Simple Question about Achievements and Subscription

[Megatherium]

I have been away from EU4 for a few years and no longer own the game or any DLCs. Due to work commitments, I can only devote time to the game at certain times of year (summer and December). For these reasons, I am thinking of getting a subscription for a couple of months over the summer, dropping it in September, and then renewing it in December. I don't want to pay hundreds of $ to buy all DLCs from scratch, but I also don't want to subscribe all year when I can only play for a few months.

My question is this: One of my favourite things about the game is doing achievements. Are all achievements available to subscribers as normal? Also, if I play for a few months in the summer and then cancel my subscription in the fall, would my achievements carry over from the summer when I resubscribe in December? Do they get saved in my Steam account, or is all record of my achievements wiped clean the moment I unsubscribe (regardless of whether or not I subscribe again later)?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this.

they haven't mentioned anything about it, but you would think that once it's recorded in steam it's there forever.

I have also subscribed and unsubcribed a couple of times because of university and all my achievements are still there. So yes they carry over and remain in your account.

You still need to own the base game to access the subscription service, and achievements are tied to the game and the game version they have been added on, whether you own a particular DLC or not. So you can earn and keep achievements regardless you have a subscription or not, that only gives you access to the DLCs.

Thanks for the info, everyone. In this case, the subscription sounds like a good option.
