Once you have a border with Bremen or a 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

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.

Exiting and rejoining the game may result in the Ottoman deciding to give you subsidies as well. When you reach tech 11 you should have about 500 ducats and the 50% range bonus from exploration. You should try to reroll your dip advisor for the 20% colonizing range. From here you should save 220 dip so you can expel minority for your first colony in the Caribbean. It is recommended to only do 1 or 2 colonies until you can financially support all 3. After your first colony, try to prioritize colonizing the centers of trade and continue colonizing the Caribbean.

Islands in the context of this achievement means any province which does not have a land connection to mainland continents, meaning any province in Britain or Ireland will not count. Unfinished colonies also don't count. An easy way to achieve this is to wait until one of the berber nations is without allies and noCB them. You can core Moroccan and Sus provinces with extended range from exploration ideas and the colonial range advisor. From there, you can keep eating North Africa, or go to West Africa. The provinces do not need to be cored.		1.30	VH
