Since patch 1.8 changed a lot of provinces, there has been some problems. Many provinces had disapeared, many other had changed Id. Well, it seems that now to achieve "the queen of mercury" You don't have to own both Bombay and North Kochistan (which would be hard, since there is no longer any province named "Bombay"). Instead You need just NK. The province Id previously assigned to Bombay is now Zanzibar, and this one is owned by Kilwa from the begining. Have fun :)

Uh, I'm pretty sure it was always NK (which is where Bombay IS) and Zanzibar...

Ok, facepalm. Why is zanzibar a part of this achievement? It's quite hard to loose it and yet manage to get into india. Sorry, I had a brain-blackout I guess...

It's a reference to Queen singer Freddie Mercury he was born in Zanzibar.

Edit : I haven't tried this since AOW but if you're just interested in the achievement it's possible to just rush Bombay as Kilwa after you take most of the East African coast. Hard to hold but you'll get the achievement.
