Østindisk Kompagni Te: As Denmark establish Trade company and have at least 10% Tea market share

That name looks a bit weird.
Perhaps use a historical name instead of Østindisk Kompagni? (And preferably skip the te part. That looks out of place, at least unless you add a genitive s, i.e. Østindisk Kompagnis Te.)

Anyway the company used during the time frame was called Asiatisk Kompagni.

And if you think that's too broad then there is Det Østasiatiske Kompagni more commonly known as ØK, which also could be used.

Maybe you could simply include Brandenburg (and Teutonic order) in the possible enemies. That would make it more likely there is actually a chance of reaching it...

Just vassalize Brandenburg, feed them the Prussian lands, and wait. Then release and fight. Though the requirement for them to be reformed or protestant might be a problem.
Or start a game after 1525 when Prussia always exist, assuming this isn't another achievement you need to start in 1444 to get, though.

 

[Maldazar]

Why do you add achievements to nations that already had achievements and that did not get any new features in in the patch/DLC? Denmark and Austria are very strange choices here... So many tags in Europe without a single achievement and you choose two that already have some?

Imho it's not a bad idea to add achievements for countries that people like playing. I have been wanting to for example do a new Austria run, but was demotivated by there not being any specific achievement for me to earn anymore.

 

[HottestRod]

Will there be a bundle of the Content Pack and the Expansion? I would love to Pre-Order but fear missing out on a discount for buying both in one swoop.

The bundle is not live yet unfortunately, but it will be upon the release of Dharma. And this discount will be available both for those that per-ordered Dharma on Steam or Plaza! Regarding plaza pre-orders, once you've activated your purchase on Steam, the bundle will be available for purchase!

 

[Kapi96]

Yay for new achievements. Some of them sound really fun to do too

 

[Lord Lambert]

Prussia won't form more often in Dharma than usual. Then again, you can always take a few actions to nudge the formation in the right direction!

Vassalise Brandenburg - feed - release - apocalypse

I like it.

 

[magni.]

Will never happen for the simplest reason that a subject nation cannot form Prussia.

Your wrong, there are 3 decisions to for Prussia, 2 of them allow it while it's a subject

 

[Willem IV]

Nice. I love all the puns. I was just wondering, where does the name and idea for The Ostenders achievement come from?

It’s about the shortlived but successful Ostende Companie in the Austrian Netherlands. The pun is a reference to the British tv-serie of “EastEnders”

 

[Llyw olaf]

Tiger of Mysore!
Have you added more start screen synopsis to various Indian nations? it's a recent addition that I enjoy, and if so, which ones?
Since I'm greedy, and feel you could do more with Mysore, I hope it has a unique synopsis with Dharma, if not @Trin Tragula please correct this injustice if you can.

Also, in the True Heir of Timor achievement description india should be India, don't make the same mistake that CKII did with the Vasco da Gama achievement.

 

[PhoenixG]

I said nothing about the trade company part... Just the fact that you have to be Denmark/Austria


Pretty hard considering how far away you are. If the reformation fails in that area, there is nothing you can do about that.

I guess you could go Protestant/reformed and enforce it on TO/Brandy

 

[Mingmung]

Beginning to get curious what the free patch between Dharma and the next DLC will be.

 

[Vince75]

The bundle is not live yet unfortunately, but it will be upon the release of Dharma. And this discount will be available both for those that per-ordered Dharma on Steam or Plaza! Regarding plaza pre-orders, once you've activated your purchase on Steam, the bundle will be available for purchase!

So if i preorder Dharma on Steam, I will then have a price for the content pack that would make the two purchases -10% in total ? Not just the content pack ?

 

[Dr Rainfrog]

Why did you allow pre orders for a dlc if you were going to release a content pack seperatley? why not incluede it all as one?

 

[HeyIAmInfinity]

Very interesting achievements.

 

[Groogy]

I was wondering this as well. Was there ever an austrian east india trading company Im not aware of?

Yes there was.

 

[Aotrs Commander]

I am not personally too bothered about achivements (though the PDX ones are good enough that, while I won't play ironman to actually get them they do occasionally give me some ideas).

But I do love the puns. I really do.

 

[huyderman]

With so many achievements, I wish the achievement tab got some more love. Ideally, you'd be able to filter which achievements you already have, and it would be nice if it integrated with the country selection screen so you could see "which countries are legible for this achievement" or "this country is legible for these achievements".

 

[Aotrs Commander]

Actually, serious question. Wasn't Steam muttering something about limiting the number of achievements to 100 or something (to target all the dreck games that exist only to give out thousands of achievements)? How will/would that impact all the PDX games?

 

[Tavior]

I really like that fallout themed picture for mewer never change achievement.

I just might do that one eventually at some point.

 

[Wuddel]

Grade A puns. I approve.
