Improved AI
Competitor AI firms now run their operations more effectively and pursue more sophisticated strategies.
AI real estate developers
Some AI companies specialize in real estate development, and they target rural areas where land is cheap. The play is to buy low-cost plots, build new residential and commercial properties on them, and take the large increase in market value once the development is finished.
They need capital to exist. Real estate development is expensive, so these companies only appear when Competitor Startup Capital is set to High or Very High.
Diversified AI companies may also move into real estate as part of a broader growth strategy.
More AI competitors
The maximum number of AI companies has risen substantially — a new game can start with up to 50.
That makes competition far more intense in every industry, and it widens the strategic picture: more rivals means more varied interactions and considerably more scope for mergers and acquisitions.
