Yeah--without Third Rome "First Come, First Served" is beyond tedious. But with it, you can get a fair number of the custom nation achievements (like "For Odin") in the same run. The key, of course, is expanding as fast as possible, grabbing the territory of other American nations as soon as possible. Also using that sweet colonial development perk you can get in the first Age of the game.

Siberian Frontiers is so great you'd probably still come out massively ahead.

Nope. Rolling back only disables chievos added after the patch you’re rolling back to.

I think before a certain patch it disables them altogether, but I might be misremembering.

it looks like before 1.6 disables ironman so no achievements. probably because 1.6 adds an offline checksum

As others said, you can only roll back to before major releases, but the Siberian Frontiers gained their cost as part of a hotfix, so you can't roll back to a patch with free Siberian Frontiers. More specifically, Siberian Frontiers was added in 1.22, and then Siberian Frontiers was patched in 1.22.1. There is no option to roll back to 1.22

If someone still has the files around, you should be able to manually install them and still play Ironman (because it's a valid checksum), yes?

I have a save from 1450 as Norse/Manchu starting in Panama with Siberian Frontiers. Ironman, eligible for Ideas Guy and a ton of other achievements. I can post it to dropbox or something if somebody wants it. You don't need to roll back any patches.

I feel like at that point you might as well build a nation that otherwise is in the limit, then use the "cheat in a negative one million monarch point consort" hack to give yourself siberian frontiers.

They got rid of their lucky status a little bit ago, though, which probably makes them more likely to crash and burn.

Poland and Lithuania had the PU, but it wasn't enough to keep their poo poo from getting kicked in. Now we have a Moldavia that's not only independent but fairly large.

From what I was reading about, it sounds like lithuania might have lost some development as well as some tolerance of heathens? So they're generally less useful AND spend more time dealing with their own rebels, helping poland out less. EDIT: heretics, not heathens.
