Achievement Saves (for the lazy and/or the frustrated people out there)

Thanks for all the time put into these saves! I had about 65% of them to begin with.

Also, to help speed things up on some of the achievements that take a long time to process:
1. Put on single player quick combat
2. Put on strategic view
This will greatly speed things up!
 
Since the MM-G achievement on this thread does not seem to work, I figured I would post one myself.

Pretty simple achievement.

All DLC's are active.

SMOKY SKIES - MODERN MAJOR-GENERAL

End the turn.
Modern Major-General (Win the Empires of the Smoky Skies scenario.)
 
In the Hakka - Sweden- Intrique one:

While the save can be used to unlock Sweden's victory & intrigue; This save won't unlock Lion of the North. Looks like the reason it doesn't is that the Great General has already been stacked with the Hakka for at least one turn and so in that particular game it's already done so.

Edit 1:
The quickest way to unlock Lion of the North by itself for those that have already won as Sweden appears to be:
Modern era start.
Choose any map that has strategic balance.
Settle one of the starting settlers on a Horse (saves 4 turns otherwise needed by a worker). Do whatever you want with the other starting settlers, workers, and military units.
Choose the Honor tree opener and left side down to the one granting a free Great General as starting social policies. Pick whatever you want for the rest.
Build the Hakka. When it completes, relocate it and a Great General to the same tile. End turn.

Edit 2:
Or load this save and relocate both the GG & Hakka to the same tile and end turn.

Edit 3:
Unrelated, but there's a bug in the New World scenario. The game doesn't end when someone hits 1000 points but keeps going the full 100 turns no matter what.

So, you guys excited for the new expansion? Hope we all can work together like we did for vanilla and G&K! :)

What exactly does getting all of the absolutely stupid 'achievements' in this game earn you, other than a 'yippee look at me ain't I cool'?

I for one, just like the pretty icons instead of the ugly locks. ;)
 
I am 90% sure that they do. Any time you get the victory screen should add to the count.
 
Hello,

In fact this achievement ia already covered by FeiLing's Save FeiLing_GK_IntrigueHakkaFamily.Civ5Save on post #3.

Thanks,

Updated original post with the save added by The Massacrerer for the Modern Major-General achievement.

Thanks!

Hello,

I just tested all the savegames in the original post, and can confirm that the following ones are not working as of December 2012:

1) New World Scenario. As stated in the OP, they are bugged. However, the France savegame DID work for me. So the following achievements could not be completed.

Siglo de Oro (Win the New World Scenario as Spain)
Tea and Crumpets for Everyone (Win the New World Scenario as England)
Macho Picchu (Win the New World Scenario as the Incas)
Huitzilopochtli's Arrow (Win the New World Scenario as the Aztecs)
League of Extraordinary Hoyanehs (Win the New World Scenario as the Iroquois)

2) Empires of the Smoky Skies. The savegame Option_SmokySkiesWin.Civ5Save for Empires of the Smoky Skies is not working for me. It is not possible to win the Scenario. When you load the game, you have 3 Titles. But when you click Next Turn, you lose one of the Titles, the one about the Wonders. Initially your count is 5 wonders, and then after the next turn, your count is 3.

Modern Major-General (Win the Empires of the Smoky Skies scenario) (added: The Massacrerer_Modern_Major-General.Civ5Save --> End the Turn)

3) The FeiLing_FoY-Explorer.Civ5Save seems not be working towards the natural wonders achievements. Loading it many times does not increase the counter in the achievements log (I know that I must exit the game for the log to update). Hence, the following achievement is not possible:

The Explorer (Discover 100 Natural Wonders) (added: anmattos_Natural-Wonders-Hunter.Civ5Save --> Select the Sattelites technology and you´ll discover 7 natural wonders. Load the game and repeat the process as much as necessary)

4) Yoink! The criteria for the following achievement has changed, and therefore the included savegame does not work anymore.

Yoink! (As Austria, acquire a City-State with 15 or more units through Diplomatic Marriage) (added: FeiLing_GK_Yoink-Austria.Civ5Save --> Go to the top left corner of the map and assimilate (annex or puppet) the city-state of Kathmandu through Diplomatic Marriage)

Best regards,
 
Updated original post to add the Kamikaze achievement by Andra Bullar.

Thanks!

Hello,

This is a list of achievements that are not included the original post, and that in my opinion the savegames could be added:

Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka (Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Ramesses II) (added: anmattos_Ramesses.Civ5Save --> End the Turn)
Arabian Knights (Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Harun al-Rashid) (Could you share your save game?)
Empire of the East (Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Ramkhamhaeng) (Could you share your save game?)
A Woman's Work (Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Wu Zetian) (Could you share your save game?)
Rising Sun (Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Oda) (Could you share your save game?)
Montezuma's Revenge… (Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Montezuma) (Could you share your save game?)
Consequently you achieve this:
Master of the Universe (Beat the game on any difficulty setting with each leader)

Lux Perpetua Luceat Eis (Fully Explore the Piety Policy Track) (added: anmattos_Piety.Civ5Save --> Select the last policy)
Master of the House (Fully Explore the Tradition Policy Track) (added: anmattos_Tradition.Civ5Save --> Select the last policy)
Money Doesn't Grow on Trees (Fully Explore the Commerce Policy Track) (added: anmattos_Commerce.Civ5Save --> Select the last policy)
Eighty-Eight Miles per Hour (Fully Explore the Rationalism Policy Track) (added: anmattos_Rationalism.Civ5Save --> Select the last policy)
Freedom Isn't Free (Fully Explore the Freedom Policy Track) (added: anmattos_Freedom.Civ5Save --> Select the last policy)
Consequently you achieve this:
Enlightened Ruler (Unlock all Social Policies, across any number of playthroughs)

Arab Trader (Trade a luxury resource to another Civ that you earned through a city with a Bazaar) (added: anmattos_Arab-Trader.Civ5Save --> Contact India and give Salt)
Gardens of Lake Texcoco (Build a Floating Garden in a city with a lake tile in its radius) (added: anmattos_Gardens-of-Lake-Texcoco.Civ5Save --> End the turn)
Riddle of the Sphinx (Rush a wonder as Egypt with a Great Engineer) (added: anmattos_Riddle-of-the-Sphinx.Civ5Save --> Use the GE to rush Wonder in the Capital)
Kamikaze Attack (Kill an enemy unit attacking with a Japanese unit with just 1 HP remaining) (added: AndraBullar_Kamikaze-Attack.Civ5Save --> Use the Samurai to attack the Pikeman)
All Roads Lead to Rome (Build a road with a Roman Legion) (added: anmattos_All-Roads-Lead-to-Rome.Civ5Save --> End the turn)
Sun Tzu's Art of War (As Wu Zetian, earn a Great General through battle)
Barbarian Warlord (As Bismarck, convert the Barbarians from 10 camps to your side)
Bolt and Arrow (Build Statue of Zeus and Temple of Artemis in the same city) (added: Barricade_Bolt_and_Arrow.Civ5Save --> End the turn)
Rest in Gold Pieces (Gain 1000 gold from expended Great People with the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus across any number of playthroughs) (added: anmattos_Rest-in-Gold-Pieces.Civ5Save --> Spend the 10 Gtreat People: 3 GP, 3GE, 1 GG, 1 GA, 2 GA)

The following achievements I don´t see how to include in a savegame:

The Wonder Years (Build all the Wonders, across any number of playthroughs)
Model of a Modern Major-General (Train all Units, across any number of playthroughs)

Those are easy to achieve alone, but could be listed in the OP:

Last Man Standing (Win any Multiplayer Match)
Experimenter (Play a game with a Mod)
Expansionist (Download a Mod)
Connoisseur (Rate a Mod) (achievement is bugged, as of this date)

Those are grinding achievements, that could be included in a savegame for some credit towards it. Some of them are already in savegames in the OP.

Land Baron (Purchase 1000 tiles, across any number of playthroughs)
Here Ends the Noble Savage (Raze 100 Barbarian camps, across any number of playthroughs)
The Appian Way (Build 1000 roads, across any number of playthroughs)
Forty-Niner (Build 1000 mines, across any number of playthroughs)
Merchant King (Trade 100 resources, across any number of playthroughs)
Paul Bunyan (Chop down 1000 forest tiles, across any number of playthroughs)
God Is Great (Construct 1000 Temples, across any number of playthroughs)

Best regards,
 
Hello,

In fact this achievement ia already covered by FeiLing's Save FeiLing_GK_IntrigueHakkaFamily.Civ5Save on post #3.

Thanks,

The Hakka one in that save doesn't unlock. As I stated earlier; in that save the Great General has already been stacked with the Hakka for at least one turn, and so it doesn't unlock.
 
Hello,

Strange, because it worked for me... Anyway, it's available now for people that get problems with the version in the OP. Maybe FeiLing may add your savegame in the OP, togheter with his own.

Do you have savegames with the missing "wins" with other civilizations?

Arabian Knights (Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Harun al-Rashid) (Could you share your save game?)
Empire of the East (Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Ramkhamhaeng) (Could you share your save game?)
A Woman's Work (Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Wu Zetian) (Could you share your save game?)
Rising Sun (Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Oda) (Could you share your save game?)
Montezuma's Revenge… (Beat the game on any difficulty setting as Montezuma) (Could you share your save game?)

Best regards,

Sorry, I won as those a long time ago (10+ months ago for the most recent of them) and don't have save files for them.

Do you still need then? I can get then ready if you need it (I'm pretty sure I have some of then saved and I can "create" the others in no time)
 
BTW, one of the achievements I have more problems with is the "God is Great" because I normally only build 3 to 5 cities in one game. So i went and changed the "Longest.Name.Ever" save (see page 1) and create this one who build 33 temples in one turn.

You can also go ahead and buy as many titles as you can (to unlock the "Land Baron" achievement)

Hello,

Yes, we still need the ones listed above. If you could provide them, I´ll post together with the others.

Thanks for the God is Great achievement save. The FeiLing_Achievement_Hunting.Civ5Save save in post #2 creates 21 temples each time.

Best regards,
