Achievements

For tips and tricks on how to complete an achievement, see the achievements category.

EU4 has 354 different achievements, all using the Steam achievements mechanics. Achievements have no in-game effects; the achievement just pops up in-game and then added to the player's Steam profile. It is possible to see the achievements sorted by the percentage of users that managed to complete each achievement by going to the game's global achievements at Steam (for more precise numbers one can use the Steam web API).

The difficulty of each achievement varies; some achievements are very easy (e.g. signing a royal marriage with another country), while some are extremely difficult (e.g. taking all of Asia's grassland as Kale before the age of absolutism). The below list groups the various achievements by a difficulty level as assessed by the wiki editors (uncategorized - UC - achievements haven't been assessed yet).

Requirements

To gain achievements one needs to play in ironman and also obey the following requirements(ironman itself is still possible even when not fulfilling these requirements):

• The game files must have the correct checksum for the game version. So no gameplay altering mod may be active and the game files must not be corrupted or modified in a different way. Most graphical, interface or music mods don't alter the checksum and thus are allowed.
• The following options are required:
  • Difficulty must be set to “Normal” or higher.
  • Lucky nations must be set to “Historical”.
  • Limited country forming must be set to “Yes”.
  • Province Tax and Manpower must be set to “Normal values”.
  • Nations must be set to “Normal setup” or “Historical setup”.
• All but 4 achievements require that the game was started at 11 November 1444(exceptions are noted in the list).
• Most achievements don't allow any custom nations on the map(exceptions are noted in the list).
• Some achievements don't allow the player to play as a released vassal and this also prohibits playing as a released colonial nation and switching to a different country in an event(forming countries via event is allowed). These are noted in the list.
• Most achievements have Starting conditions which have to be fulfilled when starting the campaign before any player input. These are noted in the Starting conditions column of the list.

Achievements can be earned while playing older versions of the game (1.6 and above) as long as the given achievement was present in that version. E.g., Azur semé de lis or can be earned in 1.11, but Big Blue Blob cannot, since it was only added in 1.12.

List of achievements

Achievement

This column shows the icon, name (optional with a link to a guide) and the description of the achievement.

Starting conditions

This column contains the conditions which have to be fulfilled at the start of the campaign.

Completion requirements

This column lists the conditions which will award the achievement if they are fulfilled in a campaign which already fulfilled the “starting conditions” at the start of the campaign. Note that the in-game logic for showing an achievement in the list sometimes erroneously contains an extra "Playing as <tag>" and as such some achievements which are still possible may be hidden from the player upon forming another nation (eg. "Eat your greens", "Basque in Glory", "An Unlikely Candidate" etc.). Fulfilling the requirements will un-hide the achievement.

Notes

This column lists helpful short tips/strategies.

This column denotes achievements which can't be completed without the use of DLC mechanics (currently 106 out of 354). The icon means it can also be achieved with custom nations; those without this icon can't be achieved if any custom nations exist, even if played by AI (The exceptions are The Ostenders which allows a custom nation and Copium Wars which allows multiple custom nations on the map, but don't allow playing as that nation, because the player has to start as Austria/ Ming).

Ver

This column indicates in which version of the game a certain achievement was added. Achievements cannot be earned prior to the version they were added in (and no lower than 1.6).

DI

This column contains a difficulty index assigned by wiki editors. VE = Very Easy, E = Easy, M = Medium, H = Hard, VH = Very Hard, I = Insane, UC = Uncategorized.

Achievement	Starting conditions	Completion requirements	Notes		Ver	DI
A Golden Empire Enact a Golden Age as an Empire.		Is in a golden era Is an empire	The golden era can be started on the first day of the next month after completing 3 objectives. Easily done as Ming.

A Protected Market Have 100% Mercantilism.		Have 100% mercantilism	Easy to do as Aragon within 1-2 years. Move Aragon's capital (or main trade city, if you have Wealth of Nations) out of the Valencia trade node. Send a merchant to collect trade in Valencia. Then grant the Burghers the 'Exclusive Trade Rights' privilege, that grants 3 immediate mercantilism. Without unpausing, recall your merchant from Valencia. Unpause, and the privilege will be revoked due to there not being a trade node where you own 3 centers of trade and are collecting. The player can then send the merchant to Valencia again, give the privilege and recall the merchant. Repeat this process until 100% mercantilism is reached. Alternatively, this process can be done with any nation that has 3 centers of trade in any trade node and at least one province in a node that the nation does not own 3 centers of trade. Some nations this method can be applied to at the 1444 start date include Castile, England, Tunis, Poland, Ming and Vijayanagar.		1.6	VE

Naval battles do not prevent the achievement.		1.1	VE
Combined Arms Have both an Admiral and a General with a trait.	No restriction of the start date	Have an Admiral with a trait Have a General with a trait	Conquistadors and explorers do not count. Leaders gain traits at the end of battles with a chance based on the military tradition gain from that battle, which is based (in part) on the number of losses inflicted on the enemy. The Ottomans and France start with a general with a trait in 1444.		1.18	VE
Cowardly Tactics Have a fort and a supply depot in a mountainous province producing livestock.

Afterwards, you'll have more than 80% Crown Land and now you can give 2 privileges to each estate. Several of the privileges do not affect the size of the Crown Land which makes it easy to stay above 50%. This achievement can be combined with the Great Moravia achievement.		1.30	VE

Double the Love Start with no unions and get two at the same time.	Has no personal unions	Have 2 or more personal unions	This does not mean inheriting two personal unions simultaneously, only that a country starting with no personal unions eventually holds two at the same time. Brandenburg gains a union over AI Ansbach by event when their starting heir succeeds to the throne, inheriting Ansbach's own union over Bayreuth. Muscovy can claim the thrones of Tver and Ryazan. Castile can get a union over Aragon and Naples if the Iberian Wedding occurs while Aragon maintained their union with Naples or got a union over Navarra from the event “The Death of King Alfonso”. Castile can also get a Restoration of Union CB against Portugal from their missions. Poland and Austria can get Restoration of Union CBs through events or missions (and Poland can reliably get a union with Lithuania by event).		1.3	VE

First, select a capital within Central Asia, be a duchy. Get the worst possible ruler, heir, and consort, and make them as young as possible. Then, you should pick the ideas that cost negative points, from most negative points to least (they are found under administrative ideas). You should be left with three idea slots, which you should fill with administrative ideas that cost no points. Finally, take all provinces with the lowest terrain multiplier until you have 2000 development. Avoid taking provinces with gold or trade bonuses, since they will cost more.

You simply need to use your two diplomats to build spy network in any country. There is about an 85% chance three nations will discover your spies within the first ten years. If your relations with them are still positive, insult them. Before unpausing the game, search for the countries with starting rulers with Secretive personality which gives +20% foreign spy detection.		1.32	VE

The easiest way is to start as Uzbek, increase development in Qaraqalpak (440), release Khiva as vassal (one province), declare war and conquer the province. This can even be done without a war by giving a 30 dev province to a vassal an then seizing it. Uzbek can use Kypshak (476) for this, because it starts with 18 dev and then give it to Sibir, because they are easy to keep loyal.		1.14	VE

Grand Coalition Join a coalition of more than 5 nations.		Be a part of a coalition with 6 or more members	Most easily achieved as Ming by cancelling the tributary status of whichever Southeast Asian state has been expanding the most. You still get the achievement for joining after the war has started, since you'll need to wait for the truce to expire.		1.2	E
Grand Duchy Starting as a Duchy, have 1000 development without upgrading your government rank.	Government rank is Duchy	Government rank is Duchy Has at least 1000 development	Muscovy is the largest duchy in 1444, though Lithuania could also work well. The most important thing is to remember not to upgrade or form a nation (like Russia or Commonwealth) that gives a higher government rank as you'll become ineligible for the achievement. Another way to do this is to start as a duchy in the HRE. You can become the Emperor and still be eligible for the achievement. You just need to lose the emperorship, which returns you to duchy rank. This method allows you to expand with the governing capacity of an empire, which makes this achievement trivial.		1.14	E

Contrary to the Steam description of the achievement, a province in the region Mexico is necessary and not a province in the region Central America. An interesting choice is Ayutthaya. Start by choosing exploration ideas, colonize the islands in Indonesia, followed by the Marshall Islands, and Midway. Then focus on North America, and most likely you can colonize Sinaloa, which is the easiest path for this achievement.		1.8	E

Playing as Norway	Not playing as a released vassal Capital is in the Canada region Owns no province in the Scandinavia region	Forming countries is allowed, but playing as a released colonial nation or switching to a different country is not allowed. The easiest way to be rid of provinces in Europe is to release Sápmi and Iceland as subjects, giving them all other provinces in Europe other than your capital. At that point, moving your capital into America is allowed, and then giving away the last European province should complete the achievement.		1.34	E
Made in Japan Embrace "manufactories" institution as Japan by 1655.	Culture group is Japanese	The year is before 1655 Is Japan Has embraced the Manufactories institution	Colonize the west coast of America as soon as possible to gain Colonialism.

Note that it is not necessary to core the provinces. Even unfinished colonies count. This achievement is pretty easy to reach as Muscovy and you can finish it 40 to 50 years before the deadline. It is recommended to form Russia and take advantage of their Siberian Frontier idea, helping idea groups like exploration and expansion will then be optional. But a colonist from these groups can be used to start colonies if the time runs out and one of the Siberian ports has already been cored or fully colonized.		1.22	E

Playing as Air	Is Air monthly balance is at least 50 50% of the monthly income is from gold	This achievement is only visible if the Origins DLC is active, but no DLC is needed to complete it. As Air consider royal marrying Songhai and Mali and improving relations after to get an alliance. Both should start neutral most of the time and are strong allies. After, look for choice targets and build over force limit by hiring a free company. Air starts with a level 2 fort on their capital so rushing smaller enemy capital forts is a viable strategy, no need to take unnecessary battles. You need 50 positive balance, not income. Consider disbanding armies, firing advisors and deleting forts when your income is over 60 ducats, with at least 50% gold income. Almost all expenses can be reduced to near 0 except for state maintenance. To get enough gold income controlling and developing the three gold mines in West Africa should be enough. In 1444 two are owned by Mali and one by Kong.		1.32	M

If choosing to play as Moravia, you will incur much more agresssive expansion and find it harder to make alliances due to being a heretic nation (Hussite) if you release them on day 1. There are advantages to starting in the empire though, so you may find it useful to convert some of Moravia's cores to Catholic before switching to them.		1.23	M
Hanukkah Mutapa Starting as Mutapa, convert to Judaism and celebrate a festival.	Playing as Mutapa	Religion is Jewish Has used the Jewish religion action “Celebrate Festival”	This achievement is misspelled as “Hannukah Mutapa” in the steam version of the game.

Always take the most "Open" or pro-Christian options in events. A few years after the incident ends, an event to convert to Catholic will pop up. If Mandate of Heaven is disabled: don't take the decision to enforce Sakoku, wait for events to convert your provinces and spawn Catholic rebels, and let them convert at least half your provinces. Harder if you have too many disconnected provinces outside the Japan region.		1.10	M

Simply make sure to block Spain from colonizing any provinces in Africa or in any of the islands in the Atlantic Ocean. This strategy should give enough time to colonize all of the Caribbean. With Mandate of Heaven, the "Portuguese Colonial Growth" splendor ability can give Portugal a huge head start. Annexing Portugal with Castile in the early game is also a working method for being the first in the Caribbean. It is enough to start colonizing the province, for it to count towards the achievement.		1.1	M
Not just Pizza Become a Great Power as Naples.	Playing as Naples	Is a Great power	Forming another nation, such as Two Sicilies or Italy, will not prevent the achievement.		1.18	M

Rather, it's referring to the fact that each incident has an outcome of either open, neutral, or isolationist. To get the achievement you must get the isolationist outcome of 6 incidents.		1.20	M
Sinaasappel! Get Orangists in power with 100% Republican Tradition, and owning a province in China.

Orangist-Statist mechanics require the Dutch Republic (only available for the Netherlands) or The Feuillant System (only available to Revolutionary republics) or States General (only available to Monarchies) government reform. It is not possible to get the achievement with the States General reform, because a monarchy doesn't have republican tradition. The achievement will not be visible unless the country's primary culture is Dutch or Flemish, but it can still be obtained. Colonizing Taiwan counts for the achievement; no need to wait for a Mingplosion.		1.7	M

Ming and Korea start with Mahayana already harmonized. Easiest as Ming, conquering some Hindu, Sunni, and Shinto land. It is also a good option to start as Korea, form Japan, then conquer Philippines, Indonesia to achieve this achievement. Harmonization requires owning 20 development of the target religion or religious group. Might be quicker and more fun to create a custom nation with harmonizing ideas.		1.20	M
Switzerlake Own 99 provinces as Switzerland while owning no ports.	Playing as Switzerland	Not playing as a released vassal Own 99 provinces Own no ports	It is required to start as Switzerland.

Playing as Pegu Not using a random New World	Is Pegu At least 50 owned provinces do not have Mon culture	This achievement is only visible if the Leviathan DLC is active, but it can be achieved even without the DLC. This can be done at the same time as the Sailor Mon achievement, and will often occur without any additional effort. With Leviathan, the Pegu mission tree grants a subjugation cb on Ayutthaya, which can lead to quite a large acquisition of provinces.

Be sure to attack the Ottomans early or at least cut them off from further expansion into Arabia and the Caucasus. You also don't need to have 100% professionalism at the time of annexing the Ottomans. You can just build up to that number later.		1.23	M
The Navigator As Portugal, get owned provinces in Africa, India and Indonesia before 1500.	Playing as Portugal	The year is before 1500 Owns a province in the continent of Africa and the super-regions of India and East Indies.	It's enough to just start a colony.

Events can also lead to a Habsburg ruling in Spain, allowing Austria the opportunity to claim the throne of Castile, and possibly Aragon and Naples as well.		1.1	M
The Prince of Egypt Starting as Florence, form Egypt.	Playing as Florence	Is Egypt	Forming Tuscany or another country before Egypt will not prevent this achievement. As of 1.26 Italy is an end game tag, and if you form it you won't be able to form Egypt. One intermediate tag that may be useful is Jerusalem, since it gives claims on most of the Egyptian culture lands. You can play a normal campaign (even form Italy) then release and play as the mamluks, achieve independence and form Egypt at the end. You can go as far to make a backup save so you can continue as Italy normally, if you please.		1.23	M
The Rising Sun Own and have cores on all of Japan as a European nation.	Capital is in Europe	Own and core all provinces in the Japan region	The Japan region includes Okinawa, Tsushima, Hokkaido, and the Kuril Islands. One possible and relatively easy way to do this is with Spain.

Due to their lacking of good military forces and technology those wars are pretty easy to win.		1.4	M
The Sudanese Expedition Starting as Morocco, conquer the Niger and Sahel Regions.	Playing as Morocco	Own all of the Niger and Sahel regions	For the event see: The Sudanese Expedition. Forming Andalusia will not prevent the achievement. The provinces of Yola, Wukari, Bauchi, and Djado do NOT need to be fully colonized, building a colony will suffice.		1.18	M

Start as England, declare no-CB wars on two Irish nations. White peace them ASAP. Other Irish nations and Scotland should create a coalition against you. Delete your armies. When they declare the coalition war on you, block the strait at Ayshire, then occupy Scotland. This should give you enough warscore; if not, beat some of their armies. Wait for the War of the Roses disaster to fire, which should give enough unrest (altogether with war exhaustion and −3 stability). Can be done in 4 years, depending on how quick the coalition war fires. Can also be done in combination with To the Bone. Start as Bone and declare no-CB wars on your two immediate neighbours, pillage their capitals, truce break and repeat. When you reach -3 stability stab up once and continue. This will give a high war exhaustion and a coalition should form against you.		1.32	M

With the Emperor DLC, there can be multiple revolutionary countries, but there can only be one revolutionary target. And it is possible that there is no revolutionary target even though there are revolutionary countries. The "Birthplace of the revolution" icon in the lower right part of the screen shows which country is the revolutionary target. Without the Emperor DLC, A country will become the revolution target, with "Revolutionary" in its name, if its capital is occupied by rebels while the disaster is active. The disaster spawns a stack of rebels, adds +10 national unrest and removes 3 stability. The player can check if the disaster is still active for a country by looking for the +10 unrest modifier on its provinces. It is feasible both to wait for (or encourage) an AI revolution target, or to become the revolutionary target oneself before releasing (and playing as) a powerful vassal or colonial nation.		1.8	M

Turtles all the way down As Korea get 135% Ship Durability.	Playing as Korea	Ship durability is at least 135%.	Can be easily achieved during a standard Korea Emperor of China run by waiting until you have a ruler with the "navigator" personality (which gives +10% ship durability) and enacting the "Promote Naval Officers" celestial empire decree for an additional +20% durability. This, along with Korea's 4th national idea will give 140% total ship durability. To avoid waiting for a ruler with the correct personality, naval ideas can be selected for its 10% ship durability bonus.		1.20	M
Victorian Three As Busoga, Buganda or Karagwe, reach administrative, diplomatic and military technology level 32.	Playing as either: Buganda Busoga Karagwe	Administration technology is 32 Diplomatic technology is 32 Military technology is 32	Most easily accomplished by manually spawning Renaissance, Colonialism and Printing Press, and not expanding too much. To get the other institutions, build manufactories and universities. Researching level 32 loses the ahead-of-time penalty in 1820. Forming Kitara will not prevent this achievement.		1.16	M
We bled for this Win a war with at least one million dead on both sides.		Won a war with over 1 million casualties on both sides.	Both sides each need to have at least 1 million casualties (attrition does count) in the war details screen when the war leader is peaced out. Allies and enemies that are peaced out before the war leader do not contribute their casualties. League Wars (requires Art of War) can be a good time to get this achievement if you are the war leader. Protect your allies and don't separate peace countries. Alternatively, you can trigger a big war in the late 1700s after you get strong. Regardless, be prepared to buy down war exhaustion as the war will almost certainly last way longer than it should.		1.18	M
