In WW1, DH full vanilla, there is a very small chance that Serbia agrees to all Austrian demands, making them a puppet, this sets up an event chain starting the war later. The whole 1914 scenario is very well evented and written overall. Study it if you want to learn even.

So - all you do is make Serbia accept every time to trigger chain to an alternative ww1, Russia plans an invasion with their massively mobilized troops, but will they be detected? If you research decryption, probably, if not, then probably not.

Overall a good play especially as Austria Hungary not having to juggle two fronts at the start of the war,

It's because DH ww1 scenario is based on older ww1 mod for hoi. So it's not entirely "vanilla" stuff.
 
On the old Hoi2 Arma the Poland accepted to secede Danzig, but i nonetheless declared war afterward, i don't think there is an alternative in this scenario.
No this is specifically an event chain for an altenrative start for ww1.

You can simply go into the serbian event files and make Serbia accept all Austro-Hungarian demands in order to trigger it.
 
Really, which one? Because the way the events are written tells me it's a DH and not a HoI2 thing. But of course they could have rewritten the events from scratch
I think they got inspired by very old, original 1914 mod for Hoi2.

I never played that original version of the mod, but I played 2020 "remastered" DH version of that mod called "Bandaid 1914 Mod" by GoldLeader.

It's pretty good. LOT'S OF events and alternate paths (more than in DH Full WW1 scenario) and fully playable 1897 stardate.

Unfortunately, map is still from Hoi2, so it looks quite bad compared to DH map and the mod still uses old (and in my opinion inferior) Hoi 2 manpower/mobilization system. But as I said; it's still very fun to play! 1897 start gives you lot's of time to prepare for WW1 as a minor/secondary power.

You can find this mod here on my Google Drive (because original link from the mod author is dead for years).

Here is the link to the Bandaid 1914 modpage:
