@@leogremmer4519 Also D don't you think there should be a releasable Empire known as the empire of Tea&N'Twinkies if you Conquer all three of New England Britain and New Delhi Lol
6:10 this requires dlc
@Ronin Westin Some of their claims in the website are not true. I wouldn't trust them.
My rarest achievement is finishing one game
I was surprised how few people have the achievement
I finished one single game ever
@@Iplayzgaming me too and was just to take the achievement hahauahha
I’ve finished a game once but it was multiplayer so no achievement 😩
Dante mine was when I was new to the game and no achievement because no Ironman, guess I gotta do it again, but hey, England is fun and easy, kill France, kill Castile, and game is over
Me: Mom. Dad. I've conquered the whole world as Ryukyu.
Mom: Does that mean you're gonna get a job?
THIS
It took like 250 hours to get to about 1720 as Ryukyu. I had a secured world conquest if I played out.
But I would literally rather kill myself. So I used SAM to cheat in the achievement.
@@VenomousSpyro What the heck is sam
@@Thomaswake Steam Achievement Manager. You can give yourself any achievement you want.
You can only get punished by using it if you abuse it or use it on valve games like CS:GO.
@@VenomousSpyro We need a tutorial on how to use a surface to air missile to gain steam achievements.
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.
i'm bolognese too
Bolognese nuts
Everybody knows that the most difficult achievement is to have a friend who plays EU4
I feel this
Savage
and once you somehow find one,get the multiplayer to work and not crash
And even worse your friend interested in the game but they dont have money to buy the game so he install eu4 with my acc then we play together but realized that we cant play the game in a time because we share the game and it can be played by only 1 user
@Safi you will be shocked if you're a Malaysian

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.

Sorry God I have Sindh
You've got to love that mechanic. I still remember how I was once steamrolled by Moroccan nationalists during my Byzantium game. I mean, they could have gone for Castille who actually held provinces in Morocco, but why would they? No, let's just siege Greece instead, surely we will get independence that way.
Well I have seen the Grenada nationists stacks go and besiege Lithuania for decades but I still remember way back in the day when any nationist Rebel occupying something got a core there.
10:07 German football fans will understand
It should have been the other way around or at least you should be able to chose your side for this achivment. I know for sure this will be the only one i wont try until they change the conditions ;)
@@laststand3525 I presume you are a fan of Werder Bremen?
@@laststand3525 They should add a "Lebenslang Grün-Weiß" mission where you have to win four wars against Hamburg in 19 years or something to appease the Werder fans
@@darklordaranyx2467 I am a Hamburg supporter and will try this. Maybe I fail, like my favorite football club but I will still have fun
Werder Bremen will go down next year
I imagine that “On the Rhodes Again” will stop being such a rare achievement now that Pravus has brought attention to it.
Step 1 - Don't ally Venice .
I am one of those 0,12% on the Rodhes one! I'm so proud lmao
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
I don't know about madurai, but I didn't have much trouble at all with tiger of mysore.
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
That's a really good idea! Did you transfer occupation to them in war and grant the provinces that way? IIRC you can't sell provinces to vassals if they are in a different sealane but I didn't double check. Congratulations on the rare achievement!
@@AlzaboHD yeah, I colonised my way to the province before realising Bremen didn't have range, so I had to do 2 or 3 wars against random African nations which wasn't too difficult
Same here. Much easier to go all around Africa and feed Bremen provinces after wars. And probably best to make them a March. Maybe start with noCB on Bretagne or Irish minor to feed a foothold to Bremen. Then Marokko should be fine next.
isnt this achievment referencing the football club Werder Bremen?
Jaron Lunau yes. Though “Werder” as in Werder Bremen just means “river island” in German; and the game jokingly replaces it with the Werder province.
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%
"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
That's a good idea! To be fair though the Mysore, Sindh and Bologna / Texas one are not too challenging in this video. The rest are insane, I definitely agree lol
To be honest I have done the one with lippe, really easy one just eat your HRE neighbours, secure the lowlands and try to snipe one province in scotland then just exterminate england, otherwise if you cant get land acces just focus on maritime warfare ideas and building a strong fleet.
There is not a lot of medium difficulty achievements, but if you want one try Prester John/A Blessed Nation. No early RNG because of your god king but you still need to crack the Ottomans as a African nation.
@@Orcigere you don't have to do it as lippe, you can just do it as any campaign where you conquer the British Isles and then release lippe at the end.
@@MisterCyfer quite easy considering the otto army is garbage tier after 19th tec, the mamluks are much more challenging if you want to get their lands for yourself in mid game
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.
they also didn't include achievements they hadn't covered in earlier videos...
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
jumpanama I got Stern des Sudens by 1700s. It takes time but it’s easy. I just attacked Africa with the colonialism Casus beli
Stiff Upper Lippe is fun campaign, after you've expanded a bit it is basically a Dutch run.
What give people feelings of power
Money: not really
Status: a bit
Earning a rare eu4 achievement: Hell yeah!
Gotta get that Serotonin!
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.
That snake... I've never seen one so disgusting...
Without Crete it'd have to be through.... the Ibadi ottomans! Cheers dude, love your content, keep up the good work!
@@AlzaboHD You could have just gone around Africa, nice meme though :D
So you can impress your family
I gave that up a long time ago. A true map artist needs no clan
That bordergore for Stern Des Sudens gave me a good laugh!
Awesome work, as always, Alzabo :)
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.
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...
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.
Wow, a sponsor, moving up. Great! Love the channel, keep up the good work!
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.
Nice, number 1 features my home region. :3
Great vid, dude!
Your voice is amazing and goes perfect with your videos, love your content btw always top notch. That is all.
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
On the Rhodes again was really fun. Nice mission tree as well!
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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 got Stiff Upper Lippe last week! Feels good mayne
Welcome to the 0.001%! Seriously, that's impressive, I don't have the patience lol
I'm in the middle of a "don't be cilli" cilli --> mughals run 😅😅
Hey I got Stern Des Sudens - with Bremen as a PU :D Didn't realize not very many people had gotten it!
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 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 UA-camrs out there keep it up!
Thank you for your support! I really appreciate it
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
yay new AlzaboHD video
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
8:40 THE IRON ISLES
Euron approves👌
You can also do Don't be Cilli by Renovatio Imperii :) With cilli diplomatically oriented ideas becoming HRE is doable.
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.
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.
This is great advice, thanks for the recommendation!
@@AlzaboHD yeah it takes the fun out of it but it's the same for the Welsh achievement, Great Moravia, etc etc. You don't even have to be independent.
@@flimpeenflarmpoon1353 yeah thats how I did the Rum Achievment with Asturia, after the whole Spain Tree Achievment.
Great advice. But it will take a truly great eu4 player to start with an opm and do the achievement. So maybe get the achievement this way and after a while when you are a better player do the opm way.
@@mikewayland2576 I don't think it takes a truly great EU4 player, it's just a standard HRE game. The reason people do releasable nation achievements the "easy way" is just to save time
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...
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.
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
On the rhodes again was seriously difficult, but my god am i glad i have the acheievement now :D
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"
I was caught off guard by that sponsorship.
Yeah! Good video, thanks
Madurai in MEIOU and taxes: *strong Doge* I have the powerful army and control half of the Indian subcontinent and
Madurai in vannilla: *weak Doge* plz guarantee
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.
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.
as a werder bremen fan the "stern des süden" achievement breaks my heart
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.
I would love to see detailed guide for Inner Turmoil and Stiff Upper Lippe, and Jerusalem of course.
Except for number 4, 3, 2 i have them all. Here is how i did Stiff upper Lippe : Start as France, (ally spain, and wait for England to declare war by event) conquer England , slowly conquer into the HRE for the relevant german province of Ravensburg. Now release lippe as a Vassal. Feed Lippe your own cores until u can feed it all your lands in britain. Now reintegrate your Lippe vassal. This will take alot time and and diplo. French britain is now populated with Lippe cores. Now release Lippe and select play as. Congratz on having youre very own Stiff upper Lippe. This can be used for any achievement not having the "start as" requirement.
for the burgundy one, I formed lotharingia and was a superpower in about 100 years, and then no female ruler for the rest of the game.
Every Game of Thrones reference gives you +10 prestige. Well done
Are you going to start making CK3 videos once September rolls around? Or is there still some EU4 content in the works for now?
For those who don't know:
"Stern des Südens" is the anthem of the German football club FC Bayern München.
And about 15 years ago, (Werder) Bremen was FC Bayern's biggest rival in the german league.
Hey Alzabo here's an idea for a video: Top 10 Events in the game (Like the Iberian Wedding or Napoleon)
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.
I bet the ‘forgive me for I have sindh’. Will significantly increase in % now.
Lippe has the rose of Lancaster ? That's actually pretty cool.
I feel bad to have started loving this game so late in my life.
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?
I heard that intro and the one thing that came to mind was ISP
Too bad my ironside partnership expires next week! No longer will there be the glorious hammer
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).
Which map and water mode do you use? I liked both map and water color of your game.
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.
Well, 9:50 I just did that achievement yesterday by doing all the HRE reforms as Bavaria.
Breman don't have colonial range, so I can't transfer occupation or grant them. So, I just simply kill Naples, Ottomans and Mamluks by HRE vassal swarms and then annex a feel HRE vassals for making a Breman snake. The snakes cut Germany to Venice then to Naples, Greece, Crete, Egypt, Ethopia and finally Werder.
Here it go Werder Breman, the most obscure border in History that should be remembered :D.
I don't know, EU4 achievements are more limited by my free time than difficulty. Apart from True Heir of Timur or Eat your Greens I reckon I can do all achievements without too much trouble. The problem is when I start blobbing again... it just eats so much time.
For example the Munich achievement is a piece of cake, form Bavaria, become emperor, for all of which you have missions directly helping you, win a bunch of wars while doing nothing and feed your vassal. But it still takes like 3 evenings.
A lot of paradox achievements are like that. On hoi4 for example the achievements either mean "fight and kill at least two major factions" or "spend 8 hours of gametime doing something absolutely pointless like researching rockets as poland or building carriers as colombia"
Gotta say croatia is actually a lot of fun, showed me playing tall is not only viable but actually fun
for the Stiff Upper Lippe Achievement are you allowed to form another country after you release and start as Lippe?
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.
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'?
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 Harley! For fun campaigns I personally enjoy playing outside of Europe. The most fun campaigns (ive finished) so far are Majapahit > Malaya, Mysore > India and the Incas. If you like Europe I also recommend the Netherlands! Fun is subjective so if you prefer big nations like Spain or England id also recommend Prussia, Poland and Novgorod. Goodluck in your next campaign!
AlzaboHD oh wow. I didn’t really expect you to reply. Alright, I think I’ll have to take your advice. I might play an Indian nation like you mentioned because I enjoyed my Vijaynagar game. Thanks for the great advice. And great video as always!
Didn't know Tiger of Mysore was rare and now I need to update my steam achievements that are featured
"Stiff Upper Lippe" ... As a German this is hilarious. Lippe ist actually the German word for lip. But we pronounce it Lip-peh (two syllables). Stern des Süden is hilarous as well ... given that the Bundesliga club of Bremen is called "Werder Bremen" ... some guys at Paradox really have a lot of wit.
If you are a Soldier/Marine/Airman/Sailor. I suggest getting PIA VPN because you can use it to bypass Gophernet and every other type of barracks wifi security and get practically free internet.
Would love a Knights guide!
Well, lets talk about the Stern des Südens achievement - someone at Paradox knows (or is fan of) German soccer. Bayern München (Bavaria Munich - the most successful German soccer club) had a ravilary with Werder Bremen (another German soccer club). Stern des Südens is the title of the offical Bayern Munich soccer club fan song. Just FYI
Will you make guide for hisn kayfa?

I Taked finally the achievement with Lippe to conquest entire British Island. 220 Years from 1444, Wuahhh now i will try others achievement, that it wasn't hard. I played with some Dlc: Art of War,Common Sense,Res Publica , Wealth of Nations and American Dreams.
