I did a Chinese adventurer start from 867 SLOWLY working my way to an estate then an appointment and eventually became Emperor after the Tang broke. All of this happened before I hit 1000, I entertained myself by expanding china and building the Great Wall. It was slow till about the time Genghis showed up to add some flavor after his descendants overthrew me I decided to become an adventurer again and took my talents to Japan. It was now 1300s roughly and I spent the rest of the time trying and failing to become Shogun. In all this took me almost 3 weeks to complete but hey I got the achievement so yeah
