EU3 Achievements Megathread

[brifbates]

Just (hopefully) a quickie for the Spain related achievements, do I need to unite Spain or can Castille do them just as well?

Pretty sure that if the achievement says "Spain" you have to form Spain before it counts. Some other ones require that you not form nations. There are also some that require specific start nations. If you are familiar with the code you can check them in the EU3/achievements/achievements.txt file.

edit: actually, upon further review, both the discover America and Spain is the Emperor achievements have Cas or Spa triggers so can be done as Castille

Thank you for that and shaming me into not thinking of doing that before you kindly checked for me

Right, 2 people have managed to get all of the achivements so that means they got It's all about Luck. I murdered Napoleon and didn't get it so what's the secret? I'm going for 100% here.

I suspect it must be a recruited perfect general, not a historical one.

 

[Maïdo]

That's possible.But I remember the hint about Napoleon & the Timurid general came directly from a DW dev.Maybe it's even in this thread.

Napoleon trick works fine. I actually did it just last evening: begin in early 1793 with Historical leaders and he kindly appears around mid-year.
I suppose a similar trick should work for the "get 7.0 morale" and a "get a 8/8/8 monarch" - unless they require to begin a Grand Campaign.

Hmm. I tried (many times) starting when he's already there, as well as starting the GC and defeating Timur - which definitely doesn't work. But I'll give this a try

Not sure about 8/8/8, but the 7 land/navy morale achievements do require a GC start.

8/8/8 does not require GC start. An easy way to get it is to play Burgundy in 1418 or so. Your heir is 8/8/8, so you just have to wait for your king to die.

 

[MetallicaFan100]

Or start as France in GC, easiear.

 

[mathl33t]

No, it doesn't work if you start with an 8/8/8 ruler.

I heard some time back if achievements not working (think it was jihad). How are things now? Do they all work?

Jihad works, but not as intended. Currently you must own Europe/Asia/Africa, all of it must be Sunni, but your own state religion cannot be Sunni.
See this thread for a description of one of the possible workarounds, or this post for another approach.

Also, "It's all about luck" remains mysterious. Most people report that it won't fire for them despite apparently meeting the requirements. I myself haven't been able to trigger it. But some few people say it does work. I suspect the required perfect general must be recruited during play, not given at the start of the game. Consider this recent comment:

That may be it , as i've defeated Napoleon thrice (including the full defeat of his army), but the achievement did not pop ...

Ooops, misunderstanding on my part. I thought you were referring to the classic "play France in 1793 with historical leaders and get the 6/6/6 general" trick.
It should work for 8/8/8 monarch, since there's no GC requirement.

 

[Jerrith]

that achievement is still bugged, i think

I got it in single player just fine. Just to be clear, have you gotten any achievements in a multiplayer game? Or has anyone here? Whenever I play a multiplayer game, in the menu the achievements tab says "achievements are disabled due to the save file belonging to another profile or the save game has been edited."

I was under the impression that achievements were purposefully disabled in multiplayer to make them harder, until I saw this thread and at least one person specifically said that achievements could be gotten in multiplayer. Can anyone else confirm or deny?

For the "An Early Reich" Germany formation do you need to be TO at the moment you form Germany? Could you aswell be Prussia (former TO) and then form Germany and it still counts?

TO->Pru->Ger counts for the achievement

Does anyone know if Norwegian Wood can be completed without a Grand Campaign start?

Does anyone know if Norwegian Wood can be completed without a Grand Campaign start?

#'Norwegian Wood' - Become trade leader and production leader of Naval Supplies as Norway.
NORWEGIAN_WOOD = 
{
	possible = {
		tag = NOR
	}

	happened = {
		trade_leader = {
			value = yes
			trade_goods = naval_supplies
		}
		production_leader = {
			value = yes
			trade_goods = naval_supplies
		}
	}
}

In short - yes, it doesn't require 1399 start.
