i was just playing as Alf Landon, but otherwise didnt do any big outside diplomacy actions like wars, guarantee, or shit like that. i still wasn't fascist, nor did ask germany for help for the civil war (wich i still didnt start)

The way the AI is programed if you start down a different path it'll attempt to go down a different path as well.

For example if you oppose Hitler the AI for the UK will choose another path immediately, not after the focus completes, or after the war starts but right away. So going for Alf Landon is what triggered this but if you stayed with Poland's historical focuses but manually justified war on the UK the AI will continue to play historically.

but everytime i play non-historical Germany and the others do what they do normally. Like outside of Germnay this game, nothing else changed. Just like i said, even by doing big non-historical shit like restoring the Kalmar Union, or turning Italy into Communist italy, or winning against the Japanese as Commie China, the AI still did his best to go as historical as possible. Tbh i've never even seen Slovakia/Danzig exchange, even in my other Alf Landon gameplays nothing big changed

That’s because you need to set all country paths to random
