Are achievements fixed with the Forbidden Worlds DLC ?

from Sins Forums

Hi,

I decided to try to get all the achievements for sins as I had some time ahead of me, but it seems some of them are broken and cannot be accessed by following their description.

For instance :

"Destroy 20 planets in one single game", I thought it was related to the vasari sttc power (I had already bombed countless planets on previous games with huge maps before so to me it was something different). If yes, then it probably does not work as I received the achievement at a moment I was simply conquering a planet and I had stripped only 2 or 3 before.

On the other hand, I am trying to get the one with the Advent where you need to search all techs from the harmony tree and none from hostility. As I had doubts, I decided to only research harmony and none of all other tres except fleet supply. When I unlocked the last tech, the award was not granted. I also made sure that the IA was still alive when I did it even if I am not sure it matters (I know one achievement has not been granted to me before as I wiped out all IAs then did the job peacefully so I thought it was necessary no one already won the game when meeting the conditions).

In some older posts, it is said that this achievement and some others (like the 1000 pirates one) are broken as 0% of players had it. But some players do have it now so am I doing it wrong ?

Thanks for your answers

the destroy 20 planets seem to work just fine, i got it by simply conquering planets

and you need to research all harmony techs, and then win the game. atleast i think...didnt get those medals yet because i never tried to get em yet...maybe i should...

Thanks for your replies.

About the harmony tech, I am surprized you have to win the game afterwards (I didn't have to when I got the same one for the Vasari). But I'll give a try tonight, I must have a save with most of the tree ready.

Any clue if the "kill 1000 pirate ships" one is working fine ? Can I do it by killing my opponets first, build defense and look at the pirates crash against them ? I have a doubt whether any achievement can be unlocked after someone actually won the game.

When was Space Ponies added? Not the achievement, the planet exploration thing.

Space ponies has been in for a long time, it's just it couldn't spawn in a map normally, you had to put it in a custom map yourself if I remember correctly (or something like that). Either I encountered a glitch or it actually spawns in random maps now, since I got it in a random map.

No it will spawn normally. I always would get one immediately after a fresh install. Cracks me up that others never seem to get it.

Thanks all.
I wondered because I've been playing Sins since the original version and I didn't find them until this year. Wondered what they was about for a long time. :)

I also got it in a random map. Gave me quite a start when I finally got them. :)

I got space ponies back in sins 1.02 by playing a large (over 100 planet) custom map and capturing the planet and fully upgrading/exploring, then move to the next, rinse and repeat.........

found it did not DO anything, so have not paid any attention to it since

The only achievement i don't have is to the complete 30 missions one. I know this used to be bugged. Is it working yet?

I've tried at least a hundred times to get it but the AI has never offered me 30 misisons. Can't complete 30 misisons if they aren't offered.

How do i get the AI to offer missions so i get this final achievement?

I've tried every map size, number of allies and foes, sending envoys, offering missions, etc... and no matter what i do they never offer me more then a few missions.
