Achievement unlocked for no reason

[bstenger]

Sorry, didn't think to grab an autosave before it got overwritten, so I'm no help in reproducing this but I did want to go ahead and post to see if anyone else had seen this issue.

I was playing as Nobunaga and received Suleiman's special achievement, Barbary Pirate. I obviously wasn't using Suleiman's power of converting barbarian ships, but I had been killing a lot of them and the achievement popped up right after I had sunk yet another.

Spoiler :

I'm playing as Russia. I have never played as the Ottomans. So... yeah. The AI somehow gave me an achievement. Thanks, Suleiman, now I'll probably never play as your civ.

Patch is the newest one, 1.0.0.20.

Hi,

While I was happily attacking a city state* as Napoleon, I got the pop up message from Steam that received the Barbary Pirate Achievement!

Now, there is Suleiman AI in the game, however if he managed to pull the achievement off, why I got the bonus?

Does anyone knows how to report it too to Steam/Firaxis?



*Trying to get Iron from a city state on Deity is pretty tough when it has steel units and you fight with spearmen and archers ONLY!

Savegame anyone?

 

[Apoll]

I can provide the save game, however I don't have a place sto store it for downloading.

Any assistance on that will be welcome

You can directly upload savegames to civfanatics.
When you click on "post reply" at the left bottom corner, you'll get to the advanced answering screen (no idea if you are maybe using the quick reply function), and there at the bottom you can find a button "manage attachements", which allows you to upload stuff to CFC.

 

[Apoll]

Thank you.

Here is the savegame mentioned

I have experienced this too. I am playing my first game ever of Civ 5 and I just got the "Seriously??" achievement. This is supposed to be awarded when AI civs beat you to a wonder 10 times.

I see in my list I have also gotten the Marco Polo achievement as well. This is for exploring 1000 tiles.

 

[MadmanAtW]

A note about the "Seriously??" achievement- apparently you don't have to have been trying for the wonder. So it's actually "the AI builds 10 wonders." (If that's not what it's supposed to be, that's a bug.)

 

[Allston]

Your explanation makes sense. My impression was that the "Seriously" achievement was supposed to be losing out to the SAME wonder 10 times (spread over multiple games).

 

[Ravenal]

So, in my last game I was playing a duel against the Ottomans ... late in the game the "convert 10 barbarian naval units" achievement made a "ding" on my screen.

"yay"?

 

[Valdyr]

Lots of people have had this bug, myself included. The achievement unlocks when the Ottomans convert 10 barbarian ships, period...doesn't have to be YOUR Ottomans. Therein lies the bug.

Searched the forum, but I didn't find anything about this.

I recently unlocked the "Barbary Pirate" achivement, which states that you have to accumulate a navy with 10 Barbarian naval units, playing as Suleiman. That's all nice and dandy, except that I unlocked it when playing as Napoleon, during the first game ran into Suleiman....

You should probably post this on the Steam forums, since that is who creates these "achievements".

 

[dubrown]

Actually, it's a bug with CiV and not Steam itself since CiV needs to report these achievements to Steam in some way.

I've achieved "Barbary Pirate" as well without playing a single game as Suleiman so far, but I've had him as an AI in two games so far, so it seems this achievement is unlocked even if it's the AI that does it.

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



Playing as England, I unlocked this achievement early on.

We have a thread of achievements not unlocking when they're supposed to, but has anyone had the opposite problem? I just earned "I can has nukes?" and I hadn't even researched atomic theory, much less done any of the other steps to acquire and then use a nuke. All that happened that turn was that I was beaten to the Christ the Redeemer statue, so maybe I mentally dropped a nuke on that player so hard that the game noticed? >.> But seriously, anyone else have an achievement unlock for absolutely no reason?

 

[ChandlerB]

Achievements unlock when the AI completes them as well. I completed the B-17 one before I ever tried the Americans. I also got the Has Nukes one yesterday (post patch) when I was at least an era behind on techs.

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

I see, that could explain my issue, B-17 got unlocked, but I could understand it since I played it with a TEAM game. But normally I play on Chieftain (but i did unlcok Dierty woohoo go expolits)

I won a game with Darius and had a bazillion golden ages.

I went to look at my new achievements.

Somehow I nuked someone (which I hadn't in that game) and got it on Dec 19.

Somehow I built my 1000th temple. I'm not sure I've built 2 temples...but whatever.

No win from Darius, no 5 golden ages.

Index problems in the achievement list post patch maybe?
