Achievement Bugs

[surb]

After extensive "testing" I have reached 94 out of 120 achievements. However, I believe that some of the achievements might be bugged because they have not triggered when I expected them to.

Has anyone else triggered the following, and under what circumstances?

Can't We All Just Get Along?: Play and win a game without ever declaring war
Definitely done this one...

Cat Fight: As a female leader, defeat all other present female leader in a single game.
Does this mean defeat any female leaders who happen to be present? Or a game in which you select all the female leaders as opponents and win?

Hundred Years War: Be engaged in a single war for 100 or more consecutive turns.
Definitely done this one...

I Have the Power: Win 20 battles with a single unit.
Think I've done this one... certainly have had some very high XP units...

Magellan: Prove that the world is round by uncovering a connected loop of tiles around the circumference of the world.
Known to be bugged and a "fix" is available elsewhere

Manifest Destiny: Completely control and have contiguous borders around your starting continent.
Definitely done this one, at least on archipelago maps

Model of a Modern Major-General: Train all Units, across any number of playthroughs.
Think I've done this one. Does it include unique units? Could not having Babylon be the problem?

The Elephant Battle: Destroy another Civ's unique unit with a Naresuan's Elephant.
Definitely done this one vs a Greek Hoplite

Tomb Raider: Pillage gold from an Egyptian city with a burial tomb in it.
Been questioned elsewhere - I've definitely rolled through the Egyptians in the industrial era but don't know exactly what is meant by "pillage gold from a city" - pillage improvements? capture city? raze city?

War Canoe Attack: As askia, conquer a city on another continent.
Done this on archipelago, continents and earth maps, conquering both city-states and other civs cities.

I believe the "Play a Mod" achievement is bugged also, I have achieved it but I have never played a mod. (Or perhaps playing as the Babylonians counted as a mod?)

I also have a general observation that achievements earned in Offline mode are not recorded. (For example, I have won a game on Settler but the achievement is not marked because the victory came in offline mode.)

 

[surb]

I can confirm that offline mode doesn't record achievements.

Also, the Play a Mod achievement can be triggered by playing the tutorial.

A way of clearing up achievements for sure would be if there was some sort of progress feed back. Like on the "win 20 battles" one: show the highest count achieved so far. On the "build every wonder" achievement show which wonders have not been built. Etc.

Only three of them are listed as locked on my own achievements list as well as the other places where achievements are listed. The others only appear on lists that aren't specific to one player account.

The ones that appear on my own profile are Magellan, the Modern Major-General one, and Tomb Raider. We know that Magellan can be unlocked if you fix the XML. I have seen someone post on Steam forums that he got the Tomb Raider one.

No we don't, the bit in the XML is about the circumnavigation movement bonus.

According to http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=9752558&postcount=149 there is a way!

I can confirm the "Modern Major General" achievement will not unlock due to the game not logging the Lancer unit as having been trained.

I am playing version 1.0.0.20 and the attached save will create a lancer when "Next Turn" is clicked. If you turn on logging using the method posted by DGMan (mentioned by surb above) and then proceed through the save one turn your log will not show a Lancer as having been trained. I have trained a lancer with China, America, Persia, and India. I have purchased a lancer with India and Persia. It is the last unit I need. Argl.

The Cossack, however, will show as being trained.

 

[Zelig]

FWIW, you don't need to actually "train" other units, you can either build, purchase or upgrade them.

edit: Disregard this, see posts below.

 

[SewerStarFish]

The map type achievements (Plate Tetonics and others) are not awarded if playing and winning from Random map type.

I can confirm this as well, the Lancer unit never shows as trained despite having been so.

Upgrading does not work. I have had many units that I upgraded to that didn't count until I built one( or bought).

Ah, yes, this seems to be correct, I edited my post to avoid anyone getting confused.

I don't believe the 'the wonder years' achievement works; the tally on every world wonder is still 0. Similarly for the 'natural wonders' thing.

 

[Setis]

Wonder Years does work, I've gotten that one myself.

"As Suleiman, accumulate a navy with 10 Barbarian naval units."



Playing as England, I unlocked this achievement early on.

Yes not having any status on some of the 1000 item ones is annoying as well. The all units ones is really hard as I am not sure, if i have even seen all units.

Where do you see the tally?

Wonder Years does work, I've gotten that one myself.

I've activated the logging, and have since played through a game to see if it would update the numbers for the wonders, but even though I've built something like 10 wonders in that game alone, none of them were updated in the log. (Even though units were).
I also don't have the 'engineer' achievement yet.
