The Achievement Suggestion Compilation Thread

[Grand Historian]

Much like with the Idea Suggestion Compilation Thread, this thread will be one for achievements; both for archiving purposes and to hopefully help the devs and other user to find them easier. I'll do my best to copy any ones I see here, but if I've missed any or if you have any ideas of your own, please feel free to contribute (specific details would be appreciated)!

 

[Ashikaga Habsburg]

[Wixelt]

I don’t think they would make a version of That’s a Grand Army just for the Inca.

 

[Hydra57]

Okay, lemme change that.

 

[Sian]

The Triple Crown
As Japan, At one point be the Emperor of China and the Emperor of the HRE (Not at the same time, since that is unfortunately impossible).

It's not impossible ... EoC just asks you to be Pagan or Eastern when you gain it, it doesn't demand that you stay as those religions, so there's no reason why you wouldn't be able to get EoC, convert to Christianity and then become HRE

Africa is for Africans
Keep any Non-African Nations (who's capitol is outside of the African Continent) from owning or colonizing any land in Africa (islands off coast subjective).

basicly a tag-agnostic African Power, where you're asked to do exactly that as Kongo

 

[Hydra57]

Oh, okay.
Fixed.

[Bearjuden]

Fight the Power! - as a historically non-lucky nation, have no lucky nation tags in game.

Alternatively, as a nation that does not start as a great power, have all starting great powers lose their great power status (certain tag switches included ie removing England because they formed GB would not count). I'm torn because I hate the lucky nations modifier, but the great power version is way blobbier because of Ming, and we really don't need more "basically WC with a particular country" achievements.

Edit: another (inverted) take on this could be I've got the Power! - as a nation which does not start as a great power/is not a historical lucky nation, have three starting great powers/historical lucky nations under you as subjects simultaneously (pick one of gp/luck criteria as above).

 

[Martynios]

The last of them: as Gelre, be the only independent nation with their capital in the Low Countries region.

 

[Awsum4sum]

Heirror - Have a 6/6/6 heir die before inheriting the throne.

[Stanleykubrick]

Came here for the Isle of Mann pun achievements. Other people beat me to it, however...

My suggestion is for an insane achievement (we need more of these!):

Manndate of heaven:

Playing as Isle of Mann, hold the Mandate of Heaven and own all the provinces in the China region.

Not only you need to beat the Ming and take the Mandate , most importantly you would have to somehow switch your religion to be applicable for the Mandate.
