Developer Popular Post Village Posted August 18, 2023 Developer Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2023 Hey everyone, Village here with August new content proposal the first!! The Goal To make achievements more fun and meaningful! To enable and encourage achievement hunting, both for prestige and for the rewards associated, thereby driving activity into the game as players grind for various achievements. The Idea Redo the entire achievements system to have significantly more achievements, expose all the possible achievements, and even give rewards for some achievements (i.e. the $200,000,000 money looted achievement will give you $2,000,000 as a reward) In addition, the game will now have a new pages for showing a nation’s achievements, showing your achievements, and a leaderboard of earned achievements As well, this will come with new fun stats like the rarity Below I’ve linked a spreadsheet with all the achievements currently issued in-game (due to the nature of the current system, I have no way to pull up if there’s achievements that no one has received yet). The achievements highlighted in orange are special achievements that will not qualify for rewards and have been issued for things like donation awards, test server tournament rewards, bug reports, and helping the game. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Sns6he60Y1Jkj8_nVutCPrcmKDWszBCRf2c-Vyw0Ot8/edit#gid=0 We’re looking for feedback from the community on what new achievements to add, potential rewards for those achievements, potential rewards for existing achievements (I’ve penciled in a few ROUGH numbers for some achievements, not every one will have an associated reward), as well as any other feedback or ideas as to the proposed changes or other changes that could be made to the system. 🙂 Have a great day everyone! P.S. Given the results of the previous poll regarding city timer and updeclare ranges, we're currently planning to move ahead with a 2.5x modifier and city 20 pending Alex's approval. These changes can already be found on the test server if you'd like to play around with and break them. 10 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordy Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Why is the "Beloved" achievement present two times on the spreadhseet ? Also a small achievement idea : "Rick Rolled" (get rick rolled by having a nation/alliance anthem autoplay on their page) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union of Khulna Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I think you should receive more money for landing on mars than landing on the moon, but other than that it looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Tyrion Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Why are you trying to move to 2.5x change without addressing the other issues that will stem from it? Also, no change won the vote and of the people who voted for a change, most of them picked the lowest change option presented. You should do what you said and do another poll for 1.75x v 2x v 2.25x v 2.5x. You even said this in your response. Why is this being rushed and pushed through? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krampus Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Just now, Lord Tyrion said: no change won the vote To be clear, change won the vote, with the smallest change option being the most popular among them I.e, the vote was between no change and various degrees of change. Voting for any degree of change counts as a vote for change Edited August 18, 2023 by Krampus 3 Quote Inform Zigbir I have forgotten how to edit the signature field Please remind me how to do it post haste!

Shwin Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I think some achievements involving treasures could be cool. Like an achievement to hold/spawn a treasure, one for stealing a treasure, one for holding more than 1 treasure, and a rarer one for holding all 30 treasures at some point. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoopsie, all fixed up. Also neat idea for Rick Rolled! 2 hours ago, Union of Khulna said: I think you should receive more money for landing on mars than landing on the moon, but other than that it looks good! I'll take a look at that, I kinda mentally made a few example reward "tiers" and used the same "tier" for both achievements. 1 hour ago, Lysander said: I'm hoping this will open the gateway to do stuff, I had this exact post in mind when I designed this one! 1 hour ago, Lord Tyrion said: Why are you trying to move to 2.5x change without addressing the other issues that will stem from it?

Exactly what Krampus said, the result of the vote was for change, so (as I stated in the thread later on) we picked the change that was most popular. I also never said I would do another poll, I said it was an oversight to not include those options and that I'll rectify it for the next post. In any case, that's not the subject of this post. 1 hour ago, Shwin said: I think some achievements involving treasures could be cool.

Agreed, I'll be sure to add a bunch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Patrick Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 These are pretty good ideas for the most part. Would we be able to keep the achievements we already have as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

im317 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 you should either take the part about the 2.5x out of this post or add in that there will be a change but that the exact amount has not been decided yet. if you have already decided on 2.5x then that is very much a subject of this post 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why would you not correct an oversight? And it is the subject of this post since you announced your intentions in this post. 2x is looking way more popular than 2.5x, so unless there are other agendas to rush this through, again, why are you rushing such a drastic change? This trying to be done fast or done right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLiberty07 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Since there's already achievements for getting the extreme left and extreme right economic policy ratings, I think it would be cool if you could get achievements for getting the fascist and anarchist social policy ratings. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no one's rushing a drastic change, it got put in a poll and took me a literal five minutes to implement so I took the five minutes and implemented it.

Felandos Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Two achievements I missed from the start: Login for a month consecutively / Reward $20,000,000 Login for a year consecutively / Reward $200,000,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordy Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) I've got some random ideas : "Scuttler" (decommission all your ships while at war) "Rush hour" (have 30 people visit your nation page in 24 hours) "Pacifist" (have no military units for 1 week) "USSR" (have at least 10 nukes in a nation with communist policies) "Time to rebuild" (have lost 20,000 infrastructure in total) "Self-suficient" (be under blockade for 1 week without suffering from starvation or running out of power) "Migrant" (change continent) "It's fine" (lose 8 wars simultaneously) Edit : "Violence breeds violence" (declare a war against someone you were already at war with two times before) "Para bellum" (be fully militarised) Edited August 19, 2023 by Lordygon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Is there an achievement for being engaged in 10 wars simultaneously? If not that would be a cool addition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmanuel Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Seems good but I have a suggestion; football. I know it's very hard and difficult to implement it, but football is just better than baseball (for most people like me anyway). Idea's same system as the Orbis baseball league system, just that it's football. Oh and I think more money should be given for the achievements, because $10,000,000 for 3,000 days old nation/50 cities/Moon landing doesn't exactly seem too much.

This would belong in it's own post in the game suggestions forum, if you're serious about wanting it then put it there and it can get properly tracked, although as much as I'd love to add more sports it's not a priority right now so it likely won't get done for ages. 16 hours ago, Emmanuel said: Oh and I think more money should be given for the achievements, because $10,000,000 for 3,000 days old nation/50 cities/Moon landing doesn't exactly seem too much. It's not meant to be an incredible game changer, and the numbers are rough in any case. We'll look at higher numbers for sure when this gets more final. Also, general PSA, I'm reading every post just not necessarily responding to specific suggestions with a comment, I am however reacting to stuff though so I'm still here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordy Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) "Hannibal ad portas" or "Ad portas" (be attacked by a player who has the "Hannibal" achievement) "Rule Brittania" (have 942 ships and be located in Europe) "It's just a scratch" (lose 10 wars consecutively) "Sun Tzu" or "Karma" (win a defensive war) "Dog person" or "Dog lover" (basically the same as the cat achievement but for dogs) "Touch grass" (get to city 30 or play for 2 years) "What is grass ?" (get to city 40 or play for 3 years) "Couped" (change nation leader) "Successful dictator" (be an alliance leader for 1 year consecutively) Edited August 20, 2023 by Lordygon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBaku Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. I think there should be some significant rewards for some more difficult achievements. From a technical perspective award money should probably be held in escrow u til all wars finished. But it would be cool for someone to win a war from cash they gained from an achievement. also, I will add this - I was in 10 wars and there’s no ape achievement smh. I demand the 10 wars achievement be ape-themed, preferably a gorilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it'd be in escrow for sure on victory, and I forgot a 10 wars achievement when I added APE but it's gonna come with this stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
