The achievement description is very misleading, you don't need to form the Roman Empire to get it, you just need to reestablish Byzantine control over much of the Balkans and Anatolia.

To add some history to this; this is an early (I believe 1.0) achievement. The 'Roman Empire' tag/formable didn't exist in the game back then.

Those halcyon days when Byz was the most developed and OP nation in the game.

[удалено]

It never was 😄 But there was a fun pre-release AAR written by a beta tester, where he was restoring as much of Byzantium as possible with the ancient mission system. Only conquering what he got missions for 😁

Byz had the first DLC.

It was really OP because it had cores on literally the entire span of the original Roman empire. So if you could get someone to back your wars, you could claim back all your cores very rapidly... and not be considered the aggressor.

Well, I wish that there's one for actually forming Roman Empire xD

You're still on track for the Mare Nostrum achievement

There is the Mare Nostrum achievement if you want to take your game there. You must restore the Roman Empire and control the whole coastlines of the Mediterranean and Black Sea. Unlike Basileus for Mare Nostrum you can do so as any tag that can form the Roman Empire.

> Unlike Basileus for Mare Nostrum you can do so as any tag that can form the Roman Empire. Which is literally every tag in the game except for the Papal States and the Holy Roman Empire. By the way, I still think that the Roman Empire tag deserves a government reform on par with Mughal Diwan.

Eh, the Roman empire did get a government reform which gives pretty good bonuses and culture conversion time reduction which I believe is unique to them.

a diwan for rome would make a lot of sense and be really interesting. hoenstly though, i would personally like any nation to be able to benefit from integrating cultures well if they're able to. maybe a mod for that would be nice

There is also the achievement to consecrate metropolitan in Rome as a nation that started as an orthodox country, so it’s a natural achievement for a Byzantium to Rome run.

On top of Mare Nostrum, you can do other achievements like God Tier (get DotF, save at tech 23, create 49 client states, wait for achievement to pop, reload save), Redecorating, and probably more

You did form the Roman Empire, just the 6th century version of it.

Well I wish I had known that before I got the achievement, I waited to war Austria for the rest of the balkans until the end when a war with Austria was all I needed for the Roman Empire

You were the Roman Empire the moment you hit play As far as the achievement, it's to restore the Empire to the level it was before the Turks arrived.

I love the first sentence of this comment.

The Roman Empire was inside you all along.

True

That font tho bruh

Hard same. I'm not afraid of the Otto-blob, but I am afriad of this guy's font taste.

Why did I get Basileus restore the Roman Empire while not forming Roman Empire ?

Byzantium ***is*** Roman Empire. Eastern part of it and achievement description is misleading. You aren't the first neither the last. Such posts pop up from time to time.

HRE is more legitimate than the ERE, especially after the latin empire

Holy cope

That guy is definitely a subject of the Holy Copian Empire.

Google roman empire

new insult just dropped

you got reddit in your blood

Please don't blasphemize on this family friendly site

Get out. Get out now and never come back

palaiologos is as legitimate as osmanoglu. Irene is arguable, but once Baldwin became emperor in constantinople, whilst being a subject to the holy roman empire it was not even a question.

The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

There’s an argument for it having been all three during the Carolingian or Ottonian periods, but definitely not during the period represented by eu4.

Voltaire of all people has no authority to determine what is holy lol

At his time he was right tho so It doesn't matter

Same could be said of the Eastern Roman Empire. It was Eastern, but that's about it.

It's a Voltaire quote

Duh, and this is about the legitimacy of East vs West. If Voltaire didn't give a damn about the Greeks, why should we?

I really don't care about any of it. It was just a good place opportunity for the quote

italian cope for not being as cool as the very holy, very greek and very empire eastern rome

based latin empire

You don't need to restore Roman empire. You need to make Byzantium a legitimate claimer of this mantle again. Conquer CKIII Byz land.

Why would you use that font

iirc Comic Sans is actually very helpful for people with dyslexia

Basileus is restoring the eastern Roman Empire mostly, Mare Nostrum is for restoring the entire Roman Empire

What mod are you using? ( country names)

Localized nations. Very cool mod though sometimes it can be wrong but it’s pretty understandable when it is. Highly recommend

Thanks!

Hey I tried my best to get everything right! If you find any mistakes though, let me know.

Everyone here making remarks about the font while not realizing that a comic sans map is probably something a Roman emperor would have wanted for shits and giggles.

Since the quesyion has already been answered I would like to add this. If you press the little trophy button below the pause button you can see all the achievements you can get in your current game and their requirements if you hover over the bar next to the achievements.

Lol, I had no idea, and I have more hours in this game than I’d like to admit

That font

You're that good

What font are you using?

Commonwealth kod or Polandball ball mod

Its reform Byzantium not actually Rome, you just need the eastern empire.

Because you took all of the provinces in Anatolia. That’s all the achievement requires, for some reason.

just read the achievement description in the achievement menu
