Achievement 'The Princess is in this Castle' not working?

[Heatth]

I believe its working as intended, judging from formas response

Judging from ForzaA's post, there is a bug in play and is not working as intended.

This is correct.

The description is how it should be working, but a bug means that "no_female_heir = no" returns FALSE if there is no heir (and hence, makes you ineligible for the achievement), and so only countries that start the game with a male heir qualify.

I did it in last patch with Jerusalem formed by the knights, but they start with no heir(doesn't have a heir). And Jerusalem didn't get a heir imideitly after forming the country, but maybe it's different for theocracies.

Yup. Just got it as France with a female heir 3/3/3 , not as good as her late 5/5/2 brother who the RNG cruelly took away with a fever. She's still way better than the bastard son of the maid who was 1/2/4.

You need a castle (any higher fort level won't work) in your capital while having a female heir.

If you're talking about the 1.11 series of patches, the achievement was changed between that and 1.12.

Yes, it's 1.11, but i thought they only changed the condition with the building, not that it must be a male heir from the start

I've experienced the exact same thing as England. Definitively not working atm.

I got the achievement just last play session, so it is working for some at least

It's supposed to be for any nation that starts without a female heir. However there is a bug that only allows nations that start with male heirs get the achievement. Nations like England and Milan, however, start without heirs which wrongly gets flagged as having a female heir.

EDIT: I assume the starting heir change is new to 1.12 since the building needed is an early game building instead of mid to late game.

How is this handled by countries that start as a junoir member of a PU with an heir, such as Flanders? Is their heir considered the same as their overlords?

Worked for me last week as Castile.

I hadn't read this before and now I'm a bit mad at you...
