Forcing Non-historical AI focuses

[Miyu]

Can i somehow force the AI to pick other focuses in different games? 100% of the games, germany goes Rhineland, Poland gets its alliance with Romania etc etc.

[jimes]

you click the historical focus button off..

It is off. I am not that stupid.

AI chooses focus as an RNG.

Therefore, the only way that you can "force" AI to choose non-historical focus is to either mod it or you switch those decision yourself unfortunately.

AI even on historical mode off is desinged to choose certain focuses.

Poland AI for example is just hard coded to make their own faction. Chance of Germany picking the civil war tree is also very small.

Wish i could just do a game as Austria hungary where germany goes for Kaiser... In Ironman

For clarity, you'll have to let us know exactly how stupid in the future so we can better help. :-p

Jokes aside, while choices are 'hard-coded' in historical, nonhistorical gives a % chance. its not an even percent chance as EvilNick points out, but there is still a chance for most options, afaik. So, to answer your question, if some of the changes you want to see only have say a 5% chances of being chosen, you'd have to queue up 20 games or so to catch it (or be really lucky).

Eh that is a shame, since germany 50% if the times goes for the economic parts of the tree before going for the political part, it would take a long time to see it happen. Or i could just save scum it i guess..

So after like 10 restarts, German still goes for Rhineland every time.

You can by console commands, pause the game, switch tag country, select the focus you want them to go through and then switch back to your own country. Other than that no you can't make sure they follow a certain path.

Well technically speaking, if you support a political party in a country and they gain control, they should choose focuses that correspond to their political party. Obviously this only works for a few countries and doesn't work if the country has already chosen a different focus.

I suppose thats the only way. Though I would have liked to keep ironman on.

Shame you cant boost non-aligned parties.

If you wait to protect bohemia after they get the event to give up sudetenland, you fully annex and get a wargoal against germany. instead of them going to protectorate and never really get to annex. then you get to invade romania and maybe bulgaria. after that you can invite turkey to faction and your position is pretty strong, convert to facist soon after.

When Death or Dishonor came out, my first game with Hungary ended with my troops occupying Canada and on the borders of USA.. Although recently my games arent in my favor that much.

you can use the tag command to switch to germany or any country you want and select the focus you want to happen. Then switch back.

Thanks for repeating what I said.
