10 Video Game Achievements That RUIN The Game
5. Rise Of The White Sheep - Europa Universalis IV
Europa Universalis IV, the 2013 grand strategy, is the dream of any achievement hunter. The game features a plethora of achievements, from recreating actual historical conquests to silly stuff like becoming the emperor of Europe as Australia.
Most of these achievements serve as interesting challenges for you to try out, but some cross the thin line between difficult and frustrating.
Better yet, some require so much sacrifice out of you that they completely ruin your campaign and make it nearly impossible to continue it after getting the achievement.
This is definitely the case with the achievement "Rise of the White Sheep," which requires you to play as the tiny nation of Aq Qoyunlu and fully conquer your much bigger neighbor by 1478, merely thirty-four years after the game begins.
The short window of time combined with the size of your enemy means that you will have to rush every war you wage and spend a considerable amount of resources on your army, which will leave you completely destabilized and vulnerable to surprise wars from your even bigger opponents.
Unless you want to rule a collapsing pile of corpses and burning cities, it's definitely better to let your sheep rise at their own, relaxed pace.
