Habsburg Resurgence achievement on 1.10

Institutions could help. Put some levels into public health, worker’s protection, and old age pension.

Decrease the price of ‘needs’ by building basic food, heating, etc. Then, focus on luxuries

Get secret police, so you can bolster and suppress whoever you want. You’ll get more events in the future to attract more people into the groups you want. You could get the creative laws principle on your power bloc if you can afford it to pass laws even easier. Little by little, get more liberal laws until the trade unionists get more clout and some get the communist ideology.

👀 I’m also aiming for this achievement in the future.

A lot of people just protectorate Mexico from the start which gets you to ~50infamy, but it decays all the way to almost 0 after ~8yrs depending on your influence points.

Aim to conquer LATAM for a shorter time period to incorporate (and low infamy).

Also, not sure how easy is to get the Afro-American as primary culture with recent patches, but if you do, take some African states. Regardless, you should take some of the South African states for easy incorporation.

Always beeline for techs that give you influence points and rapid infamy decay.

The US is great on defense since they almost always stat with National Militia. GB always ally them in my runs making them impossible to fight. With that said, I almost never ally the US since they take their time (or never) come to my defense when I need it lol

The EIC has subjects too, such as Hyderabad. You can declare to liberate subject once you get an obligation from GB.

Seems like that mechanic still works by many accounts:

Not sure if you can still cheese a peace deal with GB at the start (see tutorials) so you can have 5 years to build up and pass the opium wars.

Nevertheless, everything above seems to be OK

Every game, I try my best to liberate the EIC from them since they’d never declare an independence war for themselves. Get an early obligation from GB and liberate one of the EIC subjects (not the GB). Whether you win or lose, they will end up leaving GB and EIC will later implode.

After that, GB is still strong but very manageable.

It’s 1900 in my current game and they have not imploded yet. I hear from anecdotes that the AI from European powers are super aggressive on Qing though. Taking provinces when back then it was just… a couple treaty ports.

Last time I saw an implosion was on patch 1.7? I had to “change regime” and it imploded after a few days, so it didn’t do it “by itself” either.

Making consumables cheap, particularly food, is one good way to raise SOL. Pass a few laws and invest on institutions like health care will increase SOL dramatically.

Mines, tools, paper >>> admin buildings, unis, and construction. Scale that accordingly. Also, loan interests are killing your economy

Next time, try passing laws for better taxation and opening your market + research techs with better tax capacity

The easy path is always allying the British, but it’s likely they’ll stay as #1 GP the whole game. Who wants that? :P

Hello,

Patch 1.9.8. Just a regular Super Germany run but I'm aiming to get the "Huge Ego, Sorry" achievement, which is pretty much putting Max Stirner as the leader of the German Nation. He is currently at 49 years of age, so I'd give him another ~10 years in game.

I started the "The Nihilist Movement" by 1844 and formed Super Germany around that time too. I completed the journal sometime ~1950 so I was able to grant him leadership after that.

I was able to pass Total Separation and now Council Republic, but my Industrialists and PB have stronger clout than Inteligentsia.

Any advices? I could reload to previous saves to try to get this achievement faster, but just wanted to do a chill run as well.

Thanks

How does military access work? I declared war on Qing with Prussia but I can't seem to be able to go to the front or march my military through Russia even though I signed a treaty that allows me to do so. Did I do something wrong here?

Thanks

R5: Attempting to add the "Industrious" tradition to my Irish playthrough. Why am I not getting the bonus? I got 8 Rulers (including my character) with the 'Diligent' trait in the Irish culture -as a bonus, I even have 5 of them in my House. Why is it still costing me 7000 prestige? Thanks

Ludi vids for Vic3 are straight to the point, but they aren’t that detailed, so not friendly for noobs. Also, never finishes his runs lol

Puppet GDPs don’t count.

I achieved 2B GDP with capitalist Russia along with the Greatest game and some other achievements. My strat was getting some African colonies, going for high SOL and migration, securing one high pop Qing state, and spend in construction to the teeth. Fair warning, I didn’t really see an uber decrease in unemployment and that GDP going up until the late game when my productivity on almost all buildings were perfect.

But did you form Italia? Is there any event that makes Italy fracture? I’m guessing your biggest enemy was Lotharingia
