Chandragupta nuke achievment not triggering

[Chefofrats]

I wonder if anybody else experienced this. Playing as Chandragupta I launched a nuclear device from a missile silo improvement at an enemy city and yet the achievment “I thought we moved past this joke” did not trigger. I had already unwittingly won that game with a cultural victory several turns earlier, but that should not matter, should it?

I'm fairly certain you have to get the achievement before winning the game for it to count.

 

[Chefofrats]

That certainly is not true for many achievments - I know from experience you can get at least some achievments after winning the game in Civ 6. Would this particular achievment be an exception?

 

[Turrdy]

i once got the "Missed That Day in History Class" also after winning the game

 

[krokobone]

It was the same for me as well, I won a cultural victory and the achievement wouldn't trigger after that. I could only get it in another game before winning it.

 

[NukeAJS]

I got it after winning the game.

 

[Chefofrats]

Maybe the silo is the problem. I found a Reddit thread where people reported triggering the achievment from bombers and subs but not triggering from silos.

 

[Duuk]

... don't you have to be playing as Gandhi, not Chandy?

 

[Trengilly]

You have to drop the nuke from a bomber. Using silos doesn't count. Don't know about subs.

 

[Chefofrats]

Ah, that confirms my suspicion then. I guess it's a bug. After all, why would a silo nuke not trigger the achievment? A nuke is a nuke, at least from the poor victims' perspective.

 

[Disgustipated]

You could load up your game and build a bomber (and another nuke if necessary). I prefer bombers and subs for launching myself.

 

[Chefofrats]

I loaded the game, built a bomber, used its "Launch WMD" ability and the achievment was unlocked. Thank you everybody for your input

 

[roulev]

It works as well with the sub, that`s how I got it.

Every achievement that requires you launching WMD, you need a bomber, can't use silo, the 7 apocalyptic wonders achievement, Chandragupta achievement, the one that needs you to launch WMD on Nena continent with 9 observation balloon as well. I don't really know why.
