Dev's Diary: Achievements System
Developer's Diary: More information about upcoming feature - Achievements System
Dear Settlers,
In today's Developer's Diary, we'll learn more about an upcoming new feature: Achievements System. Full activation of the Achievements System (interface) is planned for May 22, 2014. It will enrich the game with new challenges and some interface adjustments.
The calculation of some achievements (e.g. "Log in every day for an entire week" or "Complete 5 adventures against pirates")
began after maintenance on May 5th, 2014. Players can check their current progress
in the Achievements System interface activated during maintenance on May 22nd, 2014.
Achievements to unlock
There will be 6 main categories of achievements:- General
- Economy
- Military
- Skills
- Social
- Adventure
Each main category will consist of multiple sub-categories with over 200 total achievements available.
Most of the achievements will provide only achievement points for completion, but some will also grant rewards (e.g. Gems).
Adjustments of the interface
An additional field will be added below your avatar: It will show your current amount of Achievement points.
A special option called "Compare Achievements" will be added to the context menu (available after clicking on a friend's icon).
Unlocked achievements will be indicated with a special message displayed next to your avatar.
Ability to compare achievements
After the corresponding option is selected from the context menu (after clicking on a friend's icon),
an achievement comparison will show up. What does the comparison look like? Here is an example:
How to open the interface of Achievements System?
It's easy! Just click on the field with your current amount of Achievements points:
