So I was playing a game as Italy at the start of the year and was disappointed about having Austria-Hungary as an AI instead of Japan. Japan is just a much more interesting enemy than AH, bless their little Adriatic hearts. Fast-forward to today when I tested a theory and managed to replace AH with Japan I doubt this is ground-breaking as it was pretty simple to do and someone has probably done it before but I thought I'd share it anyway

did you change it for that particular game or in general when you start a new game?

Do share the method with the class I started two new save games, one with Italy and another with a country with Japan as an AI. I used Russia for the second save game. I then went into Russian save game files, Game2 in my case, and open RTWGame2. This folder contains all the information on the nations present in that save game, yours included. The nations are listed under the title [Nation#]. I believe Japan is listed as [Nation7] in the Russian save game. So I copied all the Japan's data and went over to the Game1 file that contained my Italy game and went into RTWGame1. I then pasted Japan's data over Austria-Hungary's data. AH is listed as [Nation3] in Italy's save game so in Japan's data I made sure to change [Nation7] to [Nation3]. There is also several other places in Japan's data where Nation7 is used so make sure to find all of those places and change to Nation3. From memory there is 3-4. And you're all set. I also notice that every playable nation is present in every RTWGame# file, so like Spain, CSA, China, etc, but they aren't part of the ingame AI. I assume you can just change their nation number to 1-6 to replace an AI nation. This is a whole lot simpler but I haven't tested it

I've just done the same with swapping Italy out for a somewhat buffed Spain in a RN game. (Wanted a more "Global" opponent) I already had a quasi-historical Spanish navy done so have them an extra 25% (and an extra trio of French style Pre-Dreadnoughts to help Pelayo) and shuffled a few territories. I was finding the Mediterranean a bit of a non event area as rarely see Italy getting heavily involved outside of it? It's a shame we can't add nation spots, it's live to fill the world with all these extra fleets that folk have modded! I did think about trying to include Austria more in my British play throughs but I'd have to lose Japan?

In the DLC, when playing as Italy, you will find your nation facing 8 potential opponents, including both Austria-Hungary and Japan, and with Spain thrown into the mix as well.
