0- Mummy
First, you need to have discovered and recruited the guy in the jar.
This homunculus thingy can extend your life, so you dont die to old age.
Secondly, when the dog card appears and tries to take you somewhere, choose "somewhere else" until you get to go to the Forest, eat the mushroom there to get the Clarity power which will let you see the numbers of your decisions as well as an accurate numbers of your current levels in your four power spheres.
Thirdly, what worked for me was having the barn built to prevent dying from losing all my population and the city walls to prevent me dying from losing all my army.
This was a nice synergy because to keep the barn, I had to spend army and to keep the walls I had to spend population. If you get the Cathedral built too, you wont have to worry about losing religion either, triple win.
Building those things can go past your current king, so your next king will also have its benefits, they last around 100 years or so if you dont maintain them.
Do not get lovers or crusades or anything that give you constant boosts to power, its very hard to manage things like colonies or spice roads since the numbers go up per second and the RNG is merciless and most likely, you will lose by having too much of it because time is your enemy most than a friend with those.
Avoid going into the dungeon, those traps and skeletons will end your run.
There is an event of 10 years of peace, I had it and it helped a ton, just keep playing games.
But like the other guide said, it is heavily based on luck but knowing the numbers helps a lot.
Well, good luck! 😃

0- The End n°1
To get this ending simply waste the 1998 Death Wish on a random dude (but not the spirit or the skeleton).
After wasting the wish, the spirit will come and ask you if you are tired of doing the same thing, when you say Yes, the game will end and this achievement will unlock.

0- The End n°3
This one is pretty complicated and kinda luck based too, but I will do my best to explain it, here we go!
You need several things done, most of these are random events.
You need the Doctor, he will create a Vase, this is the homunculus.
You need the Witch, she will give you a gift if you can rule for 15 years with a curse, do this and then select the Ruby as a reward.
Give the Ruby to the homunculus.
You need to meet and talk to the skeleton in the dungeon, to meet him you need to go through an specific sets of actions.
Find a gold door and a torch inside the chest, its a random item in the chest (gold/torch/potion) so you need to roam the dungeon until you find the torch.
With the torch, you need to go through the following gateway sequence: Fire, Arsenic, Acid, Break the Wall, Saltpeter, Devil.
Agree to talk to the skeleton and get him the strawberries.
You need to start a Crusade, this only start happening in the midgame (after year 1200 or so)
When on the Crusade, the Homunculus will tell you about a great secret in Lamascus, agree to help him.
When the choice comes, ask to reproduce any living organism, choose the strawberry plant.
Go back into a dungeon (The dog sometimes can take you to the dungeon) and follow the steps above to meet the skeleton again.
By giving him the plant, he will now sometimes appear in any king's run to help out.
Wait for the devil to give you the Death Wish Curse.
Never say Yes, keep the curse until, hopefully, the skeleton comes to help. Say YES to the skeleton.
Since the skeleton is already dead, the devil has been tricked. Congratulations!
Note: If you pick too many effects (Colonies, Barns, etc.. The Death Wish curse might be replaced, be careful)
