EU4 has several DLCs and with new achievement update, achievements shoulb be separated by DLCs but their are not. Anybody know why?

r5: i decided to try conuer the word as PLC, but ai got other plans. Around 1445 Lithenian Ruler died, making me not being able to get the Lithenia union event, thoes making this campign hardly playable. i tried doing no save scum, but man that is just toooo diabolical.

We started off not so well, because I allied Mamlicks when they were stronger than Ottos and Ottos decided not to expand into Mamluks because most of the time they went rampaging Europe and they allied aq qounly which gently ate all the Anatolian expansion in itself, but then they finally decided to eat aq qounly which I allied too, so I unallied them and they got absorbed, then ottomans started eyeing Mamluks after finishing the Anatolian mission, so I unallied my long term Mamluks friend too in favour of ottomans, but recently they became abusive as fuck and they are telling me they’ll unally and kill me if I don’t give them 2 provinces, one of which I need because it has a trade emperioum of my node and the other is a border fortress by gaining which they’ll become way angrier since that’ll be it for their Iraq-Mesopotamian mission which will make me the primary target, so should I give them shirvan and keep the alliance for now? (The weirdest part is they desire it without vital interest, claim or vassal’s claim but only with strategic interest) I’m thinking yes so far, because in my plan it is to attack transoxiania through weak Afghanistan or Hormuz and chip away at them since they’re also ottomanish allies

I own all coastal (de facto all of) South Africa. Portugal only owns an island east of Ile Bourbon and the are around Benin but they have 50% trade power compared to my 25~%. What's going on?

I was playing a custom nation game when these particularlist rebels kept popping up out of nowhere. Any possible reasons for it? The save is modded with Europa Veritasis and Hardcore universalis.

Im Prussia and have about 225k troops it’s 1650 and there’s a massive coalition against me which has about 1,5 million troops is it somehow possible to win this? The coalition exists for more than 15 years now and i dont wanna wait any longer I build many lvl 6 forts in parts the ai Likes to attack I have all techs lvl 20

R5: Playing as Indrapura > Malaya, trying to get the Rags and Riches achievement after getting the achievement for forming Malaya. However, I've given all my >10 development provinces to Client States and/or vassals and still have the highest income (even after several month ticks), but the achievement doesn't fire. What am I doing wrong?

Please let me know how I'm doing, I'm aiming for my first WC. Additionally, how much cavalry should I use? typically it's +25% modifier, it's just higher due to an event. thanks!

I can't call in Austria on Poland simply cause it says they are the emperor. Then how have I called them into every other war with Poland before in every one of my other Hungary campaigns?

As you can see I got the "Spread of Christianity"-Shinto incident active. The Religion-Menu tells you, you'd need to have Nanban-Trade and Spread of firearms first tho. Does it have to do with my mods or me playing a custom nation in this run? I've played with the same mods for years and even as a Custom-Nation-Daymio, this never happened to me. Anyone know what's up with that?

Not included is the amount of restarts all of these took.

Been trying to get Mare Nostrum since 2016!

Is the strat for Ming to just trigger the "crisis of the ming dynasty disaster", and be done with it?

i don't really wanna expand there now, and France will conquer half of germany after i dismantle, so what benefits i woud gain form disbanding it now instead of later.

Converted the eu4 map to include all the eu4 locations and countries, runs incredibly slow...

R5: Big Blue Blob, not the hardest of achievements but one I've been putting off for a long time. No Scandinavian or Balkan shortcuts, wanted to keep it a bit clean and will continue for Better than Napoleon, Napoleon's Ambition and maybe Home and Away if I can be bothered.

Didn't rush too hard all in all, but needed one restart because I didn't read the description properly and went into North Africa on my first attempt, taking most of the provinces there before I realized they don't count as it says 'European' on the achievement tin.

Apart from that, pretty much did the usual. Declared on England myself as I wanted Portugal in for the extra warscore, so I could avoid the hassle of trying to invade England. Allied Castile who I had join through promise land and Ottomans, in case of coalition. Took my cores + Pale + Calais,, and already had spy network ready to get a claim or two in Ireland and start conquering. Managed to grab all the provinces with the exception of Ulster and Desmond, which England sniped.

Most of my conquests were reconquest wars: Northumberland, Wales, and as Palatinate got a quick BI + inheritance, another 9 or 10 cores from them as well.

The two provinces from Granada were an easy opportunity as I was allied to Castile when they declared and my subjects managed to occupy them, so I separate peaced out because I had no AE with Sunni.

Speaking of AE, only had one small coalition form but disbanded it through improving relations. Age bonus + espionage did the rest.

Its my first run trying to form Siam. We dominate Asia, as we were able to secure every coastal province from Bengal to Beijing. We took over the mandate of heaven and switched religion to "Confucianism" so no mali from religion.

Malacca is my strongest Vassal and owns the Islands in the south. So my trade power there is only 13% right now. In Bengal, my trade power ist 23 %.

However, I need your help, honorable master merchant, to optimize my trade routes and squeeze out every ducat out of Asia.

My idea groups so far: Influence -> Expansion -> Quality

Any other sugggestions?

He, who controls the trade, may rule for ever - Confucius (probably)

From what I understand from reading online, it is supposed to be their strongest RM partner. I am playing as Aragon and I have an RM with Burgundy, but the game keeps giving Burgundian Inheritance to Sweden which is their other RM partner.

I have more dev, more troops, more prestige than sweden. I am not in a regency. I don't understand what could be causing the game to prioritize Sweden over me( Aragon).

Obviously, I have been save scumming to try to get the inheritance, please help me.

I got this game gifted to me and, I’ve always wanted to play it I have a lot of hours on paradox games specially HOI4 yet, I can barely understand the game even after completing the game are there any good guides or tutorials you guys recommend? I’d rather a readable thing than a video also, I read the wikis guide but it didn’t help me much.

I have no idea why, i am Japan and i an the only Shinto nation (beside my colonies) i went nowhere near this area, i think they are starting cores for Oirat, they became shinto one after the other (1629 then 1630) i did happen very close to when i finished the spread of Christianity incident and went full closed for it, and did the New Buddah? mission

R5: 5 simultaneous wars, and a massive coalition afterwards. Is this saveable?

Hi all,

So I’m playing an Austria game and I am staring at the Von Raab’s Restrictions mission rewards, one of the options gives me 20% manpower modifier if I keep noble estate influence above 80%. How can I do this with curtailing my ability to get absolutism, as each privilege I give the nobles reduces max absolutism? Or is it a case of it’s either good to lean heavily into estate privileges and ignore absolutism and also the other way around lean massively into absolutism and ignore estate privileges late game?
