Awake and Angry achievement guide/tips?

[Mgoblue201]

The Communist China and warlord achievements do indeed have the same requirements of owning all Chinese cores. I am hoping for a hotfix soon because I do not want to fight the Allies in my own Communist China game (it should be as easy as changing the "own" requirement in the achievement file to merely requiring the player to control the province through occupation), but over the long term there needs to be a permanent solution for taking limited war aims without requiring a full capitulation from all major participants.

Anyway, if you haven't done so, I would recommend adding engineers and reconnaissance to your divisions. Support artillery is also good if you can manage it. Even as China I wouldn't go full quantity over quality. You want Japan's attacks to be as costly as possible.

Phew, managed to conquer all China (Shanxi will be integrated soon). Also saw an opportunity as the Germans approached Moscow to DOW Soviets. Turned out to be a good choice (even that I was almost annexed ). Funny thing though, even that I got a peace with Japan after I won them at mainland (they only had a tiny bit of Korea left when the decision popped) I cant see the green mark on the objective with the achievement... is it bugged or can it be that when I conquest rest of China cores the achievement will be completed? Would be a shame if this all was for nothing.

Any tips on where to go from here? I am at war with Japan (they declared a war on Shanxi 2 days after the previous war ended... kinda crazy, fought them off at Vietnam). I guess it would be good if I finish them off before taking on the Allies. The problem is that I should buy a navy to invade them.

I guess my best option would be to try to get into the Axis and kill the allies after Japan?

Unfortunately, that wasn't an option for me as Manchukuo declared independence half way through the war with Japan, so they joined the Axis, than the white peace triggered and magically Manhukuo was released and we had a truce so they got gobbled up by the SU so I declared war on Manchukuo, than joined the comintern thinking they'd give me my cores, nope, they released a puppeted Man, left and declared war again and ground the soviets to a standstill in the Urals when they declared war on Finland who were in the Allies and boom now I'm in the Allies and we defeat the SU and I puppet Eastern Germany who magically somehow gets released as an independent country WTF. So honestly after all that I now have to take down the Allies for 3 cities...yeah I'll just start a new game.

Edit: And after all of that my highest Field Marshall is level 6.

Same thing happened to me. I DID NOT get a green check mark by the “pushed Japan out of Manchuria and Korea and forced them to sue for peace.” Even though right after I pushed them out they sued for white peace.

Either a bug or something we’re missing.

With the current XP ratio the lvl 10 field marshal seems impossible. I conquered NA with one... not enough XP for one level from 4 to 5, although he already had progress despite inflicting over 13 million casualities. Totally plausible... not.

Also, the lvl 10 field marshal is literally impossible, as lvl 9 is the max you can get.

But, if the achievement actually means you need to have a skill of 10 (that is possible) that's equally horrible as it's a complete dice roll do you actually get a skill to 10 (+ again, glacial xp gain)

It's also horrible that you need double the current xp to level up, so it gets ridiculous real fast
That + slow xp gain in general = Gaining lvl's? What's that?

EDIT: And looking at the achievement code, the lvl 10 Field Marshall is actually get a skill to lvl 10, not have a lvl 10 field marshal

sun_tzu_reborn = {
    id = 57
    
    possible = {
        is_literally_china = yes
        is_ironman = yes
        difficulty > 1
        has_start_date < 1936.01.02
        has_any_custom_difficulty_setting = no
    }
    
    happened = {
        any_army_leader = {
            is_field_marshal = yes
            skill > 9
        }
    }
}

Feels like it should be worded better

Seems like the achievement is totally bugged and can't be completed, but it's fixed in the beta patch. Anyone know if I change to beta in my current campaign would it be possible that I still get the achievement? Or does it only change the achievement requirement to completed status when the Japan white peace event fires (not afterwards)?

Forgive my noobness as I’m not familiar with the leveling yet. What’s the difference between a lvl 10 FM and them having a skill of lvl 10? Where do I check the difference between the 2?

lvl 10 FM is impossible to get as lvl 9 is the max (Overall level of the leader)
Skills are Attack, (Crossed swords icon) Defense (shield icon) Tactics (knight icon) and Logistics (Jerry can icon)

In the picture I posted, the level of the leader is on the right side of the leader photo/picture and the skills are under his name.

Make a bug report then.
As someone who should've gotten it, you're in the best position to do so
(also, how the hell did you manage to do that?)

 

[aronnov]

How the heck did you grind enough to get that? Any tips?

1.5.1 is not a bug reporting thread... do it in the actual bug report forum section (register your game first to see it)

 

[kateshunt1234]

follow the focus tree,conquered the china and japan,then pick a fight with USSR at north(before the fight, build a forts wall for it),let the field marshal become the army group leader (with 5 armies) which you think can get lvl 10 skill.then just waste you manpower and time at the forts wall,never push the line,just wait the xp growing...

 

[Keioel]

I'm impressed in my meat grinder war with the Soviets I only hit rank 6's with my FM's

For the field marshall achievement, I wouldn't be surprised if it's better to level a general up and then promote them to a field marshall. Seems to me that general would get more experience vs field marshalls
