Achievements Thread

[thereallygoodman]

So all good game usually have an achievement list with silly names and silly goals, so why not imagine what a couple in game would be? A couple of us from Drachinifel's Discord got a list running, and here are a few samples I found more interesting.

docs.google.com/document/d/1C-cjb30Auf0SlWQ9vjnQuifslza2AryfLavUaq762Uw/edit?usp=sharing

Luck Sapper: In a class of 3 capital ships or greater, have all but one sink in combat and scrap the last survivor
But You Have Heard of Me?: Have a ship of at least 3 battle stars escape an interception
That's a Paddlin': Torpedo 3 or more BB or BC in a single engagement
Did I Hear Oil?: As the USA, take over an oil producing territory during war or as a war prize
The Rain in Spain: As Spain, occupy the territory of Maine
Jeune Ecole: As France, beat a nation while having less than half the tonnage of capital ships and armored cruisers, but having at least twice the tonnage of Destroyers and light cruisers

Any more achievements for this game?

Some comments:

- Quadmaster: I like the idea, but waiting until at least 1914 to lay down your first dreadnought doesn't seem like it'd be possible. Would we let players get it via the 1920 start? Alternatively, maybe make it so you get the achievement providing you never build a BB/BC with bigger than 12-inch guns without quad turrets (so essentially the achievement would be for no super-dreadnoughts without quad turrets).
- A Gin Court: It doesn't need to say "at least," because 7 is the most centreline turrets you can have. Incidentally, if I'm going to make a turret farm I prefer six centrelines with cross-deck wing turrets in order to avoid the RoF penalty the 7th centreline turret gives you, so I'd probably just build another one of those for Turret Syndrome (already built some in previous campaigns).
- Overgunned, Not Overpowered: Does this mean you have no BBs/BCs in that particular battle, or in your entire fleet?
- Broadsider: Heh. An achievement for building a badnought. I like it.
- No Land For Old: I always scrap my legacy shore batteries anyway. :V
- The Mighty Hood would be really easy to get in the vanilla game because the AI is essentially hard-capped on how big its ships can be. Might be tougher with dizzy's AI ship design mod installed
- Dreadnought Have Not and We Don't Need No Stinkin' Ships: Again, I just don't see how either of these achievements would even be possible.
- By the Skin of My Teeth and Infamous: Don't you always get removed immediately if you hit 10 prestige?
- Speedster wouldn't even require you to actually play the campaign. I could just build one destroyer, start the campaign, and immediately quit out.
- Victor: This achievement could be renamed "Submarine Cheese".
- Rich: What even happens if you go deep into debt? Does your prestige just keep tanking? If so this one might be possible...
- Rawalpindi: Since the game has a bad habit of spawning in ships that don't actually exist, this one might not be possible.
- Rule The Waves: Rawalpindi and Victor are mutually incompatible.

RE- Quadmaster: Its not an achievement meant to be easily achievable.
RE- A Gin Court: Well, I have just now found out that I cannot place 8 turrets with 2x13in guns on my 90 000 ton monster... Seems like a unnecessary rule.
RE- Overgunned, not Overpowered: In particular battle.
RE- Broadsider: Yes, that is precisely the point of this achievement.
RE- No land for old: I almost never scrap my legacy batteries, since their maintenance cost almost the sime money as maintaining 3 or 4 DDs.

No idea; maybe the objective requires you spend a huge amount of money at once, go below -1,000,000 and then immediately lose? Alternatively, you could just change the amount to be above the minimum, but low enough to be an achievement?

Seems to me that the first of these comments solves the other; if Rawalpindi is impossible, remove it, if not, exclude it from the Rule The Waves achievement.

Dreadnought Have Not would absolutely be possible; just use pre-dreads the entire game. It's been done before, many times. I'm pretty sure We Don't Need No Stinkin' Ships would also be possible; obviously, you'd lose a lot of warscore and prestige, but it's only for 12 months, so you could probably recover. The only question would be whether it would be compatible with Victor, and I think it would if you got really lucky (and let's face it, a lot of these other achievements would take a lot of luck, too).

I assumed the limit was 0; if it is ten, just put the limit for Infamous to 11 (or 1 higher than whatever the limit actually is).


Also, while I'm here, I just came up with another one:
Soggy Bottom: Scrap all legacy shore batteries, and never build any shore batteries, airship bases, or airbases.

Incidentally, whenever I suggest another achievement, just assume it's included in the requirements for Rule The Waves, unless it's mutually exclusive with an existing one.

Misnomer: Lose a ship in a way that completely contradicts its name, ie HMS Invincible getting blown up, or HMS Agile getting rammed
Ironic: Lose a ship in a way that perfectly matches its name, ie HMS Inflammable lost to fires raging out of control, or the USS Superfluous getting scrapped

[cv10]

Removed: achievement for Japan losing a surprise attack was already suggested
