How should you achieve that as Iran if you basically have to conquer the entire world in order to get the peace deal because at some point you´re going to fight the USA when they join the war...
Super annoying :/
Any ideas?
Btw, is there a realistic chance paradox will change this?
It would be nice if you could separately peace deal them after you take out the territory you need to get the achievement or if you unlock the achievement by just conquering the regions without peace deal.
You basically need to play a very long (and tedious) world conquest campaign (PDX why half of achievements for this game are like this?!) or you need to get lucky with ahistorical focuses RNG like I did.
Iraq:
- Focus on them first. Do that focus that annexes part of them and pray to RNG gods that they will accept. Once UK explodes into that Civil War, attack and annex them
India:
- In my playthrough UK exploded into fascist British Empire and democratic and neutral UK with some generic leader. Entire India got independent and exploded into various native kingdoms. I just had to conquer each of them (which took a long time since non aligned Pahlavi Iran has slow war justifications for some reason).
Afghanistan
- Make sure to attack them when you have at least few hundred CAS for Ground Support bonuses otherwise you will get stuck. Also good Inf templates with Engineers are mandatory. I actually conquered them in late 1940s after India was annexed so it was easy.
Ironman tip: you can save scum a bit by doing a copy of your ironman save after some major events. If something really bad happens (like bad RNG) you can replace your "vanilla" ironman save with old one. Saves time. Achievement hunting for this game is already very tedious and long.
Btw, is there a realistic chance paradox will change this?
Nearly 0 chance. They are focusing on a new paid Expansion DLC about Japan.
To be honest, Graveyard of Empires DLC feels like a poor/mid low effort mod.
There is a "Iran Glory" mod done by 1 person which in my opinion is better (though English translation is poor since dev is Iranian).
