Wow Great ! :O
Congratulations ! Are you the first man in th world to achieve this ? ^^
And please, write an AAR of this Ryukyu game ! Please
How many years have you played with infamy over the limit?
DDRJake recently did it by becoming a horde (link here). (I say that only to point out that this isn't the first time someone got this achievement.)
Ok I didn't know that. Anyway, I'm still not able to complete such achievement. Congratz (again) !Not even close to the "first man to do this".
I did it this summer, there was a whole thread about this.
I went over the infamy limit in the mid 1630s so about 175 years or so.
An AAR wouldn't be very interesting. I basically exploited the way the game handles random events to not have to deal with the infamy events. As each random bad event would pop up I would move it down to the bottom right corner. Once about 5 months would pass, I would save, resign, and reload to clear events. By the end I think it might have been easier to just deal with the events because the save reload three times a year was so freakin tedious. I kept my saves in case I needed to go back and ended up with 625 save files for this play through.
That's cheating, by my definition at least.
I considered it more exploiting than cheating but either way, not exactly kosher.
However, I challenge you to play for 175 years of game time saving and reloading three times a year and not pull your hair out.
To my surprise well-planned )) non-horde WC doesn't actually require that much patience, considerably less than horde WC. I've completed England WC (I was trying to confirm that it's possible to do Christian WC without gamey tactics) and it was actually fun for the most of the game. At the same time my GH "before 1500" WC attempt is on hold (it's way too tedious).Badass. I wouldn't have the patience to do a non-horde WC.
