[GS] Achievements just went up on Steam.

[Sagax]

And yea, Take on Me is from A-ha, a Norwegian band. Big, big mistake that will upset the Swedes royally.

Considering Norway and Sweden have a rivalry comparable to France and UK - this can actually trigger a lot of people

Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss
As Eleanor, gain a city to loyalty that was owned by a different civilization with Eleanor as its leader

confirms you can have both Eleanors in the same game, in case people were still wondering.

Or it requires you to turn off the Same Leader setting. Same as the Selfie achievement.

 

[criZp]

So many civ achievements read like a to-do list... Boring.

Good point.

"Rock God
Have no cities following your religion then convert a city to your religion using a Rock Band unit"

Wait, how is that possible?

I think this was explained in a livestream last year, but the Rock Band can get a (randomly available) promotion whereby it converts a city to your founded religion on a successful performance.

As the Rock Band is not a religious unit it doesn't have a religion assigned to it, so it just converts the city to your founded religion. This is in contrast to Apostles or Missionaries, whose religion is decided by the majority religion of the city in which they are purchased.

So it is possible for your religion to be eradicated from the world, and then reborn using a Rock Band. It is, I believe, the only way to bring it back.

14 of them are for the scenarios it looks like which does mean ~the same number of R&F for non-scenario acheivements

 

[Ondolindë]

A-Ha, not ABBA. The guys who actually did "Take On Me".

My bad. I better stick to one thing right now: work.

Old Norse gods coming back by heavy metal rock!

This topic reminds me of when DLC was released pre-R&F and when unidentified achievements popped up on Steam we knew more DLC was going to be released soon.

I hope it requires you to turn off the Same Leader setting. If "multi-Eleanor" is on by default and not able to be disabled I'll be bummed. Schizophrenic Eleanor the Younger vs Eleanor the Elder will annoy me.

I’ll have to seriously call them Freleanor and Engleanor if they can appear in the same game by default...

They can find Swedish volcanoes that have been extinguished for 200 million years but not make a modern pop-reference.

 

[Disgustipated]

Was that a tongue-in-cheek Civ5 reference?

Can someone explain the Civ5 reference? I'm not familiar with it.

So many civ achievements read like a to-do list... Boring.

None of them look particularly challenging except for the rng ones (which just require rng).

 

[sonicmyst]

And I thought Trans Siberian Railway achievement will have a version 2.0 to utilize railroads.

 

[Sagax]

Can someone explain the Civ5 reference? I'm not familiar with it.

All wonders in Civ5 are built in the City Center, and their models spread from it. So, in a coastal city it was not uncommon to have some wonder models appear in the sea - Stonehenge being a prime example.

 

[DemonMaster]

Or they are referencing A-ha - Take On Me, but they are a Norwegian group.

Well, this time they didn't use the wrong portrait as a model for the leader. I can live with an achievement mistake. It is embarrassing though. I wonder if they have the time to fix it or if it is set in stone?

 

[6uho Koe]

I was hoping for a reference to China's Grand Canal for achievement like they did with trans Siberian railway.

 

[Morningcalm]

And the Walls Kept Tumbling Down is a reference to this song titled "Pompeii" (which was the city famously buried by Vesuvius' eruption):

 

[ButtBillionaire]

Shield of Christianity
As Hungary, have Christianity as your dominant religion and defeat a unit who's Civilization's dominant religion is not Christianity

...which Christianity? Both?

 

[Mudkip1001]

Seahenge
Have Stonehenge become submerged due to Coastal Flooding

Does this mean Wonders can be destroyed by Coastal Flooding, I thought I heard Ed Beech say that they couldn't be... (I hope they can )
