1. Apparently there's no actual guns or cannon units in the game, despite it saying there is. I guess we're supposed to assume the archers are gunpowder units or something.

There are, they are just linked to specific buildings.

Which is the building for dwarves?

Became Samrat Chakravartin, no achievement.

Became Emperor of Persia and India, no achievement. (Technically, it says you have to be Emperor of Persia and Rajastan, and Rajastan ceases to exist when you form India. So I'll grant that one might be valid.)

Converted Mecca to Hinduism, no achievement.


And yes, I'm playing Ironman. I've suffered through increasingly long save pauses every six months for nearly 600 FUCKING YEARS, and for what?

If you go offline for even a little bit while playing Ironman, you get no achievements forever in that game.

[EnigmaticHat]

That seems really anal for something that has no in-game effects :/

[Orange Wizard]

To be fair, achievements become worthless when you can just use the console to cheat them in.

Woo, mended the Schism. To keep myself on my toes, I ensured that all of the Karlings remained Catholic. Might make sense for the weaker Catholic realms to go Orthodox, but not the Karlings! No, those sonsabitches never go down without a fight.

the Karlings lost their kingdoms and became dukes under an emperor.  The Sunnis in Persia are the biggest powerhouses in the world and we just got the second Khan wave, even though the first is still going strong above persia.

The Germans reformed their faith and quickly lost sweden but gained england, and with the Caliph of spainfrica converted to catholic Id say the world is less dramafull but catholic moral authority fluxes from 96% to maybe 30%, so many heresies.

[Sheb]

Yeah, but then you could just edit your save.

[umiman]

People are going to cheat anyway. If you wanted the easiest way to get all the achievements you could just use steam achievement unlocker.

Hell, I've used it once for a ck2 achievements I can't remember because the game refused to give it to me.

I wish there weren't autosaves too. It's way too annoying.

[MDFification]

Welp, just converted to Catholicism and turned my custom kingdom of Estonia feudal. Shit's getting real.

I did it to escape the endless holy wars with the catholic norse (seriously, it's like 900 and everyone's converted except Norway. Plus they're all allied to one another - except Norway), seeing as it was preventing my expansion. However, now that my manpower's down due to the feudal conversion (I needed to kill Gavelkind) I'm constantly being raided by the 20 odd OPMs surrounding me. They're burning my cities (a primary source of revenue) to the ground and taking my money.

This will be tricky to resolve...

[Culise]

The trick is to not go feudal until you have enough holdings that will convert to castles, and if possible, to upgrade key vassal holdings yourself (as need be).  Then, when you go feudal, you go over all at once.  Tribal treats vassal obligations as alliances, which are a lot more forgiving of relationship issues; feudal treats them as direct levies by you.  I made the same mistake in my Curonia game (went feudal first, bombed hard), but my Poland game went Catholic to avoid the threat of a mega-Karling steamroller, but stayed tribal in the near term. 

Plus, I find it cheaper to use prestige than gold to buy holdings, especially since prestige feels so easy to get on a raid or ten.

Remember, there is no problem in ck2 that cannot be resolved by killing everyone.

This solution cannot solve the problem of ENDLESS MONGOLIANS

Only since the assassin's guild went out of business retired in extreme opulence.

[Mephansteras]

Wow, Buddhist outside of India is kind of brokenly OP. I just did a Charlemagne start as a Buddhist in Ireland for kicks (never really did an Irish start before). By the time my first ruler died I'd conquered all of Ireland, made it a Kingdom, converted most of the subjugated lords, and had converted several provinces. And since you get to pick your heir, I was able to choose a middle son with Quick instead of one of the sub-par elder sons.

Also, my ruler died at 60 to a heart attack during sex with his young second wife. First time I've seen that event happen!
