No Pirates in my Caribbean

[Deathwing]

So I started a custom nation owning all of Caribbean including Bermuda and the achievement doesn't trigger. What am I missing?

Like most achievements, "No Pirates in my Caribbean" is not available if there are any custom nations on the map.

If you want to know if you can get an achievement as a custom nation, have a look at the achievements list in the wiki[eu4.paradoxwikis.com]. If the third column from the right contains the custom nation icon[eu4.paradoxwikis.com], that achievement can be earned when starting as a custom nation.

Awesome, thank you!

This was changed? I did this one in 2020 with a custom nation

I created a custom nation in the Caribbean with four islands and Barbados as the capital. The Pirate Republic of New Providence is created by event. To get it to trigger, a nation must have two cities in the trade node, have 5% of trade power come from pirates, and colonize Bahamas (or Jamaica for Port Royal Pirate Republic). So with some careful manipulation, I was able to switch tags in 1460 with the Bahamas as my capital and 40 development. Doing it this way cuts tons of time off doing it a European colonizer.

I think it is no random New World, but custom nations are OK.

You are talking about the achievement "Yarr Harr a Pirate's Life For Me" which requires you to own all the Caribbean as New providence and which is available when starting as a custom nation. But the OP is trying to get the achievement "No Pirates in my Caribbean" which requires you to own the Caribbean while not being a pirate republic

Oh yes, my apologies...
