In the prior builds the ai in your cities would build private industry from lvl 1-3 over the course of the game. With 1.2.6 and beyond, it does not do this. At start of game the AI MAY sometimes build lvl 1 but will never improve beyond lvl 1 no matter how much money you put into the private economy. Also, if the AI cannot get the funds in the first few turns when it says next construction "industry" it will switch to something else and never try to build it again.

I've also noticed its seems much harder for Private Industry to develop. My last game was absolutely starved for IP.
Maybe I've seen one Private Industry II since 1.26 or about 9 months ago, maybe.
They do switch out quite frequently, but it doesn't seem to be switching back in like it used to.

Yes that might be right. The private economy might be overfocussing on capitalizing on building mines it can use profit from high market prices. Will make a change to next update! thx guys!
