I am a farily experienced player with like 1,5k hours played and I finally got bored with the pure conquest runs.

So now I need some aim for my next games and I decided that it's time to start making those achievements eveybody is talking about.

Can you guys recommend some interesting ones that I can try on very hard mainly in Europe?

Europe is my favourite region due to historical roleplay and to be honest I havent played much elsewhere.

Well, I'm not sure what achievements you may have already, but Castille, Poland and Austria have a ton of achievements each. I've played Castille and Austria several times getting all their achievements...as some were a bit counter anyway, while some were added later on. I did one Poland run where I got all 5 or 6 of their specific achievements, included several others including my first complete game (also an achievement. You can't go wrong with any of those.

Prussia into Germany is always fun. I like TO for that, but Bburg rocks too. Sweden is a blast..I think they have 3 or 4 as well.

Dutch Minor into Netherlands has a 2 or 3 and is quite fun. (Also, you can start with Burgundy)

France, France and more France.

Byz for the win..

Ottos, France, or Castille for Mare Nostrum achievement.

Switzerlake was a lot of fun and challenge.

Form Italy as an Italian Minor

Conquer Dublin as Bohemia

Vassalize France as Scotland

Take Britain as the Irish

Ironman, Historical nations, historical lucky nations, no custom nations for the vast majority, no mods outside cosmetic mods, at least normal difficulty.

Nope, checking ironman box sets most of the values you cant change for lower (in example you cant play on easy difficulty or have historical lucky nations off). Of course diffictuly can be set higher.

Try Aragon into Roman Empire. There are a number of achievements you'll get doing that and you can get Iberian wedding as Aragon. No CB Byzantium at the start and vassalize. I think it's a really fun start. When you form Spain prior to Roman Empire you can get even more achievements.

The reason I recommend Aragon for doing Mare Nostrum (forming Roman Empire) is because Aragons achievement, Consulate of the Sea I think, has you conquer a bunch of provinces around the Mediterranean and Black Sea, which you need also for Mare Nostrum. Plus it has a cool starting position.

The achivement browser in the game will tell you which achivments you can get in a run. Remember to check it when starting the game to make sure you actually can get the one you wanna get.
