Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The achievement should probably be obtainable with anyone as the royal head of state, or we may have to make Wilhelm II live a little longer. We'll review this.

This. The problem is one requirement for bringing him back is 40% support for non-aligned. That burns a bit of time even with decisions. Then you have to beeline with 35 and 70 day NFs. It's entirely possible to just not have enough time.

Actually, if you do democratic and communist raids while securing the state you'll be able to take it virtually immediately. But yes, normally it will take a while. We might add a year to the guaranteed lifespan of Wilhelm II (right now he can die starting from 1/1/1938), so that people can enjoy him a bit more :)

@Bratyn Any news on this? I really want this achievement... :(

I think it was unintentionally omitted in the changelog. The death events for both Wilhelm II and von Mackensen have been altered so they now have 1 extra year of guaranteed lifespan, and an additional year of randomized lifespan.

Concretely for Wilhelm II this means he is guaranteed to survive until 1939, and, on average, will die in 1943.
