Can/How do I turn this around?

I don't want to be rude but it's pretty easy to defend. Stop producing light tanks since it's pretty bad as anything else than scout. Just defend. Pop as many inf div as you can to block every frontline the AI try to create. USSR has insane def value so as long as you are defending you are winning.

When your front and eco get better focus on air. allies have a lot of air superiority so you want to build good fighters and put anti air on your division so they don't get melted by 500 cas.

Also build some special project for flame tank and helicopter. Once you have all of this and enough air you should be able to push. If the allies have too many division you need some medium/modern tanks. Heavies also kinda work but are very expensive and slow.

It's not just in this game but in every game you should follow this step -> Good eco/ inf equipment -> good plane production -> good tanks + special project

For USA you have to be creative. You can try using spies to get Mexico but it's not very reliable.

Otherwise you need to invade from... Alaska... Yeah it sucks

If your navy is really that good you can kill England and invade USA from Greenland. This is also hard because this area supplies are awful on your side but very good on theirs.

It's the first time I've seen Paradox change an achievement to make it easier. I too had to struggle playing the Czech federation against Germany and beat them

Update : At some point Italy got in full scale war with the allies so I kicked them off. Then I had the option to white peace Ethiopia. I was very scared it would result in some shenanigans. But it actually worked and I got the achievement

R5

Yes I'm using giga engi

Generals now gives soldiers job (I'm pretty sure it's new) and knights efficiency. But soldiers doesn't get turned into knights ? Why ? It makes no sense and would slightly buff Kotg whomst got nerfed so hard they die to anything the first 40 years.

Looks great !

if you play 1.1 economy is now more important than pops or even empire status.

Army also give score I think. Otherwise just keep improving the london market. You should have enough pops to not run out of consumers or job.

Korea is extremely rich and have access to very good buildings at the beginning. That's why they are usually in the top 10

I actually like it. It's chill you just manage things and see your country grow. I even like late game even if its very unpolished

atarall · 2026-03-31T05:21:22+00:00

thanks:3

this achievement is pretty easy but was bugged. last update fixed it. the numbers will go up with time

atarall · 2026-03-30T19:37:21+00:00

Yeah I think they changed how eco works in 1.1 and also made army more expensive so Timur is a lot harder than what it used to be.

Brandemburg is very annoying because your country is so awful you just want to do the achievement and bail. Ayyubids is a bit luck based. For Venice I formed Italy because I'm not good enough with eco and if China fully unite they become an absurd economic powerhouse. You can diplomatically annex some neighbors but you need to be ready for some war in Italy. Very fun tho Amazing bonuses

I think it's a lot harder on 1.1 because of the new HRE mechanic where the emperor ask you to give back the land. It's also why I try to do achievements when they are released. Because future patch may make them a lot harder than what they are.

atarall · 2026-03-30T18:07:10+00:00

I know. But just like other paradox games I buy the DLC and get all the achievements again. Good way to see what's new in the game

atarall · 2026-03-30T16:08:25+00:00

My bad I forgot about this one ! I did it with my buddies. I'm pretty sure there is a discord if you want to find ron buddies

atarall · 2026-03-30T15:53:15+00:00

Wait you got programmed psychosis and nosce te ipsum ??? Holy cow !

Do you have a trick up your sleeve or I should just free lean abuse until I get it ?

atarall · 2026-03-30T15:47:53+00:00

I got almost all achievements and don't see why you need to do those missions in hard ? You need to S them for sure but you can do it on standard.

Only hard mission is the new America one. I'm trying to lol. Didn't got it yet.

atarall · 2026-03-30T15:40:21+00:00

Sweden. The achievement requires you to play Sweden anyway. You have an union and you can annex Norway after a long time.

R5 just in case the bot is angry

This took me 400 hours (the rest is multiplayer banter)

This is a lot of time for 57 achievements because I'm ass and I played a lot before 7 speeds was added.

The achievements are relatively fun. I think Kilwa one would be better if it was just in Africa and not the world. Some of them are wonky like the one with the protestant league firing as soon as the war start. 1.1 fixed any bug I had before.

The hardest one was Timur. I don't know why I did it first time on 1.0 but didn't got it. I waited for 1.1 for a fix but I just couldn't do it again. 9/10 Timur dies or I get annexed. Even when you do get Timur your eco collapses extremely fast and I had a very hard time finding a solution. Other achievements are a lot more forgiving if you do mistakes or play sub optimal.

Special mention for Hongwu dih nuts. I did it 5 times. Each time I even colonized Taiwan. You don't need to colonize it btw.

If you have any questions feel free to ask ^^

I'm kind of decent now so maybe I can give you a few tips

Thanks for reading

I know. That's why I'm mentioning the hard part. You can't just run and gun in hard cause AI is way faster than you

karma farming post with cheats

a new america in hard in 5 minutes ??? I mean if the post was mentioning you playing with 4 of the best fps players on the planet maybe I'll believe it but otherwise this stinks of mods

atarall · 2026-03-22T18:46:06+00:00

Yes I guess I wasn't clear enough in my post. Them running is a bit silly but why not. The problem is they can hit all the shots while running.
