Achievements and books

Not sure where to post this, so I put it under the general discussion, but there some problems with the achievement system. For now I would just note that it says I have produced 0 codexes, this despite the fact that I already have fully skilled up geologists and scouts. I can understand that BB does not have full audit records of everything that was done and does not reflect this on the achievement system, but not correctly showing how many codexes were produced this is going to be punishing for those that have already hit the 5 manuscripts 3 tomes per codex cost. I can understand how they might not able to calculate manuscripts produced because some could have come from adventures, but for those like me that have already produced more than 20 now have to produce 20 more, that will take nearly a year to produce with the max costs.

Looks like they only started counting stats since last week or so when they implemented the tease but not the button...looking at a couple things, like manuscripts etc, would add up to just about that timeframe.
At least there is no reward attached to it so we actually might care.

great so i'm going to have to do all these things agian? and i have all depos that are on the island working and i'm still missing one. if only the "lucky find" would work and i caould find anothher depo. awesome job devs this is just what the game needed more broke junk.

I think that is the most frustrating part is the missing deposit. I realize it probably is the hidden one but that seems kind of crappy. Seems if it is required here that it is not special for people who upgraded to find it.

There are two possible 'extra' deposits that can be discovered with explorers using skills from books. Are they perhaps counting them in the discover all deposits achievement? ( I haven't counted so, I don't actually know .. just a thought )

Iirc there is a total of 54 stone/marble/iron/coal/gold deposits to be had, so that achievement wants GFM to ragequit now hehe

Ok i am not complaining but i think things need to be clearer.

For instance. On Witch of the Swamp section it says that you can not use soldiers. However if you dont use soldiers and you do use an mma it does not count. In reality what it means is that all kills have to be done with only recruits, bowmen, militia, cavalry, longbow, crossbow, elites, cannon and regular gens. Soldiers and MMA gen is not on that list.

Similarly on Island of the Pirates when you are supposed to only use recruits using an mma will not let you finish that section as well.

Thanks for the typical muddy wording on the Achievements System, BB!

Fishfood and Musk Deer deposits ONLY count when produced by the PH. NOT the RPH

In a way saying no soldiers what they mean is use recruits, bowmen, militia, cavalry, longbow, crossbow, elites, cannon and if anything else gets a kill it doesnt count. That is different to me than using a mma gen and no soldiers.

It says I have played for 15 days. O.o among other things.

Does the word boondoggle mean anything to you.

I was just about to start Witch of the Swamp. And use my MMA.

if you open the achievement all the way and mouse over it shows the list but with no generals mentioned at all
did you possibly do a block with soldiers?

Yes i dont do any blocks there were no soldiers on any gen on the island at all. Others have seen the same thing.

Perhaps it was added and you missed it?

I learned something when trying to beat the 2 hour mark. It takes my general 9 minutes to walk across the island. I'll try this again at some point, but I won't be rushing back at it soon.

multiple gens, simultaneous attacks makes the advs go a lot faster.

Ok I submitted a report and got this back

The devs are aware of a know issue, preventing adventure achievements from completing. they are investigating the situation at the moment. it appears that if you used an MMA general to complete the adventure and the MMA gen got kills, then the achievement will not trigger. Thank you for your patience while the devs work to fix this situation

So we cant use the MMA wish I knew this before

thanks for the info arti :)

I get people may not read the forum but 12 hours before your post artillerist i had already posted the same issue. Your choice whether you choose to believe me. However it is good to know the devs are aware of it.

some of these i understand, but the bookbinder TRACKS what has been completed, as well as all my explorers CLEARLY have the skills needed for some of these achievements. very pissed off none of them are getting counted.

can they at least count the explorers we already have invested books in
