I wish they'd change the going places achievement.

What a joke of an achievement lol. You literally spawn in with 3 times the number of troops as the single duchy kingdom right next to you and just so happen to have enough prestige for a kingdom invasion. Even Emerald Isle takes longer and that can be done in less than 10 years lol. They really should either make it an Empire title, or make it West Francia instead of any kingdom title.

I'd really like Paradox to play test their achievements for CK4 (given up with CK3) and ask themselves two very simple questions: 1) Do I feel like I achieved something there? 2) Was it fun? You'd think this would be designing game achievements 101 but apparently not. You can't tell me they play tested 'Saga In Stone' (erect 100 runestones... you get one every 10 years ish) or 'What Love Does For You' (lover save you from a murder attempt) and thought that they were both great fun.

I was actually absurdly lucky. I actually got what love does for you in my very first iron man game and had never had a lover save me before in any game before or since.

It's probs too late for you, but you can probs cheese it with Daurama. In my first 3 attempts, she was murdered within 2 years by the intrigue skilled concubine her husband had. If you get a lover before then, you could probs just reset the game over and over in that campaign until you get it. Thankfully just sending her a gift stops her from plotting against you lol.

I've spent well over 5 hours trying to get it with Daurama (again and again and again and... again and again and again). I've tried every single likely character. No fing luck. There's actually an even better candidate than Daura in the HRE but I forget his name. He starts with a lover and a rival... still no luck. I've pretty much given up at this point. Maybe I'll luck out and get it without trying eventually... seems unlikely though.
