Sunset Invasion not firing (Collie v1.10.3 (aa89))

[topostheorist]

I've tried this achievement twice. No luck. I've formed the Bolivarian alliance and only South american countries are in my faction (I have no puppets).

The first time, I invaded Portugal and took all their land in a peace deal. The achievement did not fire. It says that I did not follow the rules (though the only countries in my faction are in South America).

The second time, I invaded Ireland and occupied all of Connaught. It still hasn't fired.

I've seen some videos where people got this achievement without forming an alliance. Is there a bug with the Bolivarian alliance. Has anyone succeeded using the Bolivarian alliance.

Not sure about the Bolivarian Alliance, but I was able to get this achievement with the Hispanic Alliance sub-tree. I think that HOI4 has a generous definition of "South America" as you can see below that I have many Caribbean nations in my faction, which I needed to get the docking rights necessary for my 1940 Subs to be able to naval invade Iceland.

I know this doesn't directly answer your question, but at least it's an example of a approach that will grab the achievement for you.

Just for reference, here's the code for this achievement:

Spoiler: Achievement Code

        }
    }
}
