Tours & Tournaments Achievements: Grand Events and Noble Pursuits
The Tours & Tournaments DLC injects a new layer of activity and prestige into Crusader Kings III with its focus on grand tours, tournaments, and the development of your character's skills. The achievements tied to this DLC often reward players for engaging deeply with these new mechanics.
The "Grand Tournament Master" Achievement
To unlock this, you need to win a Grand Tournament. This requires initiating a Grand Tournament as a ruler with sufficient prestige and then participating in the various events. Focus on characters with high martial skills for combat-focused events like jousting and melee. Ensure your character is well-equipped and has trained for these challenges. Winning even a single event within the tournament will grant you the achievement, but winning the entire tournament is a more prestigious feat.
The "Master of the Hunt" Achievement
This achievement is earned by winning a hunt event. During a tour, you can initiate a hunt. Success in a hunt depends on your character's prowess, the skills of your hunters, and a bit of luck. Focus on characters with high martial or stewardship skills, as these can influence hunt outcomes. Ensure you have a good hunting party and that your character is in good health. Successfully bringing down a significant quarry will earn you this achievement.
The "The Grand Tour" Achievement
This achievement requires you to complete a Grand Tour. Grand Tours are lengthy journeys that can be undertaken for various reasons, such as pilgrimage, diplomacy, or personal development. You'll need to plan your route carefully, ensuring you have enough provisions and that your retinue is well-equipped. The success of your tour depends on the events you encounter and your ability to navigate them. Completing the objectives of your chosen Grand Tour will grant you this achievement.
The "A Knight's Tale" Achievement
To earn this, you need to be knighted by another ruler. This typically happens when you perform exceptionally well in a tournament or during a war, impressing a higher-ranking ruler. Alternatively, you can try to gain favor with a powerful ruler and hope they offer you knighthood. Focus on excelling in martial activities and building good relationships with potential patrons. Being knighted is a mark of honor and a stepping stone to greater renown.
The "Festival of Fools" Achievement
This achievement requires you to host a festival and have at least 5 different guests attend. Festivals are events that can be organized to celebrate various occasions. They require a significant amount of gold and prestige to host. Focus on inviting a diverse range of guests, including courtiers, vassals, and fore rulers. The more guests you attract, the higher the chance of achieving this. Ensure your realm is stable and prosperous enough to host such an event.
