I thought I'd start a new thread to discuss and track the "hidden" Steam achievements. Of the 120 achievements, 17 don't have any descriptive text and only show up in the global stats page until you unlock them. As you unlock them, the descriptive text will display for you.
It seems that right now 3 of the 17 are known (2 being very easy to get), but we're left guessing on the remaining 14. Lets try and figure them out!!
Please let's keep this discussion focused on just the "hidden" achievements, and not the other 103...
[EDIT] They're all known now!! Link to all achievments on GameFAQs
[EDIT 2] It seems the new descriptions from GameFAQs aren't working. Either the descriptions are wrong, or the achievements are bugged. Updated to Confirmed/Unconfirmed sections, and added a note on "From Archaemennid to Safavid". If you unlock any of the Unconfirmed achievements please post about it!
