I had same with civilian research achievements. If you check steam achievements page, you will see that 5 have still 0%. It looks at least some of them are bugged.

Advent Harmony Researcher
Outstanding Resume
Vasari Empire Researcher
Pirate Exterminator
TEC Civilian Researcher

The thing that bothers me most, is that the devs actually don't seem to be doing anything about this problem. I mean, there have been 3 updates since the release, they still don't work. Furthermore, the devs seem to be shy to post anything about any known issues or bugs that are live now.

I am a bit sad, because in the past the support was a lot better, I think most of the good devs have been set on SOASE2 development or something

Got the same problem. Played and won well over 30 games and finished ALL of the Research achievements but only the Military ones registered as complete. Would like for these issues to be solved so I can finish my achievement collecting. Gonna hold off on trying to get 1000 pirates till this issue is solved.

Anymore news on a possible fix for this?

Actually, most of the achievements were the work of StarClad. If you go to any of the other add-ons/vanilla, you'll notice the list of acheivements, under player setup, I believe. Most of these acheivements were ported to Steam.[/quote]

oh great and i just wondered if my sins trinity vanilla achievements works perfectly and my sins rebellion is messed up

I hope this is fixed soon.  I have well over 60 missions done in my current game, very annoying to do, but still no achievement.  With the reduced size of pirate bases, no chance I'm going after the pirate killer achievement until after these glitches are fixed.

I tried for Outstanding Resume a few days ago and did over 40 missions, no achieve

I have 1.1 patch and some of these or still broken.  I have done both the TEC and Vasari civ research achievements and neither registered.  I do have pirate exterminator which I suspect I probably had before I installed 1.1.  Maybe these are not just "broken" or "working" but some other factor determines when they register as achieved or get ignored.  Its annoying.  I see that .3% of players have achieved the Vasari Empire Researcher and .4% have achieved the other two civilian research achievements, which makes these 3 the lowest ones of them all.  The military ones are barely any better though with just .5% (Visari), .6% (Advent), and .7% (TEC).

As it happens, the 8 lowest ones are also the same 8 that I don't have including the 6 research ones, Archaeologist, and Outstanding Resume.  I know with certainty I have never had all of the artifacts and have not done the other research ones but I can't say if I ever did the 30 missions needed for Outstanding Resume so I can't say if that one is broken or not.

EDIT: For what it is worth the reason these did not work for me seems to have been because the achievement conditions were met after my opponent was dead.  You have to meet the conditions while you still have an active opponent it seems.  I have half of the research achievements now (1 military, 2 non-military) and working on the other half.
