    Any tips for Hardcore achievement?

    So my current game seems to have stalled out. By turn 70, I have 7 ambitions, but the game devolves into "whack a mole" with rebel uprisings in different cities each turn. By turn 100 I still have 7 ambitions, and the options I get for ambitions are increasingly unattainable with these game...

    The best event ever!!! On turn 54, a "Special Ambassador" event (which unlocked the Pragmatist achievement) made a Roman Grand Vizier and put me in a National Alliance with Rome!!!

    Any tips for Hardcore achievement?

    Any tips for Hardcore achievement?

    So I gave it a go. Playing on the Old World map as Greece. Plan is to turtle my way to an Achievement VC with about 6 cities. Things seem to be off to a slow, but steady start. 40 turns in, it takes a turn for the worst. I have 18 Vandal/Barbarian units baring down on me and currently have...

    What's your opinion on civ switching?

    I would rather be offered a new leader at each age transition. This would make more sense than the civ switching and keeping the same leader throughout time as it is implemented now. It is emersion breaking to have an age end, and to transition from Egyptian to German civs while keeping Ben...

    Achievements difficult to trigger

    Ethnic Diversity: Have a Leader with all 7 ethnicities Does this have to be the original 7, or will "all 7" on a 7 player map trigger this achievement even if one of them is a DLC nation? Is there a way to marry someone with more than one ethnicity? Or does this achievement require seven...

    Actually, you cannot. When I checked his save, I was curious if this would work. The "Locked Save" feature prevents the modified XML file from loading.

    Old and Ancient Cognomens

    Any tips on how to get these? The Old +40 Legitimacy The game tracks how long each ruler is in power. You get +100 points for each year your current leader reigns. You get this cognomen when you accumulate 4000 points. The Ancient +50 Legitimacy As above for “The Old” but you get this...

    Your save does not look like it has any of the necessary options. <Root MapWidth="76" MapHeight="76" Version="Version: 0.1.43070" GameId="45159122-3ad1-43ae-951e-e18e8897218d" MapClass="MAPCLASS_AridPlateau" MapSize="MAPSIZE_MEDIUM" GameName="" FirstSeed="53314300"...

    Achievements difficult to trigger

    Muwatalli II KIA As Hatti, Muwatalli II killed in action at Battle of Qadesh (Egypt scenario 4) I have tried playing multi-player as Hatti, and this achievement did not trigger for me. Is there something other than losing the unit with Muwatalli II which needs to occur for this to trigger?
