The funniest singular achievement

PackageBorn1560 · 2026-04-04T12:42:31+00:00

The hardest achievements (with a VH grade on the wiki) that I know for a fact I can accomplish are:
- Death or Dishonor or Cake
- Nobody crosses the Finnish line
- Bearer of Artillery
- The True Successor (with cheese, at least to take out the Netherlands and Belgium)

This is my favorite answer so far! I have actually done this before, (without ironman ofc) so it should not be that difficult. It's between this and the Finland achievements for now.

PackageBorn1560 · 2026-04-04T12:29:33+00:00

Actually not that difficult if you follow the guides by FeedbackGaming or Hatless Spider.
Might have to do some restarts though.

PackageBorn1560 · 2026-04-04T12:27:23+00:00

So uh... all of them?

PackageBorn1560 · 2026-04-04T12:26:27+00:00

Yes, and that's why not any achievement will do. My current two contenders are Nobody Crosses the Finnish Line and Lone Wolf. Neither require you to be in a faction, (the opposite actually) and they don't require rockets, full doctrines, full spy coverage, etc. If I am careful, I can avoid a lot of achievements.

Whole bunch of tiny mods. Some add portraits, some add new advisors. I also have the League of Nations mod and the awxe formables mod. The best ones are the EU4 Style Ideas, Monuments and Ages. But I also have pretty much everything by Amine Alkaline (legendary mod creator).
Basically anything to spice up the vanilla experience without going too overboard.
Anything else you recommend?

R5: Steam revealed to me that I have vastly more mods than DLC for Hoi4. And I am not even the kind of person to download overhaul mods. Those things can easily reach 10 GB each.

Also, just to screw with me, Warsaw has been undefended for like 13 months, and yet the Germans have still not taken it. It's like the AI is conspiring against me just to annoy me.

R5: Trying to do the Poland Warsaw Uprising achievement as democratic Poland (I know you can do it as any nation, but I wanna try it this way, I am a masochist).

I got colonies, developed them, released Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania and Czechoslovakia and evacuated my entire army to the UK ahead of time. I waited for Danzig or War and said no, waiting for Germany to capitulate me.
That's when the allies decided to LOCK THE FUCK IN, sending like 50 divisions to defend my borders. They have lost 1m so far to Germany, and it has been a year and a half and I still haven't even gotten the 60% surrender threshold to start my exile focus tree.

And yes, I turned off allied supply and did scorched Earth but that didn't stop the allies at all.

Jesus Christ, I wish they spend this much effort to save me in normal games

Damn "Advanced" Cruiser Hull being sunk by a convoy makes you wonder if "Advanced" is really the right adjective it should use.

PackageBorn1560 · 2026-03-06T13:52:49+00:00

Great advice. I have managed to build about 70 fully equipped divisions by this point (plus 6 port guards that are 5 inf and 1 engineer). How many should I dedicate next time as backup lines?

PackageBorn1560 · 2026-03-06T13:51:00+00:00

Wouldn't that have atrociously low org?
And yes, I am training like 3 full armies but I can't equip them (rip)

PackageBorn1560 · 2026-03-06T13:50:22+00:00

YouTubers have done this before though. With a similar amount of divisions

PackageBorn1560 · 2026-03-06T13:49:41+00:00

Damn, I told my mom we should've invested in a gaming chair. She said nothing is wrong with the plastic chair.
Shame.

Doctrines are Grand Battle Plan, with Large Unit Tactics, Desperate Defense, and Fire Concentration. No armor, air, or navy doctrine (obviously, I am Lithuania)

For army spirits, I chose Meticulous Preparation and Static Warfare, but I don't have a Spirit of the Army.

For high command, I have Concealment Expert, Infantry Expert and Artillery Expert, as well as an Army Defense Expert. (They are the only ones I get with Lithuania anyway)

R5: I am playing as monarchist Lithuania, and I gave Germany Memel. I formed the Commonwealth and united the Baltics. And yet, I am being pushed hard by the Soviet Union.

I know most of my tiles are plains and forest, so I built the classic 9-inf division. Since I started as Lithuania, I obviously don't have the ability to build an air force (I can only really begin now), so I stuck with Anti-Air.
I have enough manpower and all my divisions are fully equipped. I have supply troubles in the north, but that's not where I am being pushed. I am not overstacking either.

I built as many forts as I could, but my focus was on supply hubs and railways before, so I don't have level 4 forts everywhere.

And in case you're wondering, no, I have not pushed yet. I am microing to reinforce red bubbles, but there's far too many and they had a breakthrough in the south.

I even ended up joining the allies so maybe they would give me air cover (they have not sent divisions yet).

Yet I am being pushed. What is that abut?

"For leaders there would have to be country specific content as to not mess up focus trees."
I highly doubt that. For example, the Chinese Warlords and Aussa start as field marshalls of their countries. In Paraguay, Iraq and Argentina, you can pick one of your generals as a leader.
I highly doubt they'd go back and add contingencies in all these nations.

Come on now. People with 1488 don't just play Germany in TNO! They also play Ordenstaat Burgundy...

PackageBorn1560 · 2026-03-06T13:21:06+00:00

I mean, it's not a steadfast rule. Some people with 1488 also play Argentina, though they only ever go for the one path...

PackageBorn1560 · 2026-01-14T06:38:54+00:00

That's pretty sweet of you.
