The Three Mountains UNLOCKED!!!!!

[unmerged(318660)]

Come on ... just do the math.

Simplified version:
2000 provinces / (12 * 60) = 2,77

That's right ... almost 3 provinces conquered per minute. This includes army management, diplomacy, sieging, ...

It's just not possible, even with 200 actions per minute and some starcraft like movements you're probably too slow.

NOp, its a short time for a three mountain achievement. i dont want to be so mean but since he has 13 years old and with a bet against you, probably he us cheatengine perhaps to get the achievment. i have try to get it in 1.7.3 but still got problems with europe. (36 hours) its difficult ...

 

[chrnno]

It is possible for someone who knows everything involved and has an awesome computer to pull that off but someone new to the game? No flat out impossible. Probably did it with SAM as that would be the easiest and quickest method to cheat.

You can just ask for the save though as that will make it pretty obvious no matter what he did.

 

[Krajzen]

This is physically impossible.

Maybe if it were like 48 hours I could believe it, if he is really VERY intelligent (on the level of genius, I mean Jesus Christ he's 13 years old and this achievement is designed as basicaly impossible to get).


But 'less than 12 hours' - uhm, I am not sure if even at speed 5 the game would go from 1444 to 1821 in 12 hours, can somebody enlighten me here?


Eventually it could be possible to check this via getting into his savefile and checking state history/province history to see if ownership changes at given years resemble something legal

DDR Jake confirmed 13 years old and OP's friend!

'Sorry guys I was tired while creating this thread, I meant 120 hours, not 12'

Instead of vague 'he said' provide the source. Where did he say this and where is the proof? I don't think anybody on here wants it to be wrong, they just want to be shown it really is possible.

speed 3 (without pauses) = ~10.3 hours
A protectorate rush WC with an European OP country in 1.8 would be very hard to achieve in 12 hours let alone the TTM...

Did you quote the wrong person or are you asking me to prove that DDR Jake is a 13 year old?

I see DDRJake found the fountain of youth and perfectly his WC strategy. I'll be looking forward to his vids.

I know it is possible for 2-3 hours but wouldn't surprise me if the newer most expensive rigs could pull it off in under one.

I heard he was able to convert, become HRE and revoke by 1483 and abused high LA province cost scaling to finish the wc by 1608.

Also, I heard he's actually 12, not 13, but lied about his age in order to register!

I had a bet with a 13 year old friend of mine to get the Three Mountains Achievement. He agreed and I borrow him the game on Steam.
So, in less than 12 hours he unlock the achievement, along with:

World Conquerer
That's a Silk Road
No Pirates in my Caribbean
A Protected Market
Etc.

He is very intelligent, but that intelligent?
In so short time, is that even possible?

I'm thinking he might have cheated.

He may had used a program to unlock achievements.
What do you think?
An if he cheated how can I prove it?

Thanks

P.s This is my first post and I don't know where to put this.

Hola Paisano.

Do you have the save?, we can take a look at it and maybe we all can verify if there was some cheats there.

 

[birincikalite]

Well it's pretty mupch impossible.
You may run at full speed and end the game faster on a fast pc but... There is this problem that during a WC run you're gonna pause A LOT. You'll need to pause and think lots of times or you might end up losing everything due to that tiny mistake. Watch Jake or someone doing a WC run, or you'll know it if you did. Even with populer WCers like France or the Ottomans, you 're still gonna spend lots of time pausing the game. Ah, also forgot to mention autosave times of ironman lol.

I believe he is lying.
His brother, a friend of mine, got to his computer and copy his saved game. He will handle it to tomorrow to check it out.

He told he was unable to do screenshots because his computer freezes -I do not believe him.

Also, I think he would have got other achievements, like the Five Colonies or The Seven Goods, become Emperor of the HRE or dismantle the HRE. I mean you just need those for a world conquest, is it not?

Anyway. Thank you a lot for the support. As soon as I got the saved file and checked I will tell you whether if it is all a big fat lie or the boy is indeed a genius.

The stake was Assassin's Creed Unity if he unlocked the game.

 

[grumphie]

does he have basic achievments like royal marriage and the like?

if he lacks those thats a huge flag there.

You can also check the timestaps of the achivements. If he cheated, unless he made extra effort to spread them out, he might have gotten all of them at the same time.

Some would make sense to get at the same time (like World Conqueror and The Three Mountains) others could be a sure sign of cheating.

How can I check that?

 

[renny55]

What were the stakes?

I would buy him Assassin's Creed Unity

No way in hell is that possible. Three mountains is insanely difficult, watch ddrjake do it, he used every trick in the book including one of the biggest exploits ever and it took him much much longer than that. Dont believe it for a second.
