[Impognagrift]

The Sikh man of Europe - as the Ottomans, make (whatever is an appropriate percentage)% of Europe's population follow Sikhism.

[Fawr]

I'm also not in favour of the achievements that require a new game/country for each one.

Name: Gustavus Adolphus
Condition: Starting as Sweden, conquer the Holy Roman Empire

What about
Name: Gustavus Adolphus
Condition: have your ruler die while leading an army in a victorious battle

Name: My kingdom for a horse
Condition: have your ruler die while fighting rebels

Name: no one suspects the Spanish inquisition
Condition: enact the inquisition (maybe you have to be Spain too).

Name: once more unto the breach, dear friend
Condition: capture a fortress by assault

Name: VOC
Condition: own all cloves provinces in the world

Name: John Company
Condition: Have your capital in western Europe and own all of the Bengal Region

Name: Baranov's Company
Condition: Have your colonial vassal own all of Alaska

 

[Spartakus]

Howdy Arabia: Starting as a nation in Arabia, colonize a location in Texas.

 

[KaiserMeander]

Red Turban in the Sky—as Mao own over 50% of China

Name: Your biggest mistake was forgetting about me.
Condition: Starting as Trebizond, conquer all of Anatolia

I think this should include Constantinople.

 

[natevandrake]

"Here, fishy-fishy-fish!"
-Control more than 50% of the world's Fish supply;

What about "Go fish", own 250 locations without producing any fish

 

[FreeLancer8A]

There's a stupid one I thought of

Cucuteni-Tripoli
As Ruthenia or Romania, hold the locations of Tripoli, Hârlău(? Iasi?), and Kyiv(?)

Question marks since I'm not sure which locations best represent Cucuteni and Trypillia

 

[Emoneh]

Monroe Doctrine: Starting in Europe, form the United States then free the Americas from foreign imperialism (no location in the Americas can be owned by a country with a capital outside the Americas, and no American country can be the subject of a non-American country) - encouraging the player to try out colonial mechanics, forming a colonial nation, and then quite an ambitious goal, but one that doesn't just involve conquering half the world.

Diverse Portfolio: EITHER have every trade good present in your home market, OR have at least 1% merchant power in every market in the world - encouraging playing about with trade. The first idea is maybe more on theme, but might happen very easily by the end of the game as global trade ramps up, which would make a poor achievement.

One Day as a Lion: Starting as Cesena, form Italy and attain empire rank - Cesena I believe contains Mussolini's birthplace. Might also be in the Florentine province next door, but doing it as Florence seems a bit easy.

A Clogwerk Oranje: As the Netherlands, conquer the British Isles and have zero revolt risk there, while having high(?) absolutism/communalism(?) - this was originally an idea for an EU4 achievement involving hiring a Dutch mercenary company as Pomerania with enough mil tech to get the 4th unit model, because if you do that the model has all white clothing and a black bowler hat, just like one of Alex's droogs. I assume it won't work quite like this in PC. But I still really like the name. The last requirement is supposed to require authoritarian/totalitarian government, not entirely sure how that will work in PC.

 

[Fish4me]

Name: Pomersnake
Condition: As Pomerania, own 100 contiguous coastal locations and no other locations.

This is assuming that Pomerania is a formable tag as it is in EU4.

 

[bluepotato81]

"The (Hwan) Empire Strikes Back"
- As a Korean nation, own Helsinki and make sure that no Finnish pops exist.

"Never gonna give Ü up"
- Own the region of Ü for 400 years.

OR

- Take the region of Ü in December 25th of any year.

 

[Vlad123]

Revenge is sweet: as Italian Nation form the Roman empire AND conquer the whole germany.
Money,money, sweety money:Have the highest income in the whole world starting with not the first country with income.
All profits leads to rome: As merchant repubblic have rome as your capital and have X ducats from trade
A Army with a country: As prussia become a country based with the army and become the Hegemon in the German Area.
Ultimate Ulm: as Ulm become Hegemon/first country in rank.
Hoist the black flag, rule the world! : Become a pirate country (a country with a navy) and controll the trade in mediterrean,asia america and Africa.

 

[za3tarani]

nothing wrong with reusing from eu4. some of my favorites where re-reconquista and the timur one (the conditions dont have to be identical). besides that, i agree with Tritium666, less about "conqering bla bla". we should use more of what is new in eu5, like populations, production, markets etc. so for instance, something related with crusaders could be to have "80 % christians in the levant", could be accomplished by for instance converting or other means.

 

[Sebroar]

Project Ceasar
As Italy, control all of France

Maybe it could be expanded with further requirements, like have at least x% control in every location of the French region or something.
(Yes, I had to suggest this)

 

[ArVass]

Mansa Moose
As Canada, produce more gold than any other nation combined

Shadow Government
As an extraterritorial country, have at least 20 vassal/subject states

Maxico
Form Mexico and control more than half of the American continent

The One Piece is Real!
Become King of the Pirates (no, not a confirmed feature, but it should be, it would be awesome if navy-based Pirate countries existed)
