@Kuoki because the inner sadist in me feels that if a player lets things get so bad that their future enemies literally have millions of caps, then clearly something has gone wrong and they need to rethink their strategy; even still, it's just a few factories for a LOT of caps, it won't do much for someone who isn't dedicated to making money.

can't you just remove it from being used by the AI?

@The Penis Man do you have the caps system enabled? It self-hides if you don't, and ERX has it off at the start.

Unfortunately nothing is showing up in my decisions

i like it. will try it out on my next run which isn't a larger Nation. Kudos ;)

simpson, just look at the prices on the screenshots

@Brandon12340987 Yes, but even if they can afford the cost, the AI is weighted to have a very, very small chance (only 0.1 weight) of picking any of these decisions unless they've gone decently enough in either the Engineering or Industry tech trees, which they're not really weighted to do until years have passed in-game. So while it's unlikely, if a nation has turned into a Threat they'll be able to purchase a few factories occasionally, at which point there's more worrisome problems for you going on than the enemy having a few more factories

would a.i also use this, being a decision i dont think they would?

This is a good idea for OWB, ignore the comment below.

why would you ever download this mod
big countries can just build the factories manually
smaller countries won't have that kind of money up until a year or less of saving and even then they can manually build them
in other words:
