Description of issue
Japan goes Non-Aligned every game

Game Version
v1.6.0

Enabled DLC
Together for Victory,
Death or Dishonor,
Man The Guns

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Description
Japan is going Non-Aligned in every single one of my games, this is with historical focuses ON. I have every DLC but Waking the Tiger, so I cannot choose which focus path Japan follows. This is stopping the entire Pacific War from even starting. This happened in my single player games and a multiplayer game.

Steps to Reproduce
Play a game without WTT as a country other than Japan, my most recent one was with the Netherlands. Have historical focuses turned ON.

Oh man, the problems with this new system just keep coming.

So, here's what I think the problem is:

Japan's game rules section requires WtT, which is the same issue for all countries that have DLC focus trees - or even just parts of DLC focus trees but otherwise vanilla trees (such as UK, US, Germany).

Code:
JAP_ai_behavior = {
    name = "JAP_AI_BEHAVIOR"
    required_dlc = "Waking the Tiger"
    group = "RULE_GROUP_AI_BEHAVIOR"
    default = {
        name = DEFAULT
        text = "RULE_OPTION_DEFAULT"
        desc = "RULE_OPTION_DEFAULT_AI_DESC"
    }
    option = {
        name = COMMUNIST
        text = "RULE_OPTION_COMMUNIST"
        desc = "RULE_OPTION_COMMUNIST_JAP_AI_DESC"
    }
    option = {
        name = NEUTRALITY
        text = "RULE_OPTION_NEUTRALITY"
        desc = "RULE_OPTION_NEUTRALITY_JAP_AI_DESC"
    }
    option = {
        name = DEMOCRATIC
        text = "RULE_OPTION_DEMOCRATIC"
        desc = "RULE_DEMOCRATIC_JAP_AI_DESC"
    }
    option = {
        name = FASCIST
        text = "RULE_OPTION_FASCIST"
        desc = "RULE_FASCIST_JAP_AI_DESC"
        allow_achievements = yes
    }
    option = {
        name = RANDOM
        text = "RULE_OPTION_RANDOM"
        desc = "RULE_OPTION_RANDOM_AI_DESC"
    }
}

Now, if you look at the requirements for Japan's historical AI strategy, we can see the problem (I think):

Code:
    enable = {
        original_tag = JAP
        OR = {
            AND = {
                is_historical_focus_on = yes
                has_game_rule = {
                    rule = JAP_ai_behavior
                    option = DEFAULT
                }
            }
            has_game_rule = {
                rule = JAP_ai_behavior
                option = FASCIST
            }
            has_country_flag = JAP_AI_RANDOM_FASCIST
        }
        MAN = {
            is_ai = yes
        }
    }

So, for any of these options to be selected, WtT is required, because the DEFAULT, FASCIST and JAP_AI_RANDOM_FASCIST options all require WtT. If you don't own it, the historical AI route is effectively disabled because the game cannot locate any of those three system flags. As a result, it is forced to fall back to ahistorical mode.

It looks to me that if you don't own WtT then the German and Japanese historical AI is completely broken. The same is true for the Chinas and Manchuria, but these don't have vanilla focus trees so it's not as much of an issue.

God knows how many other focus trees will have this issue, but assuming the pattern is the same for all other DLCs and affected trees, it basically means that unless you own all DLC then this new custom rules system is broken.

@AndrewT - you might want to flag this as a code red.
