DH is a good game, but it's not perfect

out of all the games I've played, Japan never joins the Axis, not once, I actually haven't played as Japan yet, but when I play as Italy, or Germany, or China.. Japan never joines the Axis, because of that when i play as China i never join the Allies, I get denied everytime... this is weird because Japan was an important part of Axis, now that it never joins the Axis, I still see Japan declearing war on US, but that's after I beat Japan as China in 1941:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

japan cant join the axis, because it would go on war against soviet union then. only in hoi3 you can have limited war, so there its possible(better: desired) to join axis with japan

In my Japan game I joined the axis. But I am now in 1946. Germany has taken all of western Russia, all the way to the Urals and has gotten peace. So they made 3 huge puppets of that Russian territory and invaded Iran and then British India. I took all of china and made it a puppet before I took ALL the Islands in the pacific. So yea now we share the world together in a super cool alliance against a feeble UK and a distant US. Fun times.

You could make an event that gets Japan in axis, but next day they sign own seperate peace with Ruskies.

I whipped something together. It's two events, to give both JAP and SOV a choice in the matter, and two more in case there's a separate war:
Code:
event = {
	id = 9123001
	country = JAP
	# persistent = yes
	date = { hour = 0 day = 0 month = 0 year = 1940 }
	offset = 10
	deathdate = { hour = 0 day = 0 month = 0 year = 1943 }
	trigger = {
		not = { flag = sepjapsovwar }
		# not = { event = 9123001 }
		war = { country = SOV country = GER }
		alliance = { country = GER country = JAP }
		war = { country = SOV country = JAP }
		OR = { 
			war = { country = JAP country = USA }
			war = { country = JAP country = ENG }
			}
		not = { lost_VP = { country = SOV value = 25 } }	
		}
	name = "An awkward position"
	desc = "Our new alliance with Germany was directed at the United States and the Western Allies, and it puts us in an awkward position with regards the Soviet Union. We might not want to pursue a real war with them just now, in light of the disastrous border events of 1939."
	style = 2
  	picture = "news_paper"
	action = {
		name = "Pursue a separate war"
		ai_chance = 90
		command = { type = trigger which = 9123002 }
	}
	action = {
		}
		name = "We can crush any number of foes!"
		ai_chance = 10
		command = {}
	}
}
event = {
	id = 9123002
	country = SOV
	name = "German-Japanese Alliance"
	desc = "Japan, our pesky Eastern neighbour, is stirring more trouble: they've signed an alliance with Germany, technically putting them at war with us; however, they are inactive on our borders and have made it clear through discrete channels that, at least for now, they want peace with the Soviet Union, presumably so they can concentrate on the Western Allies, but in reality they just don't want to be erased from the map of the World."
	style = 2
  	picture = "news_paper"	
	action = {
		name = "Let us concentrate on Germany"
		ai_chance = 70
		command = { type = peace which = JAP value = 1 }
		#command = { type = peace which = MAN value = 1 }
		#command = { type = peace which = MEN value = 1 } # Will Japan's puppets be included in the peace?
	}
	action = {
		name = "The Japanese need a lesson"
		ai_chance = 30
		command = {}
	}
}
event = {
    id = 9123004
    country = JAP
    trigger = {
        not = { alliance = { country = GER country = JAP } }
        war = { country = SOV country = JAP }
        not = { flag = sepjapsovwar }
    }
    name = "Soviet-Japanese war!"
    desc = "Japan and the Soviet Union have been on a collision course since before there was a Soviet Union. It's time to teach them that the East is ours!"
    style = 2
      picture = "news_paper"
    action = {    
        ai_chance = 100
        name = "Tennoheika banzai!"
        command = { type = setflag which = sepjapsovwar }
    }
}
event = {
    id = 9123005
    country = JAP
    trigger = {
        not = { alliance = { country = GER country = JAP } }
        not = { war = { country = SOV country = JAP } }
        flag = sepjapsovwar
    }
    name = "Soviet-Japanese war!"
    desc = "Japan and the Soviet Union have been on a collision course since before there was a Soviet Union. It's time to teach them that the East is ours!"
    style = 2
      picture = "news_paper"
    action = {    
        ai_chance = 100
        name = "Tennoheika banzai!"
        command = { type = clrflag which = sepjapsovwar }
    }
}

As you can see, it's not perfect; WIP. It should only trigger once, but I've included the self-reference as a comment just in case.

You saying that japan was part of the axis is like saying that the soviets were part of the allies. There was never any form of cooperation between japan and germany, and in fact the only indirect event they had was when japanese troops occupied bases in vichy owned indochina (modern vietnam). If i remember correctly, you can ally to germany. even if you dont, you can double team the soviets and gain lots of good lands for yourself.

Do you know how I can get this event into my game?
