So I have this problem on my steam account where I do what it says to do but it won't give me the achievement. I also have this problem where I occasionally get achievements that I didn't actually do...but I get it anyway...you know...for the lolz I guess.
Before we go on I want to preface this by saying: I legitimately want help with this. I am not in the habit of griping for no reason and this is really bugging me.
Case in point:
I played a whole game as a super-tall Venice, purposely not using their UA at all to puppet anything and avoiding peace deals involving cities. I win diplomatically on a BNW game after sinking hours into the effort and it won't give me the "One to Rule them All" achievement. I reloaded and won again. Still nothing. In fact it gave me nothing for this win even though it was my first diplo win (another achievement) and first time winning as Venice. Has anyone seen this problem?
It also says I have not won as India, culturally, or on immortal even though I won a game as india, culturally, on immortal exactly. I haven't tried reloading that one, but it was back when I had G&K if that makes a difference. I won another game as Greece with BNW's new requirements for Cultural victory and it still didn't give me the achievement. I'm pretty frustrated about this one.
I also won with the Aztecs in the BNW scenario but it still says I haven't won with the Aztecs or BNW scenario.
Another time, I won as Attila on the Fall of Rome Scenario and got spammed with like 3 or 4 new achievements including random ones like: won on a huge map, won conquest on a huge map! Even though it was definitely not a huge map (about the size of standard) and I had only captured 2 capitals: Constantinople and the Persian one. I didn't own Rome--wasn't even close to it as I was focusing on wiping out the East. It gave it to me anyway. I had destroyed about 1/2 of the world's cities if not more though...it was a fun, rampaging game.
So what is up? Obviously no one can verify this as you don't have my steam account but I found this really odd. Does this happen when you are playing offline in steam? I don't see why it should matter but I often do...and has anyone else had this much trouble with seemingly simple Civ achievements? At first I thought they were somehow turned off, but I just got 2 more random ones recently...they were actually legit so it seems it sometimes works.
please help!
