Model of a Modern Major-General achievement

[Wuddel]

Hey forum,

is there any way to get like a list of units I still need to build? Is this still bugged. I sunk hundreds of hours into Civ5 already and did not get it.

Don't know if it's bugged. The achievements that require you to do X number of something
(Build 1000 roads, Build all units, etc) seem to lack even something as simple as a progress bar.

If I was going for that achievement I'd start a spreadsheet with every one of the units and then check them off as I build them. That definitely means UUs and, for all I know, Great People. Getting this achievement may have become more work because you might need to build the UUs and GPs in G&K. For all I know, any units that are unique to scenarios (The Smoky Skies scenario comes to mind) may have to be built as well.

Hopefully, someone who has been awarded this achievement will chime in with some actual detail.

Wow... all you need to do is to enable achievement logging (debug logging, I dno't know) it will list the times you build certain units. Any unit with 0 are units not built.

Thought I'd resurrect this one instead of starting yet another one...

I've been checking my debug-log, and discovered - to my great consternation - that
A: Upgrading a unit doesn't count as having built the new unit.
B: Civ-unique units ARE required. ALL OF THEM. (Well, not for DLC civs, but still.)

But one question remains: For it to count, do you need to actually BUILD the unit in question, or does it still work if you just buy it outright? Does anyone know? I suppose I could try to find out empirically, but it's probably easier to just ask...

Buying works.
Note that the text file only update the next time you start the game. Not right on the spot and neither when you just shut down the game.

Buying unit counts.

Its not that hard once you know them. Just do a quick advanced start on a duel map to get those. I have won with all leaders in proper games but did not had this achievement.

The numbers of your units have already built to achieve the achievment are in:

...\Sid Meier's Civilization5\logs\achievements_debug

It's still bugged btw. Lancer will always say 0. Along with some UU and spaceship parts.

It is not bugged. Many people have it, including me.

Regarding "Build all Wonders", I know this is slightly off topic, but for that, you need to build NATIONAL wonders as well.
