Degrees of Alternativeness

Description
Tired of the linear historical course of events in the game, but afraid of chaos and anarchy in a non-historical mode? This mod allows you to select multiple options when starting a non-historical game, which will decrease or increase the chance of the AI choosing different non-historical paths. Thus, you can adjust to your liking the degree of alternative history in the gameplay. A couple of starting rules have also been added to restrict creating or joining alliances, which can be useful for adjusting the chaos with unwarranted alliances in non-historical mode.

NOTES:

- the choice of the degree of alternativeness is offered to the human player in the scenario of 1936 with the historical mode turned off;
- mod only affects the choice of a common path for all countries, it does not make changes to the probability of choosing some options in events for AI or making individual decisions. Therefore, even the soft alternative is already fundamentally different from the historical mode, although it greatly reduces the number of non-historical outcomes of various events.
- mod affects the probability of a country choosing a path only if the default or random option is selected in the starting rules for the country. You can choose predefined paths for individual countries as usual, and they will follow them regardless of the choice in the mod's start event;
- mod technically does not require any DLC, but in fact it makes sense to use it only if there are as many add-ons as possible;
- mod affects few files in the game, so it should be compatible with most other mods that do not fundamentally change the entire game world, but leave most countries on the map with vanilla focuses, for example, with the UAA mod. Also specifically added compatibility with the global mods The Road to 56 and The Great War Redux.

Text localization of the mod: English, Russian, Polish (by Numbus) and Brazilian Portuguese (by N7_Paragon). Not ironman-compatible.

Okay, I have sent you a friend request.

Numbus, yes, you can put the archive with the localization on a public hosting and send a link, then I will add it to the mod.

I have created a polish translation, how could I send it to you so you can integrate it into the mod?

Waffless, in theory, at least in part

Is it still compatible with Road to 56?
