So I was messing with making factions to balance things out a bit...
By default, this mod messes with the game balance, which is cool but tends to lead to messy short WW2s, usually one-sided as everyone joins the allies.

But I had the idea to try to balance things out a bit with factions, I ran a number of games creating one or two factions from unaligned nations to see if I could keep things from going all pear shaped. After a number of tests, I found that if you create a faction using the toolpack, then add iraq, turkey, Iran, yemen, oman and brazil to it, most of the the nations joining the war against the zombies will join it, instead of piling in to the axis, allies, comintern or co prosperity sphere.

At the same time, those nations that join or create factions later due to their focus trees still do that, so instead of germany going to war with Czechoslovakia and finding itself at war with a unified world and losing almost immediately, often by that point, many of the nations fighting the zombies will have switched back to their focus tree granted factions.

I know this mod is not intended for historical games but doing this does seem to make for very interesting games if you turn historical off, from my tests and depends on what focuses the AI picks it can lead to some interesting games instead of: allies beat zombies, allies beat axis, allies beat comintern over and over, which seems to be the most common result of the current scenario setup.

first off all: thanks for the effort you put into this. i saw your other comments as well.

the Idea behind the Mod is basically Zombies vs. the World. Yes, some other smaller Wars may happen as well but a full blown World War II like we actually had would not have happened if there was a common enemy like this one.

Also given the scenario, i do not plan to look at what happened after. That's waaaay too much for me alone. University is gonna start soon and generally that's not the direction I want this mod to go. even tho i like the idea. Testing new Things takes a lot of time. Especially when it comes to Factions and/or AI. Because I have to run multible Games waiting to see what the AI will do. And i'm gonna be honest: it's time consuming and boring as ♥♥♥♥.

For me, it's supposed to be Me vs. the Zombies (or Me vs. the World). A quick, simple Scenario. Going into different Factions is something that's interesting once the War with the Zombies is over, but that's basically where the game ends imo.

I tried to keep the Wars that happen outside of the scenario as rare as possible. Or at least to stop a Nation to Join the Zombie Faction. Wich is (i think) what i managed to do.

Different Factions also block things like Access to the Airfields for People from different Factions, wich is something i don't think a Nation really cares about, in the Event of a Zombie Apocalypse. War between the Factions is a huge possibility, wich is something i really try to avoid. Further Things have to be considered for wich (as stated) I don't have the Time or Motivation for.

I'm still thinking a lot about your (i think it was you?) Idea for the normal start and then Infections in random Nations. Balancing will definitely be a Problem but that's the Spirit i guess.
However, I would have to rewrite a LOT. Like most of it. Wich is something i may do some day, but the effort for this idea is not comparable to what I've done here. Then Factions and a own Ideology for the Zombies become necessary. But not for now

a good fix is to disable factions entirely with this mod that i have found is 100% compatible

@reachreset yeah, looking at your comments, the mod doesn't seem to be compatible. The Zombie Nations fight each other. Wich is pretty uhm... uncompatible. A non agression pact might help but there is absolutely no Reason to not have them in a Faction

oh they were in a faction before i put the mod in?
sry the problem was that italy got declared war on by everyone due to high tensions and how ethiopia immedietly joins one of the factions
if there was a way to make the zombie faction the only faction able to be made then i would be golden sry about that!

What about trying this mod. Basically allows the world to form factions. But during War (which should happen nearly instantaneously, so Zombies could possibly join each other before war,) Factions cannot have members join.
