EU4 - Development Diary - 21st of August 2018

Good day all and welcome to this week's EUIV Dev Diary. Dharma is a hair over 2 weeks away and we are as excited if not more so than you for its release. Today We'll be looking at the twenty Achievements that will be part of the update.

First though, I have a couple more render shots to add of units from the accompanying Content Pack. These are also being update in the archive for all our unit packs.

The fancy unit models shown here, as well as the elephants, advisor portraits and music shown in last week's dev diary are all part of the Dharma Content Pack which will be released alongside Dharma at a recommended price point of $7.99.

Now for those achievements! While the focus in Dharma and the 1.26 Mughals update is obviously India, we still make a mixed bag of achievements for across the world. Let's get down to it!

Bringing the total achievements list up to a staggering 285, there are achievements across the world and for a wide variety of play styles. We focus on keeping them interesting without bringing in more quazi World Conquests or "conquer Germany as x" achievements. In this batch, I'm excited about the Kale achievement, as well as having a great excuse to get my Imperialist boots on as Denmark.

We have just a couple of Dev Diaries remaining before Dharma releases. Next week we will have a grand summary of new mechanics in Dharma, the cliff notes of changes if you will, and following that expect Patchnotes as usual.

Dharma is available for preorder on both The Paradox Store and On Steam and releases on Thursday September 6th alongside the free 1.26 Mughals Update. See you next week!
 
The Pheasant Strut is going to be hard. Prussia forms rarely enough that it is going to take quite a bit of luck. Maybe you could conquer the required provinces yourself and sell them to the most likely candidate?

Glad to hear that:rolleyes:
 
Is "The Pheasant Strut" start date locked? Witnessing whole nature AI Prussia itself is kind of achievement in my opinion.
You could vassalize the Teutons, hope that they turn protestant and form Prussia. Vassal feed them big and fat and then declare on them. Gamey, but less RNG perhaps.

Anyway, nice achievements. Some tough ones due to time limits (I'm a rather slow player ...)
 
The Pheasant Strut

Seems had to be, not because of the war, but because how rare a 100'000 Manpower Prussia is

True Heir of Timor

That one seems hard to me, since all of India in 90 Years seems really pressed for time

Awwe man was hoping to see something relating to Tamil and Nestorians but oh well.
It'd be fun to conquer India as a Christian (especial a Nestorian Chrisitan).
 
  • Sweet Home Qaraqorum: As the Mughals assimilate Mongolian culture

does that mean converting to it , or removing it from the map?
 
Will forming Rajputana break the mewar achievements?
