MacArthur, revenge of the Spaghetti monster, this happens because they swapped to the Character system in LaR, and this code got updated for it, but forgot to check if MacArthur is actually still with the USA.
More accurately, I hope they fix it, but leave some way for it to still happen. Like maybe he gets sent to China, and then when the American Civil War fires, he asks to be sent back. If you reject it, an event fires where he actually coups China, giving him a modifier called something like "American Aurelian" instead, and putting you at war with Fascist America
Honestly I'd love this as a proper alt history path. Considering the absolute mess that was China during the warlords era this wouldn't actually have been impossible. Say Cheng gets topped by the bandits and MacArthur becomes the loudest voice in the power struggle. Hell he might actually follow Sun Yat-sen's dream and finish the people's education instead of turning the KMT into a one party state.
This happns every time you get a decision to send guys over You can end up with Nazis leading India and this sort of stuff I know it's not intended, but it's also not a bug, so I hope this isn't removed
Agreeing to the alliance in the event is the historical option. The warlords will join before the war with Japan through a decision. Edit: with historical box checked: China agrees to go China refuses to ally PRC Chiang is arrested PRC does not execute Chiang Chiang agrees to ally PRC
@@Aldrahill with historical box checked: China agrees to go China refuses to ally PRC Chiang is arrested PRC does not execute Chiang Chiang agrees to ally PRC
@@Aldrahillmight be some dumb thing where the warlords only have/can/will do the decision to join the alliance if China initially refuses then accepts the alliance with PRC
the historical option for the invitation from a warlord event is say no. then say yes. then all the warlords will ask to join. Then you go down the focus path. and it bypasses I believe. So its way better to do the united front through the event because that also gets you 15% surrender limit. Plus you can still go down the puppet them all path while they are in your faction
Reminds me of how mr fantastic can become the leader of the ncr in the fallout mod. Basically there’s a country that is only a puppet of the ncr in 99% of play throughs. There’s a path that let’s the leader of said country be elected as president of the ncr. When Caesar’s legion takes over said country and releases it though, it will put Mr fantastic in charge of it. When the NCR does the focus it only checks if the country exists, not if it’s under NCR control. So that’s how you end up with mr fantastic in charge of the NCR whilst a legion flag is in the back of his portrait
It still doesn't work for me EDIT: I was able to get Eisenhower to join by restarting the focus after July 1st 1937, but not MacArthur. If I start the focus in August I just get Stilwell again EDIT 2: NVM you have to be at war with Japan to get him!
you can actually swing china to democratic easily: they get the interparty coordination council and one of the "yuan" focuses give you ticking democrat support, and theres also an advisor that gives 0.10 democrat support per day. all in all you can get 0.14 democrat support per day, which is enough to swing democrat by 1944
MacArthur: “Look at me, I am the Generalissimo now” I hope paradox finds a way to make this an actual feature because it’s too funny, also China does actually have a path that gives them Democratic support
@@CoreLumpenousYeah, maybe do it like the Communist US/Soviet Union unification, where the Soviets have to be in a faction with the US and also a certain percentage toward capitulation.

For some reason I've got Eisenhower. That is even more strange. I thought that maybe it was related to date (it was before July 1937), yet it doesn't seem to be, as my next attempt in the same save file got me Eisenhower again
By default, all countries go down their historical paths. On non-historical, it's random between the four ideologies (unless you force it in the settings)
They do, but it is more likely for them to just do ahistorical democracy, just like Germany is most likely to get the Kaiser back in charge on non-historical.

Oh… oh my god

Utterly fantastic
I don't know if we should let MacArthur get that close to Korea actually
I hope that paradox that paradox wont fix this
Me too!

Oh man I’d play that
Kaiserredux ahh path, I remember doing German China in that mod
wait this means you can get mac authur as leader of any warlord state oh boy do I have plans for my next game
Wait how can you send MacArthur to communist china?
7:51 its easy as your focus tree has a way to boost democratic support, its the middle path left of the united front.
Yes, and you are intended by the devs to do that path, since there aren't any other political paths for china
This happns every time you get a decision to send guys over
You can end up with Nazis leading India and this sort of stuff
I know it's not intended, but it's also not a bug, so I hope this isn't removed
It’s a secret feature most Paradox Devs didn’t think will be discovered, so… expect more achievements being made
@orrorsaness5942 I don't think it was an intended feature, but achievements would be nice, although it's RNG dependant, so...
2:16 AI doesn't do the focus instead they use that event
Agreeing to the alliance in the event is the historical option. The warlords will join before the war with Japan through a decision.
Edit: with historical box checked:
China agrees to go
China refuses to ally PRC
Chiang is arrested
PRC does not execute Chiang
Chiang agrees to ally PRC
Huh, when I last did that, the buggers didn't join!
@@AldrahillI think you have to agree to the second one that Mao proposes, not the first one with the warlord
@@Aldrahill with historical box checked:
China agrees to go
China refuses to ally PRC
Chiang is arrested
PRC does not execute Chiang

Ahhh okay , no then yes! Ima write that down :D

I hope they make it an actual feature
Should make an event that also makes Halsey a leader or advisor after the events at Samar or either of the two typhoons he sailed his fleet into.

lol i saw this bug on reddit a while back nice u made a video on it
** PSA** MacArthur only replaces Stillwell after July 1937 (idk why)
This appears to be true! Make sure to time it right!
It still doesn't work for me
EDIT: I was able to get Eisenhower to join by restarting the focus after July 1st 1937, but not MacArthur. If I start the focus in August I just get Stilwell again
EDIT 2: NVM you have to be at war with Japan to get him!
That BlackIce China video better be historical calvary divisions only
No good plz :(
Macarthur, the "Clean up his own mess" kind of general. I'm sure alf Landon was probably his fault too!
Lore of You Can Make MacArthur King of China in HOI4? Momentum 100
Mc arthur was truly the guy who would do the funny.
If you accept the invitation from map to form the united front it guarantees all warlords to join as opposed to the set chance from the focus tree
you can actually swing china to democratic easily: they get the interparty coordination council and one of the "yuan" focuses give you ticking democrat support, and theres also an advisor that gives 0.10 democrat support per day. all in all you can get 0.14 democrat support per day, which is enough to swing democrat by 1944

Yeah, if a bear can rule Poland, then there is enough meme-room for this.
I wouldn't mind if they fixed in in a way that both US and China kept McArthur as their leader. Maybe some funny event to add onto it, but still

im looking forward to that BICE China video. I tried to do that a while back, but it didn't go so well
And I thought that Trotsky was my favourite exiled leader
Can you also check if you can do the same stuff in R56RP? I wanted to play that mod China for long
I’ve followed everything in video, but I still get stillwell no matter what? What changes it to MacArthur being sent is it like a focus or something?
That’s so weird!! I get it every time as China? So long as Alf landon is in charge and they went right side, they always send me MacArthur
For some reason I've got Eisenhower. That is even more strange. I thought that maybe it was related to date (it was before July 1937), yet it doesn't seem to be, as my next attempt in the same save file got me Eisenhower again
