Hi!



I've been having problems getting my Steam achievements for a while now. There are three left that just won't pop, seemingly regardless of what I do.



First is the "Who, me?" achievement, and it's the one I've spent most time on by far. I've tried attacking the AI when in peace, when in alliance, after first having a peacetreaty and then alliance. I've tried attacking them allied as envious and allied as blood brothers, tried attacking armies without heroes, armies with heroes, cities without heroes and cities with heroes. I've tried killing a group with auto battles, and I've tried killing them with manual battles. I've tried attacking the AI in peacetime on my lands, on neutral lands and in their lands. I've tried attacking allies on my lands, on neutral lands and in their lands, and I've tried attacking them in their lands FROM my lands. I honestly don't know what else I can try at this point, the achievement just won't clear.



The second achievement that won't pop is "Know thy enemy", after having cleared all the quests with all factions (except my custom factions). I did not, however, have the quest victory condition, so maybe that's why? I did the entire questline and then the following quest line, did an extra turn for good measure, then quit the game and started a new one with another faction.



Thirdly, the 10.000 turn achievement won't pop either. I don't know where to look up the exact number of turns played, but I'm certain I've long since passed it. I got the 1.000 turns played achievement in late june and have since played well over 150 more hours. I've done all the expansions and all other achievements, spending well over 3.000 turns (15 games at an average 200 turn length) trying to get the "Who, me?" achievement alone. Add to that atleast 2.500 turns (10 games at an average 250 turns length) for the "know thy enemy" achievement and several dozen games doing all the other achievements, and I'm positive I've played almost 20.000 turns by now.



Is there any way to solve this so I can get my achievements? I'll attach a savegame where I should be able to get "know thy enemy" and perhaps you can notice something I've missed. Thanks!



Best wishes,

Kreegath

As Steph' mentioned in your other thread, having mods in your game will disable achievement progression.

I understand that, but the thing is I've never had any mods installed at any point. I've only ever played with and without the official DLC. I've even tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling it, but to no avail.

For the first one, did you make sure you used Privateers? Sounds silly, but...

Yeah, and I've made sure to have the privateer toggle activated. I've tried a multitude of different ways of attacking with my privateers too:

I've tried waiting a turn before making them privateers, then attacking, I've tried attacking right away. I've tried attacking an AI who's allied and envious, then allied and blood brother, an AI that's in peace treaty and envious, then peace treaty and blood brothers. I've attacked an ally and killed his unit, attacked and won without killing him, killed his unit with one of his heroes in it, attacked it without killing it with his hero in it. I've attacked him and fled, attacked and auto battled, attacked and manually battled. I've attacked his town and took it, attacked his town and fled. I've attacked him in his territory, attacked him in his territory FROM my territory, attacked him in neutral grounds, in my territory, in my territory FROM his territory.



I've literally spent thousands of ingame turns trying to get this one achievement.



I can't be certain, but I'd say I've played far longer than 15.000 turns by now, which is why I'm afraid the "10.000 turns played" achievement isn't working either. Is there any way I can find out how many turns I've played?

Damn, sounds like you really went the exhaustive route! We'll look into this, thank you for your save file. This might take a pretty long time to investigate, however.

Is there any way I could get the achievements manually unlocked for my Steam account? I've literally spent 10k turns in chunks of 500-turn games (doing nothing but spam end turn) to get the achievement, beyond the 10.000's of turns of playing "seriously". The savegame I provided should show the privateer achievement being unlocked that same turn, and I can provide you with dozens of the 500-turn savegames should you need them. Please help me get them cleared!

I understand your disappointment, however, there is no way to manually unlock achievements.
