Question: Why didnt i receive my gems/gold???

Answer: you did, you just didnt get any notice of it. items were just auto added.
you would have gotten them when the first phase kicked in 2 weeks ago

see this thread for more info: forum.thesettlersonline.net/threads/15894-Official-Patch-Notes?p=236368#post236368

this has been very confusing for many people.

So what is the goal of the achievements? What is the payoff for the player? Will players really be interested in trying to complete these achievements? Was there ever a survey for this? As pointed out there are many people that want other aspects of the game improved, but those (from the players) have gone unfulfilled. Instead we receive what the developers want. Reminds me of the mentality of America car manufactures in the 1960s. We all recognize that no one forces us to play; however, it would be nice for the production management staff to poll players and then seriously work on those issues, or at the very least address them full and truthfully.

I feel some of these achievements are really bad. Just Toxic ways to do adventures.

This is not cool at all.

Thanks for another set of Quests of achievement that I have no desire to do.

Once again you slight the long time players by making them do again things they did long ago.

Did BB sell the company to a group of shady characters working out of a back room in Estonia?

Also i notice the new achives cant be dont with MMA generals.... Just spent a lot of gems and eggs on them just so i can leave them home?

I just finished Dark priests in under 2 hours using only recruits, elites and cavalry while losing only recruits ... That should have completed all 4 achievements however it didn't complete "Close-up Blessings" (Complete The Dark Priests without using any ranged units.) Also on the compare achievements under [General]>[Home Island] the person you are comparing to has an extra achievement that is not shown worth 100 points. Again under [Economy]>[Buildings] there is a hidden achievement that is apparently worth 130 points. Under [Military]>[Generals] there seems to be 2 hidden achievements that are worth 180 points together.

I forgot to add that I was using my MMA generals, hope this helps getting things sorted.
