Some questions about the "new" achievments

[Gesia]

Hey there!
I took a break from the game a while ago, played one game when the expansion game out and now, with a new PC, I decided to try again and went for the new achievements.

I created Egypt and played as it, hoping to get a few achievemtents, and while I got some, I appear to have misunderstood others.

I got "freeegypt" but didnt get "cut the strings"? Also I got "The empire strikes back" when I declared war on britain (wait... what?) but didn't get "Rule Britainia" when I conquered Britain. Could someone maybe elaborate what exactly needs to be done for these achievements? Because breaking free as (puppet) Egypt seems to me like I "broke free as a puppet" and taking GB as Egypt sounds to me like I took all of Britain..... (unless this means Britain and its empire, but thats almost impossible without WC as any ally would take something of the empire, so why then not just call it WC?)

Thx. Well now I see why I didn't get "rule Britania" (cause egypt is not tagged there - though this should somehow be shown in the achievement....) but I don't see why i got "Empire strikes back" as I wasn't Britain, I was Egypt. And I don't see why I didn't get "cut the string" as Egypt Starts as a puppet and i did fulfill "is not a subject".... :/ ... or am I misreading something here?

 

[Gesia]

Does any country start as "puppet"? I can only see "integrated puppets"....?

Philippines starts as an ordinary puppet of USA.

Thank you didn't need it as I now got the achievement as India, though that one starts as colony. I feel like the descriptions should be more precise....

I believe I read somewhere that you cannot get "cut the strings" as Egypt as it starts as part of the British empire and you have to release and switch tags to play it. I think that is the issue. You have to start the game as an actual playable nation to get it.
