No "Start as <certain character>" achievements? I am happy, but also somewhat sad.

Seems like you could do one, epic achievement run:

King of the Isles -> Canute the Greater -> Faster than the Fox -> Miklagardariki -> Far From Home

Might also be able to pick up Volva and Saga in Stone along the way, maybe even A Dangerous Business.
That's 8 out of 10 achievements in one run.

I guess you could technically get all 10 if you're willing to flip flow religions.

Also its possible Varangian Adventurer Wars is just referring to the Adventure mechanic we have already seen, will have to wait and see if it is something different or not.

I like that they have a different, distint art direction. Would allow to easily recognise the corresponding expansion in the future (even if it's a bit strange, as the base game achievements corresponded directly to the game overall style).

Start with a custom female ruler with the Witch trait and you can easily get Volva with the first character and get the rest as you progress. Depending how Varangian Adventurer Wars work could also get "A Dangerous Business" in there as well and if really ambitious once all the others are out of the way could conquer Russia and convert to Islam. And I am sure there are plenty of Vanilla achievements you could throw in there. So yeah you could do a really crazy achievement run and I would love to see someone do it.

King of all the Isles, ...whilst keeping your realm size below a certain threshold.

And what's threshold is that, seriously lol
Makes sense. They give you a list of provinces you have to own, but this isn't a WC achievement, so there's a top limit to the amount of provinces you can own.

If they want to make it difficult, they'll set the cap to the amount required to trigger the achievement.. IE: you can't own any mainland provinces, and you must own all island provinces.
 
Nothing hinting at secret unannounced features, I can't really be disappointed but it would have been a cool surprise

I don't think anyone disagree that it makes sense ; still it would be nice to know the threshold when going for that achievement.

Yea, I don't disagree about the limit size of your realm, I just want to know the exact size of it lol

Now I really want to know how much of the new content is specific for Asatru and how much is specific for Norse culture. Some of these achievements would be pretty fun to do as Norse/Christian or Norse/Muslim, but I don't want to be locked out of half the content because I am not playing Norse/Asatru specifically.

Read my mind. I'm personally going for that exact thing. Finished an entire game from the 800's startdate 'til the enddate last week, only took me four and half months of intermittent play, lol,

But I love that they have set up the achivments so if you use the adventuring mechanic to abbandon your old lands you can set up shop somewhere new. I'm planning to do north sea empire first though, and then head for Sicily and THEN take all the islands before hopping over to the indian ocean to finally end up as a russian muslim, leaving my old empires behind at each stage and starting over. I always did enjoy the start of any campaign the most, but I also like the feeling of having a huge legacy behind me that you get in the late game, so I'm going for an adventure-themed playthrough.

Oh, right I forgot that you can do achievements as a custom ruler in CK2. Unfortunately that still leaves one achievement: First of the Crusader Kings. Which requires you to be catholic at a specific point of time relatively early in the game. Definitely doable in theory, but pretty hard to execute in practice (especially without save summing)...

That is true, but I figure that one is easy enough that adding it is an unneccesary headache. Simply start as a swedish/norweigan/danish catholic character in the 1066 startdate, and join the first crusade, so I won't accomodate it in my first playthrough from pure completionism due to the complications it would involve. I'm swedish so I figure I'm likely to go for a swedish playthrough at some point in the games lifecycle anyway and I'll just check that one off the list then.
