Hello EU4 fans, I hope you're all having a nice Friday. Here in Paradox Towers we're hard at work on the 1.9 patch. 1.9 is mostly a bug fixing patch, but we're also throwing in a couple free features, so I thought I'd make a few 'mini dev diaries' to tell you about what new things you're getting. First out is 20 new achievements that we're adding in 1.9, mostly focusing on countries that currently don't have much in the ways of unique achievements.



So without further ado, here are the new 1.9 achievements:



A Holy Trinity

As The Papacy, own Jerusalem and have Livonian Order, Teutonic Order and The Knights as Marches.



Switzerlake

Own 99 provinces as Switzerland, with no ports.



King of Jerusalem

Form Kingdom of Jerusalem as Cyprus or Knights.



Krabater!

Form the nation of Croatia and station a unit of cavalry in Stockholm.



Lion of the North

As Sweden, lead the Protestant League to victory against the Emperor.



Guaranteer of Peace

Guarantee the Independence of France, Ottoman Empire & Russia. (Note: This requires you to be more powerful than them in 1.9).
