I'm sure they'll just make Royal Palace into a building you can only build in your capital or something like that.

I could see that. Might need to be rebalanced since of the building limit.

They haven't announced how the changes will affect special buildings

They did mention manufactories would not be influenced by the new system. So ergo, special buildings most likely won't suffer either?

They are affected. Notice the lack of manufactory button.

They just take up a building slot now.

Also the Royal Palace is a unique building, not a special building. And unique buildings are confirmed gone.

Achievements are so important, cant play a game without it right? Tbh I think achievements was one of the most stupid thing to add in all kind of games, whats the point.

Because they give you clear goals and challenges, and sometimes make you play the game in an unorthodox way.

It already is.

I have learned that there's a large number of people that *love* achievements (some people literally buy games just to get more achievements.... go figure. I find this is more tied to Xbox Gamerscore type stuff than just achievements though).

I typically don't care about achievements, but a lot of people really do like them.

 

[Philadelphus]

Looks like the text for the achievement has changed; I noticed today that it now reads "Get a female heir while having a Castle in your capital (more advanced fort buildings do not count)." So it looks like it's changing to work with the new building system. The interesting question is, can you still get it between now and when the patch comes out using the old requirements?

Achievements give me something to aim for, without them I'd probably have played a lot less EU than I have done.
Some people love achievements because it gives a sense of completion or a target other than just "playing" and like the recognition.

Achievements for "start a game" or "Declare war for the first time" I don't care about, but the hard ones? I like being able to say "Hey, I did a WC" here's the proof, other than just showing a screenshot.

In 1.12 this achievement will require you to get a female heir while having a Castle (the earliest fort building) in your capital. Later fort buildings will not count.

I think it's a bit of a shame Unique buildings seem to be gone. I liked them.

Don't you already get a Castle in your capital, or am I misremembering that particular DD?

No, capital gets +1 free fort level on top of any fort buildings (if any) built there.

Ah, ok. That makes sense. Is there a tech requirement for that first fortress level, or can you just build it from the start? I imagine this'll make this achievement achievable much earlier than it is right now?

Castle can be built from tech 1.

??? that got me lost ...

So I can not get this achievement in 17th century (with better fort) since forts replace each other?

 

[Wizzington]

You can, but it requires you to not upgrade your Castle to a higher level fort.

 

[CheesySnake]

Castle can be built from tech 1.

If you've already got a female heir and then build a castle to put her in, will the achievement still fire? Or does it have to be get castle --> get princess --> put princess in this castle?

 

[Zak Preston]

Wiz, how will the bonuses from unique buildings be compensated?

 

[blackchoas]

So what your saying is I should just play as Aragon build a Castle in my capital and wait for the Isabella event to fire?
