Achievements

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

EU4 has 310 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 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. Six allow some custom game setup options. 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

The "Notes" column lists helpful short tips/strategies.

The column denotes achievements which can't be completed without the use of DLC mechanics (currently 91 out of 310). 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 "Ver" column indicates in which version a certain achievement was added. Achievements cannot be earned prior to the version they were added in (and no lower than 1.6).

The "DI" column is for difficulty as assessed by wiki editors. VE = Very Easy, E = Easy, M = Medium, H = Hard, VH = Very Hard, I = Insane, UC = Uncategorized.

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.

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

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.

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, Hokkaido, and the Kuril Islands. One possible and relatively easy way to do this is with Spain.

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
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

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.

Spaghetti Western Starting as Bologna, become Mexico or Texas.

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.		1.30	H

You need to directly own and core the target provinces, and not through your colonial nation. For this, you either need to move your capital city into the North America continent before a subject formed or to reintegrate them. Or you can vassalize a native, take land from some other native including the needed ones and core one coast piece to magically being able to core the other 4 and just give the 5th to your vassal to not form a colonial nation. Simply annexing a vassal in the region won't fire the achievement. You could also wait for the last age and use Unrestricted Conquest.		1.25	H

Bermuda is in the Caribbean region also. Starting as a custom nation in the Caribbean with the Bahamas as a core, and privateering in the Caribbean will allow you to spawn New Providence extremely quickly, giving you time to expand and colonize much of the Caribbean before the European colonial powers arrive. Pirate's republics can declare war on Colonial nations without their overlord being called as an ally, so if Europeans begin to colonize the Caribbean before you can finish, it may be easier to allow a colonial nation to form.		1.28	H

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. You will want to make the Caribbean your center of trade. After all of the 8+ dev land is colonized start colonizing the US east coast. From here you are pretty much guaranteed to get the achievement, however if you wish to speed it up you can take Mexico / Peru to help speed up the process.

After annexation is finished spend all your monarch points to boost provinces that Mann considers as a core. Now release Mann again and chose to play as a released vassal. Do not form England again or any other country because it will prevent getting the achievement. Alternatively, sabotage England as much as possible, such as releasing all releasable nations, leaving Mann for last.

Provinces which you own don't have to be cored, so you can leave provinces uncored if they don't give OE.
