What am I missing here?

[Pullo Magnus]

Exactly what are the requirements for founding a corperation?
I'm playing as France in the Rhye's mod for BTS. I want to build the Mining Corperation but it seems I can't.
The year is about 1850, I lead in techs, having both the Corperation and Railroad techs required. I have many surplus resources, all the ones the Mining corperation requires I have at least two of (I've colonized most of central and south america and south africa, conquered Spain and Holland).
I have my Great Engineer sitting there in Paris but the Mining Co. Icon on my UI is still faded, i can't build the company.
What am I missing here?

I've also had this problem with the Sushi company when I played as Japan.
Thanks all for your help!

Are you running state property?

 

[Enigma256]

has it been founded already?

Do you have at least one of the resources it uses?

I had that problem in my last game, I had a Great Scientists waiting around the city in question. When I moved him suddenly the engineer could found the corp. It was odd.

Have you founded any other corporations in Paris?

You could have a couple of different problems, 1stly having state property as one of your civics, or not having the proper resource and/or tech requirement(s), or trying to found in a city that already has a founded corp using one of the required resources -- hope that helps.
