So you want to cheat for achievements but fake it so you did them "fairly"?

There are exploits to do this without mods assuming they still work.

Best exploit non cheating wise is to learn the historical paths of the majors, and use that knowledge to be a step ahead. Though for most I actually prefer ahistorical, makes it more fun.

Some of the stranger achievements I did use tutorials if I was completely puzzled, like the SWEDISH BUS and the only one that comes to my mind with the RNG is the PUTTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER. I hated that achievement , had to restart so many times lol. But there are ways to cheese it as they say. Some of the ways I achieved some though would fail now as nukes have changed. For some of the world conquests , I simply built up , researched nukes, built a reactor in every state I could, and then spam nukes asap on the front lines and then if you had mechanized you would run straight past enemy lines to VPs and capitulate the enemy.

I only have the new achievements to complete. I wish Paradox not just did DLCs but also random achievement drops, because those are essentially the only reason I play now lol. Just to get them all. Would be nice to get like 100 new achievements in an update.

As for as I know, anything you mod to the files or exe will result in a failed checksum and disable achievements.

Have you tried the "Ironman mode" button directly in game through the native GUI?

i thought the console was disabled in ironman mode
Console should be disabled in ironman mode.
if you want achievements, you can use a third software to unlock everything in one second.

I reported guys who used this cheat software BUT...
it´s not against ToS.
And yes, I made a ticket for that and in steam forum itself about that.

People can cheat their profile without problems... and it´s allowed.

It´s sad and a shame.

Honestly people really need to chill out and stop caring whether somebody gains Achievements normally or unfairly. It doesn't affect you in any way. (propbably expect your ego I guess...lol ).
I'm all for the creator of this discussion. I am also utterly tired of complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RNG when it comes to AI. And I play non-historical only.
They really need to let people choose what AI path is in game rules and allow achievements with it. As of right now I tried doing Lone Wolf for two days. Constantly everytime I went fascist as Finland, whole Europa became democratic, or communist. In other words you are to kill entire world as a minor country.
Then for whatever reason AI after some kind patch or DLC became more strong.
It's like even if I play on regular to get achievements the AI feels like buffed to the point I can't stand it.
I attacked monarchist russia who was attacked by democratic germany, I completed before that every focus that gave me so much buffs I was choking from reading them. Created 2 supply hubs and upgraded my railways. But for some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unknown reason Russian division with 1% of supply, org 15% refused to be crushed by me, resulting in them entering partially into my land. not only that they were over my constant CAS but didn't care even though I was fully org and had supply. Didn't had economy to build tanks except artillery, trucks and CAS, so went with 12infantry and 4 or 5 towed artillery. To combat my manpower went with medics, then supply, shovel, artillery and one division had winter something from focus and second division the second support battalion from focus.
Both crushed in mere seconds from unsupplied, de-organized russian divisions.

I just... give up :sadpug:
No wonder I spended 900 hours playing mods and actually having fun in them than this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

whiteknighting for ironman achievements almost as if paradox is paying you buckaroonies for it
be honest: how much do you really care if someone's achievements are cheated? sure, 80 hours and 230 achievements, most of which are time consuming, does leave a sour taste in your mouth for a grand total of 3 seconds but it has no effect on you. it's also a singleplayer game where achievements especially have no more effect than a cosmetic and visual one, it matters even less

finland on historical with the AAT tree is overpowered enough to solo soviet from the winter war, especially if you pick the max army xp advisor with the first political power you get
most achievements should be done on historical runs if possible, it maximizes your efficiency and minimizes any RNG
