I used the achievement saves after G&K launched, and the vast majority of them worked. The only ones I had issues with were those for the Korean scenario; things were switched around enough that after using all the saves, I still did not have Samurai Delicatessen (Win as Japan), Taekwon-DOH! (Lose as Korea) or Dragon Emperor (Win on Emperor).
Also: The Japan win save works... except that... you do not win. You should, as you have the most points. Clearly a bug they introduced in the scenario. Seems like you now can not win via points but must conquer both capitals, even though the campaign still tells you you'd be able to win via points.
Unfortunately you may need to check the dropbox location for these as they are getting 404 errors.
Fixed. C&P mistake^^ Thanks!
Fixed. For real this timeAre you sure they are fixed, I am getting the 404 Error still....
Yeah well... someone that plays with mods usually and just wants to quickly grab the achievements with the mods disabled might not even want to play a few turns to create a Pantheon .To be fair, though, those achievements are not particularly hard to get.
... the ItR wins as Celts/Russia, which all are really difficult imo - out of those the Celts one seems to be the most doable)...
I did the Celts-ItR Scenario wining this weekend, maybe I still have got the saved game in my hard drive. I'll check it out. And I'm playing the same Scenario with Russia, maybe in a couple of days I'll get the other achievement
That would be awesome! Thanks, even if you don't have the save left. =)
Wow, interesting idea. Are you working on any more of these saves?
Also, I think it is possible to unlock achievements in Multiplayer games, but only from Player 1. Playing an ancient leader game on the Mediterrainean, Ramesses II was the first player in the turn cycle, I used a nuke for the first time as Rama and I got the I Haz Nukes? badge then. Consider trying to make the first player achieve the goals.
You can unlock some in multiplayer (at least in Hot Seat), but not all. For example, both my wife and I unlocked some of the gameplay related achievements (use x unit, etc), but winning the game type achievements do not pop.
However, I do not know if the buy x tiles over any number of playthrough type achievements pop, or add to those values.
