  • Europa Universalis IV
Hello,

I've had some trouble completing some achievements and I would like to know whether the achievement is broken or I am doing something wrong. I have the base game, with no DLC's.
  • The 3 achievements for finishing research on a tech branch. I completely research every single tech and was not able to get these achievements.
  • Prospector achievement: Collect all the resources in the game. Some kind of clarification on this one would be nice. Not sure what to do.
  • Look at my swagger: Find all treasures in the game. Some kind of clarification on this one would be nice.
  • The True Heir: Reach maximum influence. ???
 
I'm not aware of any such issues, but I will forward it to the producers to see what they have to say about it.

I thought I got this after I cleared ALL the blocks in one of the later games. Basically strip mined a whole level.
But someone told me they believe if you have one of each type of resource in a game you will get this. The later is a lot less effort so I would try that first.

Look at my swagger: Find all treasures in the game. Some kind of clarification on this one would be nice.
I honestly did not pay attention to most of my achievements when I got them, but I know when I finished the campaign I did have this. I wish I could be more specific but I thought a answer is better than none. Assuming you have not finished the campaign.

The True Heir: Reach maximum influence. ???
This is a known issue, and has been for over a year now.
Refer to my longer post below if you want boring details.

This is what I was told when contacting Paradox support in email regarding the broken achievements in November of 2013.

Johannes, Nov 29 14:43 (CET):
Unfortunately we won't be able to solve these issues since the developer doesn't exist any more, but I'll see what we can do.

Me, Nov 29 22:25 (CET):
What happened to Zeal? How do you know they do not exist? I couldn't find any information to indicate the company was dissolved or otherwise not in business so I was curious.

Johannes, Dec 06 15:59 (CET):
The unfortunately went out of business about a year ago, ... (clipped)
I'll pass on your information and hopefully the producers can do something with it to help improve the game for you. I can't promise anything but maybe, just maybe, someone will be able to help.




From my original email:

Regarding the problem I emailed about. It would seem the bug with the achievement (The True Heir - Reach maximum influence) is related to the game not reporting the quests completed on the Status Window after a game. This has apparently been an issue for the last year. Because of that, the achievement (The Biggest Beard - Collect all other Achievements) is also not obtainable. Perhaps since the Developers are gone Paradox's Dev team can maybe just remove the broken achievements?

People in the community suggest that to get all the influence your Status Report should reflect all the Kings Quest (not the main) need to be completed.

This is a quote from a Zeal Developer prior to the company going out of business.
The achievement might be badly worded, you only have to collect all the influence in the game in order to unlock the achievement.

Double check that you've really completed every king quest in the game ( 3 on each level)

And for me specifically when I finished 'Snoberg: The Infested Mountain' I did not get credit for 2 quests.
- Force to Reckon With -
- Hating Reinforcements- .

The in-game quest tracker ticks to show they were completed and the Quest Log reflects the same.
But afterwards on the Status Report I don't appear to get credit.

Here are some threads of others talking about it as well.

This first link shows screenshots also.

I don't know if it is related or matters.
But I opened all the campaign levels again to check the Status Report and noticed that the Main quest did not show as completed on most of them.


Main quest doesn't show on Status Report.
The Loremaster only Kings quest showing completed.

Snoberg: The Infested Mountain:
1. Force to Reckon With - Finished but not reporting to Status Report
2. Hating Reinforcements - Finished but not reporting to Status Report


Main quest doesn't show on Status Report.
But King's quest show checked as completed.
- Snoberg: The Tower of Magicus
- Helland: The Test Site
- Vindhav West: The Catacombs - Yellow Mage
- Vindhav West: The Laboratory
- Vindhav East: The Communication Center - Green mage
- Vindhav East: The Elven Rune
- Mittland North: The Mage Base - red mage
- Mittland South: The Elven Settlement
- Hemland: The Trial
- Hemland: The Backyard


Both Main & King's quest showed checked as completed as intended.
- Helland: The Northern Border 0
- Mittland North: The Northern Pass
- Mittland South: The Tunnel
