      @@TJ-bg4fw Not if YOU do something un-historical really, really early into the game and freak out the AI. Then it actually gets pretty bloody interesting. For example, I was playing as Germany (on civilian and full strengthen Germany because I planned to war with no allies at all) and began justifying war goals on Poland on February 6th, 1936, claiming 3 States. Then on the 11th of February, 1936 I also began justifying war on Lithuania, claiming Kaunas. I then declared war on Poland and Lithuania as soon as both justifications were done while the game was on pause, so that neither country would be guaranteed by a democratic country.
      Doing this allowed me to circumnavigate everything except for Anschluss on the path to 'Around the Maginot'. Well guess what happened... While I'm doing Around the Maginot (which only takes 28 may I add) Russia starts justifying war goals on me, in 1937.
      Somehow I managed to kill the Soviet Union while taking 18,000 casualties (I kept letting them create a 500km long salient and then closing the neck and just waiting for the attrition to do most of the job killing them) by the June of 1938, and then while declaring war on the low countries (which I didn't notice had been guaranteed by the US) I ended up in a war with Britain, France, the USA and... CUBA?! Funnily enough, I actually lost more troops to Cuba than the other three countries combined, because I just assumed I could face-roll them inside a day without even needing to be tactical in the slightest. I was wrong. They sank my entire invasion force while it was only halfway across the Atlantic :(
      So to summarise, even on historical you can cause the AI to get very unhistorical and confused.

I chose historical focus, and after barely surviving around maginot (because Italy somehow betrayed and invaded Germany in 1939, some crazy shit going on.) I encountered the craziest shit I have ever seen in my entire time playing HOI4, Cuba somehow did an amphibious invasion of USA, and for some reason the US actually surrendered, and Cuba annexed the entirely of the US. I still lost that game due to Germany regaining their initiative, but it was surely an unforgettable experience.

      This was almost literally one of my games. France went fascist and declared on Canada, then joined the Axis when Britain began pushing into French heartlands. Literally hours later, an independent fascist Qing China was attacked by the Soviets (Japan went down their democratic path) and joined the Axis in response.
      It was pretty wild how quickly shit hit the fan. Within a single day the Germans went from being at peace to fighting the Allies and Comintern in 1938. They hadn't even started claiming the Sudetenland yet.

    You forgot to add the part when an infantry managed to obliterate multiple tank squadrons without any anti tank, because supposedly the tank division didn't have any 'armor'. Weird.

Also, the red army lost the Russian civil war, and there’s another civil war which starts in the USA in 1937. It’s hoi4 meets game of thrones basically
