Ultra rare0.6%In 1178, start as the Palaiologos and become Emperors of Byzantium
Playable WITHOUT Roads to Power, per the wiki - a rarity among the Byzantine set. As Alexios Palaiologos (1178), you must take the Byzantine throne within his own lifetime, and NB the achievement is blocked if your Palaiologos successor is female - manage the family tree accordingly. The method is pure court shark: Skullduggery focus, murder-scheme the top succession candidate immediately, then run political schemes non-stop - promote yourself, slander rivals (skip Challenge Status; too slow), farm influence from governance issues and gifts to powerful family heads. Only murder candidates hundreds of points ahead; slander handles the rest. Top of the line? Wait for the emperor to die.
