How did it even....?

[Rexos]

So, I've been playing this Byzantium game for a while now, I also posted 2-3 times for some questions and problems and I've been asked once....
-"are you aiming for the Basileus Achievement?"
-"Yes...of course" I responded....

how dit it even.....I mean I got it without doing ANYTHING, I started a war, moved some troops and then boom it came out....I dind't take a decision, I didn't form anything, I didn't take lands.....as you can see I didn't actually "restored it"......please tell it's normal, I was working pretty hard for this one, I hope it is not bugged,,,,

The achievement is much older than the nonsensical Rome tag.

Mouse over the achievement. It tells you what you need to do. Mare Nostrum requires over 200 provinces, while Basileus is more like 40.

what the.......then why the "restore the roman empire" super cool description if you only have to get a few provinces.....so if you actually restore the roman empire empire you don't get the achievement, cause the Mare nostrum one doesn't need all the provinces the "formable nation" decision does.......it's a bit confusing

Basileus, forming the Roman Empire and Mare Nostrum are three different things.

The wiki gives a good overview of all achievements and their requirements.

Yeah.....after checking the achievements wiki page I got it, its' just that I thought that "Restore the Roman Empire Empire" in the Basileus description meant that you had to "form it", maybe "Restore the Eastern Roman Empire" or something like that would have been a clearer description(for me at least).........anyway I'm glad it wasn't a bug thank you guys

there are a few achievements that are either Vague in their descriptions, or tell you to do the wrong thing...
Land of the Eastern Jade for instance, tells you to go after Central America as a buddhist country... but you're really supposed to go after mexico.
