Way to use the editor to make a child org?

[dalai2]

Is there any way I can use  the editor to force a company to become a child org of another?

Only in the main editor, you can't do it from within a save game.

How do you do it in the main editor?

You would edit the company relationships.

Say I create a company in the Main Editor, set their debut for the following month after the current month of my saved game and then I import said company into my saved game. Is there some kind of magic number of debt this company would need to be in for me to be able to successfully attempt a take over and make them my child organization? Let's say they debut that following month, is there a certain amount of months I have to wait before they will even entertain a take over (even if I edit their finances into the negatives (if that's possible))?

 

Essentially, I'm trying to find a work around so that my company in my main save can have a child organization. I'm in year 2008 and all 9 companies in existence are making profits and are unwilling to sell, so I'm trying to figure out an alternative so that I can end up w/ a Child Org.

I believe this is covered in the handbook, but to recap: it doesn't matter what level of debt a company has, they have to have been in debt for a consecutive number of months, the number based on their size, before they'll consider allowing a takeover.
