Basque In The Glory

[SmokeyTheRobot]

A new achievement?: As Navarra do a world conquest while having 0 Subjects (This includes colonial nations).

Not possible, you'll have colonial nations since you have to conquer the natives in america

 

[CaesarVincens]

While an interesting achievement, having no subjects at all might be a bit stringent, even Three Mountains allows for subjects. And Colonial Nations at the least are inevitable unless you don't core American provinces.

"Escape to America" is one of the standard patterns of play for Navarra.

It's probably incompatible with one-tag, though.

 

[Oddb@ll]

Ugh, why does it have to be a wc? I'm not much for such tedious gameplay.

 

[bunse]

a better one would be, take Iberia and France without moving your capital to the new world.

 

[marcavis]

A smaller, but still fitting challenge, would be for Navarra to conquer the Indo-European invaders (this is in terms of language, not necessarily ethnicity)
As a variation on that theme, making Iberia 100% culturally Basque could do it, too.

Well what else would you basque in?

You can directly own all of the americas but there is still australia that would inevitably form a CN

There are no cities in Australia in 1444, so any owned provinces there will be (ex-)colonies, which generate zero overextension, so technically you could leave those provinces uncored.

Or you could just annex the colonizers before they get there.

 

[Subbak]

I'm personally not in favor of achievements that force you to keep playing after you've basically won. So "conquer all of the French and Iberian regions" would be more appropriate. Asking that the capital was never moved (or at least not outside Europe) is reasonable to make it different from Albania or Iberia and Re-Reconquista...

 

[PhoenixDown]

Haha if this is true I guess paradox did read my achievement idea: More ridiculous WC achievements to torment DDRJake. I gave up on 100% EU4 long ago so I don't mind

EDIT:

Or you could just annex the colonizers before they get there.

You still would need to annex natives and if you don't core it OE will (probably) kill you. Strange achievement.

 

[Pellucid]

I'd make it "own and core the entire French region."

 

[Harlehus]

I like the name

 

[Will Steel]

Perhaps all the territories of Western Roman Empire? World Conquest might be too much.

Migrating to Americas? Oh, I never thought of this strategy when playing Navarra. I always tried to get pieces of Aragon and Brittany until I die against Castille-France alliance.

 

[Promanco]

Form France as Navarre with Basque as your primary culture, and culture convert the whole French Region to Basque, now that would be cool

 

[Sunspawn]

An achievement for forming France as Navarra actually sounds proper, considering it sorta happened historically(though by then Navarra was more Gascon than basque).

If you have silly high tolerance of the true faith and many -unrest bonuses, you can conquer entire colonized america for 0 overextension, raise autonomy, and convert all provinces without much rebels.

you can later on annex all native provinces, convert them, and then accept rebel demands. Late game, right before you want to make a one tag, just full annex those nations.

A true one tag (only ONE nation existing) combined with a 100% religious unity is possible.

Going for it now in the Yeren AAr

I think an achievement to get a true one tag is bad idea though. Many players would go mad of boredom trying to do that

 

[Polskers]

How can you directly own all of the Americas? I was under the impression that colonial nations just began forming when there were five cored provinces in the colonial region.

On topic: I'd have liked an achievement for just conquering Iberia and making it 100% Basque, or the traditional Basque homelands (Iberia and France). A WC with Navarra/Basque nation and no subjects/colonial nations seems a bit overkill and frankly pretty difficult.
