warszawo walcz bugged?

[Stillard]

Hi, I'm trying to get the warszawo walcz achievement, and as far I have read I only need to get the resistance in one of the Polish States to 90%.

I have been playing with spies and I've got it up to 95% but the rebellion won't fire.

Am I missing something)

Thanks in advance!

The wiki says if the average resistance strength is 90% there's an uprising.
The resistance of Poland as a whole may not be high enough.

It's not a bug as such, but something of an odd logic to how the achievement is structured: you need 90% average resistance of Polish cores you occupy, unless you don't occupy any, in which case you need 90% average resistance in all occupied Polish cores. Let me explain...

The first time I actually tried to get this achievement, I did so as the UK (Allies spymaster) before the spies nerf. So I had an insane number of agents trying to stage the uprising, but never could get average resistance over 90% because Poland is a pretty big place and Germany has a bunch of ways to clamp down on resistance.

Then, in a later attempt to get the "Georgia on my Mind" achievement as the USA, I fired the ""Join the Unions" decision (while at peace) and annexed the entire Soviet Union. I subsequently released Belarus, Ukraine, and most of the other former SSRs as puppets (to reduce garrison requirements and frontage), and set the remaining non-Russian cores (Bialystok and Bucovina) to no garrison, hoping that they would revolt and go away. Which they did: Bucovina reverted to Romanian control after its inevitable revolt, and Bialystok went Polish, which earned* me "Warszawo, Walz!"

*For certain values of "earn." Still, if you don't mind a layer of cheese on your achievements...

To cheese this achievement: as soviet union: Declare war against poland as fast as possible and call tannu tuva in. In the peace conference give all polish land to tannu tuva. Kick tannu tuva from the faction and declare war against them.
Tannu tuva is unable to maintain the garrisons so its easily pushed to enough resistence. Just never move your divisions to attack.
Found that idea in the wiki. There are many good ideas how to do achievements by the way.

Done! Turns out (as you said) that I had to increase resistance in ALL polish states.

Thanks everybody!
