"Starting as a Timurid subject, form the Mughals and conquer india by 1550"

Huhhh what do you mean with conquering India? Not even IRL Mughals did that before getting britished.

I'm guessing exactly what it sounds like. I think they may be going for a new most difficult achievement.

 

[The_FalKs]

Hey, shouldn't it be "Never say Nevers" (with an S on the second "Never")?

 

[tobias757w]

Is "The Pheasant Strut" start date locked? Witnessing whole nature AI Prussia itself is kind of achievement in my opinion.

ive seen brandenburg get prussa as a junior partner than integrate them and form prussia that was the strangest thing ive ever seen

I had just started a Danish game yesterday to get The Iron Price and Laughingstock. I totally could've gotten this new one in this game too. I had thought that I wouldn't be missing anything new as Denmark .

 

[Slayen]

Punjab is a 1444 Nation, so I would imagine you have to start as them and convert to Sikh.

Not true anymore. To quote the all knowing DDRJake:

Early screenshots did indeed show Punjab. Punjab remains in the game, but the new tag Sirhind holds their lands in 1444.

 

[Temudhun Khan]

I'm slightly surprised to see a "complete mission tree" achievement for Mewar rather than Mughals considering the latter was the one the patch was named after (Russia would also have been a logical choice, with the update on Third Rome). Love the pun, though

By the way, considering there's only a pair of DD left, I wanted to know if you still intend to reveal all the new national ideas before release, considering it was previously mentioned that an undetermined number of them were still kept secret.

I hope you remembered to change Savannah to flat terrain for the sake of African hordes.

 

[Interesting_fox]

Will the new formables also receive copies of the new units. For example will Rajputana receive the Mewar units?

 

[eliaspays]

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

There's an British TV show called The Eastenders.

 

[Nymerius]

So many new achievements, but none at a non-1444 starting date

Please, please, please give achievement hunters a reason to explore other starting dates! There are so many fun possibilities, and the US achievement in the game is trivial

That’s actually how it happened historically
In fact, Brandenburg gets an event specifically related to that.

Never say Never - As Nevers, own the entire France region as core provinces

justin bieber and jaden smith liked this..

 

[CaptainKush]

Not sure if this was addressed but, am curious. Is Bengal going to use Orissa's set or the old one still? I was hoping they get their own but am intrigued.

It just hit me why that song was stuck in my head all morning...

 

[BelgianGentleman]

next game I'll play a campaign as Flanders, set up a colonial charter and then form Austria to get the first unique Belgian achievement in eu4 history!

Why?
It's obviously a James Bond reference.

 

[Lord Hoosier]

I was the one who guessed Eat Your Greens and it being about Kale!

 

[hi there]

What reigoms would you like to see?

 

[Artess]

I must say, I like the achievements that expect you to finish the mission tree, when the tree is varied and interesting enough. It's an easy way to point me in the direction for a new campaign without also having to fulfil some weird and counterproductive gimmick — wchich, of course, can also be a ton of fun, but not every achievement has to be that.

 

[Achiles]

Where and when can we buy the content pack or is it included in the expansion?
