Steam Achievements

They won't, because if they did, people might cheat to get the achievements, with other mods.

Terrifying, I know.

Inb4 whining about how CK2Plus is a nasty bad thing that must not be mentioned in the main forums.

Nonetheless, no, this is not going to happen. CK2Plus is not something official. It is done by volunteers, some of whom aren't even particularly skilled in CK2 modding (even I've added a few things to it). Sometimes releases come out with critical bugs that have to be fixed with a hotfix. Sometimes the game gets rebalanced in such a way that Paradox wouldn't even dream of. Sometimes achievements become completely moot in CK2Plus as certain functions are added, removed or changed beyond recognition. You'd have to create a new set of achievements for CK2Plus (a waste of time) and force Schwar, Zeress and the rest of the team to cooperate with Paradox in modding CK2Plus (which none of us want... *shiver*).

I do have a question, though. What's the hype with achievements? Why bother with them? Why are they important enough for you to warrant creating this thread? They're a fun little distraction if you play vanilla ironman, but I don't see why they're a big deal.

Achievements ftw. Play normal CK2 to unlock them, it is not a big deal dude.

I actually enjoy play on ironman as it stops me from save scumming. The only change I made was rebinding the merge shortcut to something not used by the game. Hoping at some point Paradox will fix this in a minor patch.

I feel your pain: managing vanilla factions while doing the Roman Empire achievement is hellish. I think I'm going to have to abandon it - I have the achievement but its only the 1200s. Another hundred years of permanent revolution will make me self-Julius.
