Achievements

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

EU4 has 334 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).

Achievements, for the most part, can only be gained in single-player Ironman games, on normal or higher difficulty, with historical nations started at 11 November 1444. Since patch 1.30 limited country forming (aka endgame tags) must also be active. Some achievements will require that you play as a released nation. Some achievements can also be earned while playing a custom nation. Four do not require the 1444 start date. All of this is noted in the table.

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 97 out of 334). 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 exception is The Ostenders which allows a custom nation on the map, but doesn't allow playing as that nation, because the player has to start as Austria).

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.

Without unpausing, recall your merchant from Valencia. Unpause, and the privilege will be revoked due to there not being a trade node that you own 3 centers of trade, and are collecting in. 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

Grand Coalition Join a coalition of more than 5 nations.		Be a part of a coalition with 6 or more members	Way easier with the more aggressive AI from 1.20 onwards. Most easily acheived 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

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

Not a pirate republic	The required provinces are the geographical region of the Caribbean, not the colonial region. Don't forget Bermuda. Portugal is a good nation to try for this achievement. 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

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.

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

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

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

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 ) 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

Easiest done as Ottomans or Muscovy or Ming; the latter can demand manpower from its tributaries. Becoming Revolutionary Empire grants extra +25% national manpower modifier. Another way to get this achievement is to slacken recruiting standards, until the point you reach 1 million manpower.		1.12	H
A Hero’s Welcome Starting as Karaman, form the Sultanate of Rum.	Playing as Karaman	Is Rûm	Initial moves for a success are for the player to ally Mamluks and later when possible Timurids. Expanding East and land locking the Ottomans in the Anatolia region by quick expansion east and north will in conjunction with your powerful allies forces the Ottomans to expand into Europe, once this occurs your best chance is to wait for a good opportunity strike with your allies when the ottomans are weak.

A Kaiser not just in name Form the Holy Roman Empire.

Anglophile Complete all English and British missions.	Not using a random New World Has a culture out of the British group.	Complete all English and British missions.	Provided you are able to force France into a PU, the missions are fairly easy to complete apart from being elected Emperor of the HRE - you will either need to convert to Protestant and win the league wars, or convert to Anglican or Reformed and hope the Peace of Westphalia occurs - which can be very difficult. You may want to stay out of the league wars and rent out your troops to the losing side so you can keep the war going. Alternatively, you can just disband the HRE while remaining any religion.		1.25	H

To make them loyal you can do development in their land, remember that it costs 0 dip to integrate them as you already start with cores. Focus on expanding south and northwest to begin the game. Alternatively, get lots of allies and let the event fire. Sirhind will attack you without any allies such as Jaunpur. Provinces owned by vassals and other non-tributary subjects of the player's country will count for the achievement. Forming another nation, such as Hindustan will not lock the achievement. On the flip side, forming Delhi will not make you eligible for the achievement.		1.26	H

I don't like sand Have the most development while owning no province with terrain other than desert or coastal desert.	Not using a random New World	All provinces are either desert or coastal desert No other country has a higher development than this country All desert and coastal desert provinces	Easiest as Ajuuraan, because of their national ideas and the "Hydraulic Rights" estate privilege (which reduces the additional cost from developing deserts and coastal desert by half), that is unlocked through a mission in Origins DLC.		1.32	H
It's All Greek To Me Form Greece and own and have cores on Zeta, Thatta, Lamba, and Roh.		Is Greece Own the provinces of Zeta (138), Thatta (504), Roh (578), and Lamba (4104)	Forming Greece requires Greek primary culture. Zeta begins held by Serbia, Thatta held by Sindh, Roh held by Afghanistan, and Lamba uncolonized in Central Africa. Alternatively, you can conquer Byzantium and wait for Greek cores to form after the Greek Separatism event fires (requires Admin Tech 20). Release Greece as a vassal and feed him the required provinces. Once they are cored, diplomatically annex Greece and release them again, but chose to play as Greece this time. Note that since Thatta is in a Trade Company region you must own the province yourself to state and fully core it before giving it to Greece, otherwise they will lose their territorial core upon annexing.		1.22	H
Keep the Flame Burning As a Zoroastrian nation, own all Religious Centers and Monument Baku Ateshgah on tier 3.

Note that this achievement cannot be combined with Rekindling the Flames because it cannot be earned as a Custom Nation, which is required for Rekindling the Flames.		1.31	H
King of Jerusalem Form the Kingdom of Jerusalem as Cyprus or The Knights.	Playing as either: Cyprus The Knights	Is Jerusalem	Note that this decision can only be taken during the first two ages, so the achievement has to be completed by the start of the 1600s.		1.9	H

Possible starts are Clanricarde, Desmond, Kildare, Leinster, Munster, Offaly, Ormond, Sligo, Thomond, Tyrconnell, Tyrone and Ulster. Desmond is a good choice due to early military ideas.

Mass Production Starting as Odoyev, own one of every manufactory.	Playing as Odoyev	Own at least one manufactory of each type	The new manufactories (Ramparts, Soldier's Households, Impressment Offices, State House) are also necessary With the Rule Britannia DLC a furnace is also necessary. Building the manufactories isn't very hard. The hard part is surviving long enough to get to the required technology (Admin Tech 16 without Rule Britannia and till enlightenment with the DLC) as well as getting provinces with the correct trade goods. Forming Ruthenia through your missions does not prevent the player from getting the achievement.		1.22	H
Master of India Own and have cores on all of India as a European nation.	Capital is in Europe	Own and core all provinces in the Indian sub-continent (regions Deccan, Coromandel, Bengal, Hindustan and West India).	It's required for the player to directly own all provinces inside the Indian sub-continent (i.e. vassals don't count to trigger the achievement). However, the provinces don't have to be states. They can be territories, as long as they are cored. The capital does not need to remain in Europe. Edirne is European, so the Ottomans are eligible and have the best shot at a quick land rush into India.		1.1	H
Mewar Never Changes Complete the Mewar Mission Tree.

One nation to rule them all As Saruhan, have at least 9 loyal vassals with at least 100 development each.		Is Saruhan 9 countries fulfill the following conditions: is a vassal of Saruhan has less than 50% liberty desire has at least 100 development	Saruhan's core starts under the control of the Ottomans. Suggested strategy: expand rapidly as you normally would with the Ottomans until you have ~1200 development. Then, plan to release-and-play as Saruhan, taking most of Otto's lands. To do this, you will need to release Saruhan as vassal, wait 10 years, start to annex (to designate cores), feed it land, finalize annexation, and then release-and-play. You can cheese the release-and-play by feeding past the point of loyalty and then applying all available annexation cost reductions (Acquire Subjects mission, Influence idea, Amirs privilege, as well as any possible Policies). Make sure you wait until the last day of the month to do this, or else annexation progress will drop and you will be unable to proceed. As long as your annexation progress is above 100 on the month tick, it won't matter if liberty desire is over 50%. Once you have reannexed, you will be able to release-and-play. Ideally you will then own almost all Ottoman lands, making independence relatively easy to pursue. From there, you need to obtain 9 loyal vassals (NOT marches, NOT client states) with 100+ development. Rather than directly subjugating enemies to meet the vassal count, it is suggested that the player conquer and then release vassals; this avoids the forced vassalization malus. To help reduce liberty desire and thus total development needed, choose the relevant policies, and be sure to get the Splendor abilities in the Age of Revolutions (Anti-Revolutionary Zeal + Loyal Subjects). Upon release, you will no longer have the Ottoman government form, and should choose Iqta. Then on your goverment tab choose Lenient Taxation, which provides another Liberty Desire reduction. Note that during the feeding of Saruhan and following your transition to playing as them, the Ottomans will likely be severely weakened and thus open to attack. Keep this in mind, perhaps securing treaties in advance or locking in allies (though too many allies for Otto will make subsequent independence harder). Ideally you will be able to secure independence support from a rival.		1.32	H
Østindisk Kompagni Te As Denmark establish Trade company and have at least 10% Tea market share.	Playing as Denmark	Is Denmark or Scandinavia Has at least one province in Asia assigned to a trade company Has 10% market share in Tea	Easiest when Denmark chooses exploration ideas early to reach Southeast Asia.

Over a Thousand! Own 1001 provinces directly.		Own 1001 provinces	Colonial provinces taken in war from other nations do not add overextension. Colonial nations won't be established as long as less than 5 provinces are cored so don't core them until you get the achievement.		1.9	H

Conditions may be fulfilled any time after 1699, and do not need to be fulfilled before that time. Yemen is reformable via culture shift, so this is very attainable playing as any country.

Sailor Mon As Pegu, have at least 100,000 sailors.	Playing as Pegu	Have at least 100,000 sailors	The achievement needs 100k sailors in the sailor pool. The maximum sailors don't matter. Exploiting production development in coastal provinces generates sailors even if the maximum has already been reached, but this reduces the maximum, so it is only useful if 100k can actually be reached in this way.		1.16	H
Sons of Carthage As Tunisia, own and have cores on Sicily, Sardinia, the Balearic Islands, the coast of Algiers and the southern coast of Spain.	Playing as Tunis	Own and core the following provinces:			1.6	H
Spaghetti Western Starting as Bologna, become Mexico or Texas.	Playing as Bologna Not using a random New World	Is Mexico or Texas or Sonora	Easiest to do by forming a colonial nation in the Mexico colonial region (to form Mexico) or the Rio Grande region (to form Texas) and then release and play as them which requires Conquest of Paradise. But it is also possible to form Mexico or Texas by moving your capital to the previously mentioned (colonial) region before a colonial nation forms. Then no DLC is necessary.		1.30	H
Spain is the Emperor Become the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire as Spain.	Not the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire	Is Spain Is the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire	Easiest to do as Aragon by allying Austria in 1444, abandoning your Personal Union with Naples, and returning 1-2 provinces in Sicily to get just below 200 development. This way, you can add your provinces to the HRE so becoming the Emperor is much easier. Once you get to Administrative Technology 10, and the Iberian Wedding event has happened, form Spain diplomatically. Wait until you're already Emperor or you'll have to leave the HRE and it will become much harder to do again.		1.1	H
Spice Girls Having a female ruler, have active trading bonuses for Cloves, Spices, Salt and Sugar.	Not using a random New World	Have a female ruler Has country modifier Trading in Cloves Has country modifier Trading in Spices Has country modifier Trading in Salt Has country modifier Trading in Sugar	This achievement is only visible if the Leviathan DLC is active, but it can be achieved even without the DLC. Having a Queen Regency with a male heir is sufficient.		1.31	H
Stern des Südens Form Bavaria starting as München and have your Subject Bremen own Werder.	Playing as Munich Not using a random New World	Is Bavaria Bremen is a subject of Bavaria Bremen owns Werder (2778)	Werder (2778) is in the Horn of Africa region and owned by Marehan at the start of the game. As Munich, take your time consolidating into Bavaria. If you can, befriend the emperor and/or electors to make your life within the HRE easier. Once you have a border with Bremen or coastal provinces in coring range of Bremen, keep an eye out for opportunities to start a war that Bremen will be involved in. As Bremen is a free city, it will be much harder if you declare directly on them directly (as the Emperor will defend free cities). Annex Bremen in a separate peace and release them as your vassal(you can't vassalize a free city in a peace deal). Afterwards, consolidate power and grow large enough to combat your most powerful neighbours - Ottomans, Spain, France, etc. Make sure to give Bremen land as well, either in the direction of the Ottomans or in the direction of Spain. You will have to fight your way through one and feed Bremen provinces to "snake" Bremen's land down to Werder (this is because vassals need adjacent land or sea tiles to be given provinces and do not care about coring distance/colonial range). The least time-consuming method would be to give them a province per sea tile starting from the Mediterranean, down through the Mamluks to the Red Sea coast, and finally down to Werder.		1.30	H
Stiff Upper Lippe As Lippe, own all of the British Isles.	Not using a random New World	Is Lippe Own all provinces in Britain Britain region	Lippe doesn't exist in 1444, but it can be released from its core province Ravensberg (4775) which is owned by Berg. By first releasing Lippe as a regular vassal, giving them provinces to core and annexing them gives more land when releasing them again. Can be done as part of a HRE campaign. Ensure Lippe exists before you pass "Revoke the Privilegia". Feed all of Britain's cores to your Lippe vassal and then either annex Lippe or pass the final reform "Renovatio Imperii", then release and play as Lippe, earning you the achievement.		1.30	H
Sun Invasion As the Madyas, own and have cores on Tepeacac, Mexico, Tullucan and Huastec.		Is Madyas Own and core the provinces of Tepeacac (2628), Mexico (852), Tullucan (2626) and Tlapacoyan(853, formerly called Huastec).	You need to directly own and core the target provinces, and not through your colonial nation. There are several ways to achieve this: Move your capital city to North America before a colonial nation forms. Get a colonial nation in one of the colonial regions adjacent to Mexico and grant them a chain of colonized or conquered provinces in Mexico up to the achievement provinces with the help of the grant province subject interaction(or by transferring occupations in a war if they are on the same continent as the capital of the CN). The achievement provinces can be cored as soon as the colonial nation has cored a
