Patch 1.9 - New Achievements

[ParadogsGamer]

So you won't be able to guarantee major powers as a small nation now?

Damn that sucks it was a nice relations boost.

But it makes perfect sense.

 

[Krajzen]

This achievement with Switzerland is Jesus Christ absolutely amazing. I have to get it

 

[Malefidus]

Can't say how pleased I am with these.

Having played The Knights so many times, I'm glad there's now something to aim for, same with Theodoro. Plenty of fun to be had with these, an amazing addition!

But it makes perfect sense.

It makes sense only if you think that minors/OPMs should have an exceptionally hard time getting an alliance with someone to protect them.

You'd probably be correct in that regard (why should I ally you? You only have four guys), but still - it's probably an unnecessary hit towards an overwhelming majority of starts in the game who don't start with a decent starting size.

Switzerlake
Own 99 provinces as Switzerland, with no ports.

i want to do this with a single vassal owning the entire coastline around me

 

[Axe99]

Patch sounds great and new achievements very interesting, cheers .

 

[rowanquigley]

This.

Hongkong? I thought there is no province called Hongkong during EUIV timeline? I know there is Macau though. Or Paradox will create a new province called Hongkong in patch 1.9?

Will most likely be the ownership of the Canton province.

That Switzerland achievement is the best one on the list, for me. I've wanted to do a Swiss game for a while, but never really got round to it - this might change that!

 

[swm]

Will there be more performance fixes in 1.9? I'm still having issues.

Switzerlake

Challenge accepted. shouldn't be too hard.

I've got 99 provinces, but a port ain't one?

New achievements that basically entice to try nations I wouldn't have thought of trying. Well done

Krabater!
Form the nation of Croatia and station a unit of cavalry in Stockholm.

what???

 

[Pellaken]

No update on the Georgia situation?

 

[ahyangyi]

Formable Croatia!!!

 

[ErikHeinrichs]

To everyone asking about the "Krabater!" achievement:
Krabat (singular, -er is plural) is a commonly used word in the Swedish language. Today it means something like chap, or toddler. Historically though, it comes from an old Niederdeutsch word that meant "Croatian", as in a person from Croatia.

Hope that clears it up

If you are swedish then i must say that you do have some very weird friends if they use krabat commonly in Sweden. Born and raised in Sweden and i can say that i heard people use that words fewer times than i fingers in my other hand.

Gothic Invasion and The Sun Never Sets on the Indian Empire sound very intriguing.

It's not common in the same sense as "Hello!", but it's certainly not rare either. Maybe we live in different parts of the country, and perhaps there's an age difference or something else in play here.

Friends? What friends?

Just to clarify Croatian achievement

http://www.croatianhistory.net/etf/cravate.html

Croatian soldiers served in many European armies since the seventeenth century. So in the French army in the 17th century, during the reign of Louis XIII, there was a cavalry composed exclusively of the Croats, called Royal - Cravate, which existed in the period of 1664-1789. These soldiers gave the world something that is today unavoidable in fashion: the tie, called la cravate by the French and by the Germans die Krawatte - the expression was coined from the Croatian name, and mentioned for the first time in 1651.

It is interesting that in the Swedish capital Stockholm there is a district called Krabaten. It is a result of participation of Croats in the Thirty Year's War (17th century). In the Stockholm military museum there are several Croatian flags from that war. On the southern bank of lake Vänren in Sweden there is a beautiful palace of Läckö where you can see traditional Croatian, Dalmatian and Slavonian coats of arms (Austrian room, No 165), painted around 1680. By the way, it is interesting that Ban (viceroy) Ivan VI Frankapan lived for about seven years at the Royal Court in Sweden in the first half of the 15th century.
