The Three Mountains

[caknuck]

Conquer the World as Ryukyu.

I want this achievement. That is all.

 

[Lord Finnish]

Let's see who does it quickest. Must be accompanied by screenshot of the achievement.

 

[homy_dog34]

Ah, so they're bringing it back. Where's DDRJake when you need him?

 

[unmerged(318660)]

Another Achievement: "The Three Loans" - Take all 2618 loans as Ryukyu for 1 gold on normal speed before the first loan is due!

 

[DDRJake]

Working on it!

I was looking at this achievement but haven't been able to find ryukyu XP googling it all I could find was its japan related.

It's the old name for Okinawa. Look for the islands to the SW of Japan.

 

[Ataraxis]

so does that mean you ahve to start as okinawa or can anyone in japan form it by taking that territory?

Ryukyu starts independent and that's the only way. It's an independent state in its own right just like Sweden or Ming or Spain.

 

[unmerged(1823)]

Its hard, very hard..

But not impossible.

 

[boilermaker16]

Ryukyu was a Chinese vassal state until the Japanese kidnapped the royal family, historically. The Japanese never treated them well. Oh, and those women and children sent on suicide missions against the Americans in the Pacific theater, from Ryukyu too. Even today many youngsters there don't identify themselves as Japanese.

So yes, definitely worthwhile to re-write the history of Ryukyu.

Ryukyuu is the name of the island chain and the people who live there. Okinawa is just the biggest island there.

I was referring to the prefecture, not the island.

Dude, Sakura is Japanese. Don't you think he knows that?

 

[Sky_walker]

Its hard, very hard..

That's a suprise. Initially I thought that conquering world as such is impossible to start with.

(btw. Do vassals count for this achievement?)

Don't know for sure, but as each vassal takes one Diplomatic upkeep you wont be having many

 

[Lessing]

Will need to get a feel for the game, but as it looks now, it's impossible.

 

[Cèsar de Quart]

Oh ho ho ho, nothing is impossible. Give it time and you'll have three or four World Conquests by Ryukyu in the Post Your Empire thread.

 

[Rabid]

Any WC is going to have to abuse vassal-core-gain-on-annex. You can save huge amounts of admin points by doing this. I don't think just fighting through overextension is going to be feasible but maybe someone will prove me wrong.

 

[DarkImpaler]

and let's remember that you have to do it in Ironman mode, that's the real catch
