I only ask because I'm trying to do the Macau achievement without having to bother with the UK, and the UK has stayed dem on my last 10 or so restarts.

Germany flicks between RL and CW, the SU regularly implodes, Japan sometimes gets a CW.

But the UK and France aaaallllwwwaaayyysss stay DEM in my ahistorical playthroughs.

Is it just bad RNG for me?

I've done 7 games in non historical, the interesting thing to me is that Hitler loses 3vwry time. It almost seems like it's a done deal on non historical.

Interestingly in this one I'm doing now, Spain lost the CW for the first time and UK is breaking up for the first time also.

Yes, some of the less likely outcomes have been increased slightly, and countries now pick a path rather than randomly picking focuses, on ahistorical.

It shouldn't mean you encounter the same thing every time, however - we tested that quite thoroughly.

This tweaking must have missed the USA. I've probably never seen them go ahistorical even once, the most ahistorical thing they can do is pick Alf instead of FDR and stay neutral for eternity.

Is it on purpose that Hitler always get opposed in ahistorical?
I don’t think so, but they did increase the chance of it happening considerably. Before that the chance was in the regime of borderline impossible.

Thank you for this change. I think Ahistorical is much more fun then how it was before.
