My rarest achievement is finishing one game

Me: Mom. Dad. I've conquered the whole world as Ryukyu. Mom: Does that mean you're gonna get a job?

Everybody knows that the most difficult achievement is to have a friend who plays EU4

I'm from Bologna and I never thought one day I will see a "Bolognese Texas" as an Achievement of a Grand strategy video game developed by some Swedish dudes. Our world is truly interesting and full of surprises.

Whenever I see your intro, my brain automatically goes, "ISP".

"impress my family" literally all i've done all quarantine is play eu4 and my family cant even remember what its called

That madurai one is easy, because *nobody conquers the Tamil kings*

For spaghetti western: releasing & playing as a colonial nation requires the Conquest of Paradise DLC. You can still do this achievement without dlc by moving your capital to the new world, but it’s substantially easier with the DLC.

5:34 the smoothest Texan accent out there

I imagine that “On the Rhodes Again” will stop being such a rare achievement now that Pravus has brought attention to it.

I am one of those 0,12% on the Rodhes one! I'm so proud lmao

3:30 Rebel 1: How do we get to Sindh when we have no boat. Rebel 2: Let us pray and forgive our sins few months later Rebel 1 and 2: Thank god, you have brought us here and we will spread good news.

I've only managed to get the Bavaria achievement from those on this list, I did it via giving Bremen coastal African provinces through multiple wars to give them colonial range rather than through land

2:09 That's not true. Yes Mysore starts with 2 provinces instead of one and a little more dev + an extra troop. Madurai though has both more cores but also better cores with lots of more dev and 3 trade centers. They also start with a ship with a total of 10 ships. Their capital is also a gem province so their eco isn't that much worse. Just some details but I had to point it out, good video! :D

10:07 German football fans will understand

I'm convinced that the players don't even try the stern des südens because it requires border gore and that's why it has nearly 0%

I think it would have been cool to see obscure older achievements as well in this video. The majority of these "rare" achievements are only rare because they're so new, and not because they're obscure.

"You'd think that it'd be close to the HRE. But it's not. It's in Somalia." Oh, the dark humor of Alzabo and the game devs...

You think you could do a video on, not too easy, not too hard, achievements? I'm good, but not good enough for these lol

Stiff Upper Lippe is fun campaign, after you've expanded a bit it is basically a Dutch run.

As someone with Stern des Sudens and Stiff Upper Lippe, some advice for both: Stern des Sudens - One of the Bavarian missions gives you a center of trade in your capital. I conquered Amsterdam and made that my capital to gain an extra center of trade in English Channel Node. From that point on I just printed money. - You don't need to snake feed Bremen. What I did was after consolidating English Channel, I charted trade companies around Africa, then DoW'd Morocco, Benin, Kongo, Kilwa and Marehan (in that order) and gave Bremen one province from them each. That was enough to get to Somalia to get the province. Stiff Upper Lippe - As Berg I conquered Friesland, Utrecht and Ostfriesland, released Lippe, and fed them the Dutch provinces before re-integrating them. After releasing and playing as Lippe it becomes a very simple Dutch game of trade and colonialism as you slowly conquer UK. EDIT: just wanted to mention you can theoretically get identity crisis by colonizing NA. It requires very precise diplo usage and some luck. I was 3 years off from completing it because of a regency and haven't tried again yet

What a huge coincidence. One of my discord buddies was looking at the rarest achievements yesterday. I'd love to do Inner Turmoil when I'm able.

That bordergore for Stern Des Sudens gave me a good laugh! Awesome work, as always, Alzabo :)

Wow, a sponsor, moving up. Great! Love the channel, keep up the good work!

You shouldn't include the newest achievements. Not many players obtained them since they heve been here for a very short time. Also, Ainu guide would be nice too.

Nice, number 1 features my home region. :3 Great vid, dude!

So you can impress your family I gave that up a long time ago. A true map artist needs no clan

Still do not have a WC archievement (like Ryukyu or One Faith), but I already have most of the archievements on this list. And most of them were really fun! I savescummed a couple of times for the Marie archievement, but it felt like a fair and interessting challenge. I hate long and drawn out world conquests, but I like short conquer area x by time y archievements.

I just did Stern Des Südens. Its actually a pretty fun one to do since you have a nice mission tree to work through while preparing to either go around Africa or through Egypt down to Werder in Somalia

I remember I once loved going after achievements in this game, but then I learned how crazy fun the game could be with custom nations and mods. Still have a desire to go back and do some of the more generic achievements thou.

That snake... I've never seen one so disgusting...

On the Rhodes again was really fun. Nice mission tree as well!

What give people feelings of power Money: not really Status: a bit Earning a rare eu4 achievement: Hell yeah!

You can just give Bremen a couple provinces in a peace deal instead of making a snake through Africa. Looks like you're used to the subject interaction transferring.

Your voice is amazing and goes perfect with your videos, love your content btw always top notch. That is all.

Awesome Video as Always. Just wanted to mention the Lippe is releasable until 1594, you can release them easily as any european power. I got the achievement playing as Bohemia and vassal feeding all of Great Britain to Lippe

I got Stiff Upper Lippe last week! Feels good mayne

I just got On the Rhodes Again yesterday, was only 4 months off from getting the achievement for founding Jerusalem as them. I feel so proud of myself to be part of this elite group.

I don't even know why i watch these videos its not like i own the game, but they are just really entertaining for some reason.

I liked you too 10/25 videos but if you run out of them, the Indonesia guide was also very good. Hope you do those as well.

One of the best paradox KZfaqrs out there keep it up!

Sorry Alzabo. I got the Stiff Upper Lippe achievement a week or so ago and now it is at .1% completion. I take full responsibility.

The first rare achievement i got was "die please die" i tried so hard to kill my duke by constantly being at war and losing as many battles as possible. He refused to die until I gave up on him. He had gotten a pretty good heir too, but he died of old age. In the end the duke of ferrara died at the age of 93. Btw he was a terrible general to...

For Mary of Lotharingia, you don't need the event version of Marie to get the achievement. Just have a female heir and name her Marie. Disinherit over and over if you need if RNG isn't in your favor.

Hey I got Stern Des Sudens - with Bremen as a PU :D Didn't realize not very many people had gotten it!

yay new AlzaboHD video

You can also do Don't be Cilli by Renovatio Imperii :) With cilli diplomatically oriented ideas becoming HRE is doable.

for stern des sudens you can totally vassal-feed bremen with coastal provinces around europe and africa (at the time of 1600) when you take them in peace deals. Less bordergore

Thanks for the interesting analysisLooking forward to the next big patch and my next run at world conquest as Ryukyu. Question......off hand - Does anyone know, if I form Japan and conquer the world but start as Ryukyu...would I still get the Ryukyu conquest achievment?

For my 'stiff upper lippe' achievement I managed to get a PU over an irish minor which GB had not conquered yet (for some reason). From there it was quite easy to get the rest of the british isles.

Proud that I have at least one achievement: Stern des Südens. Thought it would be a lot more popular and a lot easier for people to get

I would love to see detailed guide for Inner Turmoil and Stiff Upper Lippe, and Jerusalem of course.

I'm in the middle of a "don't be cilli" cilli --> mughals run 😅😅

On the rhodes again was seriously difficult, but my god am i glad i have the acheievement now :D

8:40 THE IRON ISLES Euron approves👌

Yeah! Good video, thanks

For my inner turmoil run with the Isles, I went into Africa and conquered the Kongo ... going that way is definitly not as hard as true heir of timur but still a bit RNG dependand gotta say though they have a pretty nice map color.

The Lippe one is the easiest one on this list apart from Mysore and Münich xD I won't spoil it, but I can tell you there is *one* thing that makes the Lippe achievement (and one other I can't remember right now) stand out from all the others, which makes it ridicolously easy. Also, you can force other nations to release non-existing nations if they have a core in their territory...

Maybes it’s just my horrible sleep schedule but looking at that “Scandinavian Isles” map made and hearing about all the no CB wars it would take made me physically ill.

as a werder bremen fan the "stern des süden" achievement breaks my heart

Stable video👍

Did stiff upper lippe.. Had PU over burgundy and got one 70 years before end date with great britain (they were i think second great power.) anyhow got lucky and a lot of rng. Was i think the 11 or 12 run for the achievemnt

Tiger of mysore is one I got without even realizing tiger of mysore was an achievement, I just picked mysore for a campaign it and later on realized that achievement existed, which I ended up getting. It was a pretty fun run. Also, I wasn't cilli.

Personally I'm not a fan of the cheesy achievements such as the Sindh Christianity conversion one. I do have the Madurai achievement and found that playthrough pretty fun. Their flag made me refer to them lovingly as the "fishy people"

Which map and water mode do you use? I liked both map and water color of your game.

I've done Tiger of Mysore, quite a fun achivement and it's not too long (got it in the 1570s)

Will you make guide for hisn kayfa?

I actually got a pretty rare one recently, starting a war against a country who I had sold condottiere to. Pretty fun little plot twist there.

I heard that intro and the one thing that came to mind was ISP

Lippe has the rose of Lancaster ? That's actually pretty cool.

Why Qing? Weird coincidence, I finished a Cilli->Qing run a couple of days before this came out -- but I chose to go Qing for a reason very specific to me (I lived in Cili County in China for a while). So I'm curious as to why you recommended that exact run.

Pro tip: any achievement that requires a releasable nation is easy, you can just release, feed, annex, then release and play as at the end of the run. So you can just do a regular France game and then release Lippe at the end.

Could you please give me some more details on how to get that Forgive me for my Sinhd achievement? Is that island Coptic? How do I easily win a war if all I am doing for this run is get the achievement?

Hey Alzabo! I have a few hundred hours in EU4 and was wondering if you could recommend a nation I should play for the achievement to play the whole game. I was thinkng if England or Spain because I’m a fan of colonizing but maybe even a Denmark game? Could you give a suggestion?

Hey, I have a suggestion for a video: Top Diplomatic Nations. I’m not sure if it’s even possible but I think it would be cool to try and make it through a game completely trying to be a pacifist and avoid war playing strictly diplomatically.

oh hey i got the Bologna achievement :D it was off to a rough start when i expanded to the wrong coast to begin with, but i was still able to get it before 1560 and now i proudly display the achievement on my steam profile

for the Stiff Upper Lippe Achievement are you allowed to form another country after you release and start as Lippe?

10:17 Much easier to go by sea. Feed Bremen coastal centres of trade and cheap provinces at max range. You'll get there *much* quicker than doing a snake. Take Sinai and that other province. Continue coastal hopping if you feel short on time for some reason... ... you have the _entire_ game to finish it. Should be harder *not* being able to do it... it's ONE province with NO timer lol (You can also use the great new mission trees and simply take provinces for yourself and later feed them).

To give context to the "Stern des Südens" Achievment Bavaria has the most point all time in the bundesliga followed by the club "Werder Bremen" who has the second most all time

I was caught off guard by that sponsorship.

Hey Alzabo here's an idea for a video: Top 10 Events in the game (Like the Iberian Wedding or Napoleon)

Stiff Upper Lippe is far easier than it seems tbh. You start as England, vassalise Eastern Frisia (Easy to do at the start of the game) to have easier access to the Lippe province, play normally by conquering the Isles and getting France in a PU. Then you conquer the province that has the Lippian core (It vanishes in 1594 so make sure you get it before then), release them, feed them all of the British islands, annex them and then release them again and choose play as. Influence and Admin ideas help. Was surprised at how easy it really was in the end.

Your game runs so damn smooth man what are your specs

Can you do beginner nations in Victoria 2?

Would love a Knights guide!

Could you do a never say nevers run?

Hears the ironside intro. ISP!

Are you going to start making CK3 videos once September rolls around? Or is there still some EU4 content in the works for now?

Dosen't Mary of Lotharingia require Emperor; as you can only form Lotharingia via the Burgundian Mission Tree in that DLC?

Isnt it possible for bavarian one to buy that province in africa as a trading port and go from there? I saw a guy on yt do it, he had some only pu challange

**Map staring experts?** I feel personally attacked.

commenting for algorithm, thanks for the great content!

Hey i have tiger of mysore :D was the first thing i did when dharma came out.

My Knights don't have this mission tree. Which dlc required for that?

Can we get a top best military focused nations? Or perhaps a top ten overpowered events other than the already known 'Burgundian succession' and 'Iberian Wedding'?

Does it matter at what point in the game you release Lippe? Like if you unpause does that make the achievement no longer valid?

Can you do one for ck3 ?

i literally that this is ISP channel from the intro

Where are you from dude? I swoon every time I hear your voice and I must know if there's a region of people that sound like this
