this company at the start of the game. (Also reset the player's cash with an event.)
m) Sell all of your stock.
n) Resign from the company.
o) Save. Test.
