Non Historic AI focus choices.

[Toppopia]

Maybe its just my luck but I never seem to see Soviet Union do anything other than Officer Purge or Germany 99% of the times does Rhineland. Is the AI actually set to be perfectly unbiased and its pure rng or are some focus's set to have a higher percentage pick rate than others?

Prior 1.5 the most unhistorical thing happened in my games was France become commie. Then i decided to look into game files and noticed that AI weights non-historical focuses was very low. For example. according to 1.4.2 game files, France wasn't allowed to go faciest. German always took Danzig or War and never form Berlin-Moscow Axis.

If i understand game files correctly now Germany in 1 case out of 10 will took Oppose Hitler NF

did 10 games with CS hoping Germany get oposing Hitler, they didnt, so again and again defensive war which is screwed in mid 1940 by Britain attacking neutral Yugoslavia

In my non-historical run as Germany I saw Soviet Union ignore the Great Purge causing the civil war to erupt, then picking the Great Purge focus but not killing anyone causing another civil war and getting Trotsky back. After that a 3rd civil war broke out which I believe was caused by a big support for democratic party. I have never experienced such a playthrough before Waking the Tiger but it was amazing!

I had recently also very "nice" chain of events.

There was civil war in Japan and war between Japan and China never started. China was overruled by communism.

Various factions and alliances were built in Europe - France started Etente with Romania Czechs and Yougoslavia, Poland made baltic one and Italy formed its own.

Germany started civili war (fascists won though) and was later defeated by Polish and France ally.

Soviets started civil war as well.

WW2 literaly never triggered in full scale.

In my last 3-4 games Japan didnt attack China AT ALL.

They turned neutral. Shogunate;

Also rarely communist France, Russian Civil war (which gets stomped)

If you have the Hook on historical Focuses for AI the AI will use it. The AI will take all historical things in the Tree and the Events to play like happend in history.

If you play unhistorical (turn out the historical Focuses) the AI have choises and history could change.

But I like to play historical so I let the hook on.

Oh, and now i am trying to play China but i dont want to fight Japan early

Guess what: even after 10 reloads Japan goes left instead of right, whilst before as Germany the went neutral 4 times in a row

Nearly seems like the AI is biased against the player

yeah, when I played CS germany always rhine, anshluss, sudets, and when I was sick of it I chose to play as fascist country(hungary), they chose to go for king and alies :D

I decided to have a look to see if theres a mod that makes the AI truly random in what focuses it takes. Oddly enough there isn't one. But I have also noticed the AI feels like it tries to be biased against you. You be communist, so AI focuses on being fascist etc. I'm sure its not true it just feels like it.

The ai post cornflakes will do non historical focus's if you dont do historical focus's.

Just saw how AI Poland beat crap out of AI Germany after German's Danzig or War ultimatum

[Toppopia]

I made a mod that in theory makes AI choose any focus randomly and the outcomes for focuses should be random as well. This means if say Poland seeks Western help theres a 50/50 chance they accept or decline. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1333225239
