Randomness?

[unmerged(368289)]

One of my biggest complaints about this game is that everything is scripted. War starts at 1939, all invasions proceed as they happened in reality until 1941. Then Germany invades SU and it has a 25% of success. If they succeed, the war comes to an indefinite halt, with even nukes being unable to change everything. If they fail, everything proceeds historically again. Welp, mods can partially fix this, but I still find it somewhat depressing...

HOWEVER
...
On 1% of my gameplays, an ahistorical shitstorm of chaos and fun will ensue (no mods, no multiplayer). Common tropes:
-Soviet Union becomes a warmonger. Conquers everything it borders. Even countries that it has no event-trigger wars.
-Germany randomly declares war on a country before 1939 (usually Switzerland, Denmark or Austria). Results in ridiculous alliances due to independence guarantees.
-Greece declaring war on a random Balkan country. Results in ridiculous alliances due to independence guarantees.
-Britain randomly invades Denmark.
-Germany declares war ONLY on SU. Results in a corrupted campaign since Poland acts as a buffer state.
-Germany invades SU BEFORE France (around 1939). Surprisingly (witnessed it 4 times), Germany has a 100% success rate. Probably because of the terrible Soviet doctrines.
-Communist China alliance with Japan (????????????????????????)
...
Pretty sure I wasn't hallucinating when I witnessed these instances. No mods, no multiplayers. Is this AI behavior a rare bug? Or there is a randomness script or something hidden along the files? Would like to hear any other random things you have experienced.

Is "everyone can declare war" off?

Always, other than when Greece invaded Bulgaria (1937). But I didn't know that countries were able to declare war, unless provoked. And provocations do not exist, unless instigated by a human player (which I didn't) or by event (there is no Greco-Bulgarian war event). And what about all the other instances? :S

I think I have seen France/Britain declare war on the Soviet Union before Germany even gets going a few times.

I think your just unlucky, hell, this is probably the most random Hearts of Iron game out there.
Almost all my games turn into a delightful shitstorm of nonsense that makes every game a different experience. I've seen some pretty crazy stuff(Nationalist Spain joining the Axis, Comintern fighting along side the Axis against the Allies, Japan attacking the Allies long before the USA, and all that happened in the same game)
