Joining factions not fixed yet?

[Stacho]

Once again I would like to thank you Paradox. Six years since its release and it's still not fixed.
Yugoslavia joins a united front.
Communist China to the Allies. etc. etc.
Historical AF.

Do you ever plan to fix it?

what map mod is this?

Asking for something to be fixed assumes it is broken. From the Developer's PoV it isn't. It is an IF/THEN Problem

IF Country A is attacked by Country B that is in a Faction
AND Country A is NOT already in a Faction
AND Country B is already at war with another Faction
THEN Country A will join the Faction that Country B is at war with.

From their perspective it is working exactly like intended.

And from your screenshot, things aren't exactly going historically from your (CHI) side, so why should the AI have to be historical?

I hope this nonsense was meant only as a bad joke.

The only change I can support is that the AI should prioritise factions whose leaders are closer to them.

Yes the issue is that they often join the 'wrong' faction, I've seen Communists, Fascists and democracies all fight together in the same faction (fighting the same mixture of everything) just because Mexico didn't care about WW2 and wanted to annex everything in Central/South America...
