Zerg Rush Achievement. How?

[Mordreid]

Hello!
I would like to hear any suggestions/strategy fot this.
You have 5 in-game hours to win big company.
As I know. you have 3 options to get victory: Emperor, All resources and total conquest. Last two will take more then 5 hours, so we have to become Emperor in 5 hours. My best try was 6 voices for me and 2 against and it was just about 10% in points bar.

to get the emperor vote, your relations bar has to be high with the kingdoms. they shouldn't just be your ally, but your hardcore number 1 fan so to say. best to do so is by donating gold, sending diplomats to improve relations, and joining their wars. that will raise the value of their vote in you


edit: i think, and may be wrong (if yes, feel free to correct me), you can select one of the minor victories and win it that way.

I won every minor campains for other achievements but didn't get this one.
And is it enough to get all 8 votes or you'll need to full that vote points bar anyway?
On best try votes gave me ~100-150 points each and it was about 6k+ points in that bar.

you don't need everyone to vote for you, but you need the points.
the bigger vote value is improved by relation you have with the kingdom voting for you. so higher relation bar, the more points their vote carries.

Just voting for you won't matter if they do so reluctantly, they need to be all aboard, trade agreements, kinship (getting your kids married) and, funnily enough, bigger army. I find it amusing that during the voting other rulers can actually go along the lines 'You seen their army? I'm not messing with that, I'm voting for them' in the dialogue box where they give reasons for their vote.

I'm not sure how well you can speedrun that, I'd think restarting until you get all the needed Goods within reasonable distance to try for KA would be easier.

Thanks for answers. I'll try advise with goods
Upd: Yeap, it worked ) Thanks once more ) Started as Germany with almost all resources, captured two provinces near with rest. It took less then 4 hours.

Also to add, taking certain religious cities bars you from gaining the support of certain religous factions regardless of how buddy buddy you are with them.
