Ships Don't Lie - Achievement not firing?

[Akiracee]

I started as Columbia, conquered Panama, Venezuela, and Peru, then I built 10 carriers and 10 battleships, but the achievement didn't fire.

Is it because I am still Fascist? Ie: My tag is Bolivar Empire, not Gran Columbia (democractic)?

I am not sure, but I remember very faintly that you need over 10 BBs and CVs, meaning 11 each not 10. Sadly the description lies.

It says: "As Columbia, form Gran Colombia and have 10 Carriers and 10 Battleships."

Did you check to see if you are eligible for the achievement (the gold trophy icon next to the WT burning globe icon)...? If it is showing up in your list of available achievements, but it hasn't fired yet, it may be a bug. If it shows that you aren't eligible for it (it has a red X through it) you may have a mod running that you forgot to turn off. I run a lot of mods myself, and whenever I start achievement farming, I always overlook one or two when I start turning them off. I did this achievement myself on 1.8 as fascist Colombia, so I don't think the type of government you are matters to the achievement; just that you hold the territory and have the boats.

Just checked the achivement code, it asks for more than 9, so 10 should be enough. You just need to have formed Gran Columbia and be eglible for achievments in general..

my_ships_dont_lie = {
    id = 71
    
    possible = {
        tag = COL
        is_ironman = yes
        difficulty > 1
        has_start_date < 1936.01.02
        has_any_custom_difficulty_setting = no
        game_rules_allow_achievements = yes
    }
    
    happened = {
        custom_trigger_tooltip = {
            tooltip = has_taken_decision_to_form_gran_columbia
            has_global_flag = form_gran_colombia_flag
        }
        has_navy_size = { unit = battleship size > 9 }
        has_navy_size = { unit = carrier size > 9 }
    }
}

Thanks. Maybe a bug? I actually completed another achievement this run too.

I screenshot-ed the in-game achievement list...anyone see why this would be unavailable?

If you got an achievement this run that means you are eligible to get achievements, so it's not a case of forgetting to turn a mod off. So there has to be another reason that it isn't allowing you to get the achievement. The red X means you are ineligible to get that one. Typically, that red X appears on achievements that you can't get because you are the wrong country (you aren't eligible for Hail to the Qing because you aren't playing as Manchukuo, for example). Since all the requirements are green, and you still have no achievement, I think this qualifies as a bug.

Thanks. I'll post it as a bug report.

I did go back into the game and converted to democracy, just in case. That didn't work.

So I started a new game and tried for the achievement again. This time with success. I didn't do anything differently, so I'm not sure what could have gone wrong the first time.
