Very funny achievements and also this time less world conquering stuff, very nice. With maybe the exception of "We will Rock you" where you need to own, instead of occupy Gibraltar.

Also interesting your stayed on 475 casualties.
@CameraGenie I kinda agree with you. It shows flaws of the game, where it would be great if they don't exist. But they do exist, like there will always exist flaws in a game. Personally I think it is less a celebration of the flaws, but more an acknowledgment that they exist and can be abused.

If Chinese states includes Hong Kong, as Chinese achievements before patch, that's world conquer

Go ahead, Macau my day

As Portugal, create a collaboration government in Macau and have it own all Chinese states.
 
Warszawo, walcz!

Stage the Warsaw uprising and succeed.

For me Warszawo Wałcz achievement is pretty interesting, because it means Poland has new content concerning polish underground state.

OH GOD YES! @podcat actually noticed my posts!

So, event chain for Operation Tempest confirmed?

And @Meka66, i hope you're actually working on my suggestions about Formable Nations.

Terima Kasih!
 
Isn't there an option in Germany's diplomatic tab to influence France? This should result in a daily increase of fascism.

There isn't. Germany can influence only Romania, Hungary and Turkey.

They probably want you to use the new espionage system to start a fascist coup in France as Germany, or something of that sort.

Let's hope, because so far they showed zero content about how coups work now.

Edit: No clue why these two people disagreed. Germany cannot align France, and not a single 1.9 coup has been shown so far.

Not unlocked a single achievement so far. I don't really care. But i am more and more excited to get my hands on this DLC.

But where is James Boned achievement
Unfortunately the typo which sparked the comic moment occurred far too late in the design process and we will have to wait for the Intel-Espionage revamp DLC, in spring of 2023. As well, after years of waiting, Haiti and Cuba will finally get their dedicated focus tree....

@podcat

Has the front line musical chairs element of the game been fixed? You know where in the middle of shooting at the reds they take a break and take the train from south to north and back?

The game is not playable without fixing this, so irrespective of how much features you load up you should expect some of us sceptics won't pay any more dollar for Paradox games.

We are burnt enough after countless HOI4, Imperator disasters.

Reds breack train? What you say?
 
How will Germany be able to do that?! I hope it's not another RNG-based achievement, these are not fun at all...
Well, since this is an Espionage DLC, and Boost Ideology is now part of the Espionage system...
