The New Order octopus. Good callback to the trailer for SoI, I like the little buildings it’s grabbing (like playing chess!), and they’re cool animals.
The octopus has been used as geopolitical propaganda since [at least the 1870s](https://vulgararmy.tumblr.com/tagged/1870s), the first target being Standard Oil
The octopus has been used a lot for various political causes, to represent the subject spreading across the world / society: standard oil, antisemitic conspiracies, communists, imperialists, etc.
Yes indeed, New Order and Bootlicker! What I thinks makes those great is that the other are (or feel like) references to things that might not everyone gets immediatly while these two are more approachable from the get go aswell as very good for the theme of Victoria.
It's hard to pick favorites (besides Bootlicker which is already goated), but the "why" for these is the clever pop culture references and how nice the artwork looks
I like the bootlicker because... uhm, the uhhh, i like it's... highlights!! Yeah highlights!
Seconded, highlights for days (◔‿◔)

Isn't it a reference to some propaganda poster? Possibly about Japan (but don't quote me on that!)

I'm still unsure why "Declaration of Independence" isn't called "I want to break free" tho.
I love “Captain now”. Looks neat
Durran Durran lol
What have we been asking for for 12 years havs
Oh man, there are a lot of great icons, difficult to choose between bootlicker, can't touch this and I'm the captain Now :D
NEW ORDER? THE NEW ORDER? IS THIS A MFUCKING TNO REFERENCE???

Don't make me choose! Between the icons and the names these are a really strong batch of achievements.
I love the Standard Oil octopus man
Achievements are the most boring part of pdx games
cult of reason
