Hello! I'm Bellyfish and I am a long time lurker on these forums. I'm one of those players that does it for the achievements. The feeling I get when that small steam popup appears truly warms my heart.
But here's the thing - I've got all the achievements now. What can I do? What patiently for the next big patch? Go outside? No. Of course the only sane thing to do is to make up my own achievements. So without further ado I give you my achievement...
Alphabet Pasta
As a custom nation with no more than 200 points with Italian culture and a capital in the Italian region, for each letter of the alphabet own at least one province starting with that letter.
Slight mouthful but hopefully its obvious that I need to acquire a province for every letter of the alphabet. I'll be using the English alphabet and the province names as they appear on the map. Also I will not rename any provinces. Will be using patch 1.25.1 with all DLC.
The Custom Nation
I've managed to use 200 points exactly which is nice. Have a 4 6 4 young ruler with no heir or consort. I've chosen 14 development Ancona as my only province which puts me in the Venice trade node but more importantly gives me the letter A!
Traditions
Technology Cost: -5% - saves a bit of monarch points, helps slightly to gain innovation
Diplomatic Relations: +1 - more alliances is always good
Ideas
Galley Combat Ability: +20% - the mediterrian sea will be mine!
Development Cost: -10% - cheaper development is always nice
Privateer Efficiency: +15% - with Genoa trade node close by this will hopefully be quite effective
Mercenary Discipline: +10% - it's like +10% discipline, but worse!
Goods Produced Modifier: +20% - more goods, more money
Movement Speed: +15% - want the fastest army in the land
Land Fire Damage: +10% - nice little modifier to finish with
Ambition
Yearly Navy Tradition Decay: -1.0% - lets keep that tradition number high
So as you can see nothing to overpowered but also nothing too worthless. Going to avoid colonization so will need take all the provinces I need by force. So can it be done? Stayed tuned and see! (I mean obviously yes it can be done, just trying to raise the tension)
