Single Player Achievements??

from Sins Forums

I was just curious since no one has really talked about them much on the forums.

I am close to 80% done.  (About 30% of them I got in 2 different games on purpose)

 

Anyone figure out what "Space Ponies" are??

I haven't been able to do the hositle/military only research ones.  Culture seems to take start a serious problem.

One of the achievements I just did which was a pain in the ass was the no capital ships.

I am about to attempt the capital ships only , this should be interesting =D

Quoting unkn0wnx, reply 16
I have problem with Family planning.  I can play a huge map, but AI would surrender before I get to 6000 population.

well I have solved that problem with a mod :D

no caps, just spam frigates, killing a thousand pirates is much more harder, I usually just make my fleets sit one jump outside of the pirate base

4 Ai, that one was a piece of cake, same with the military and the civilian research, by far the easiest is probably either jump to another star, travel to a worm hole, or create a map

I don't know if anyone still reads this thread, but I'm having a heck of a time with the defeat X hard AI's.

 

The defeating part is easy, but I still haven't gotten credit for it.  I've played several huge random maps against 8+ hard AI's yet still don't have achievement.  Is there some unmentioned stipulation like you can't ally with one of them at any point in game.  Or do you have to choose "keep playing" from the surrender screen to completely exterminate everything?

This thread is so old that it's probably considered better to start your own rather than bump it.  It contains some reference to old bugs which have since been fixed.

Yes, the conditions of the achievement clearly state that you must defeat X hard enemies on your own.  That means no allies allowed.  This is because it's possible to load yourself up with allies and lock the teams.  Especially with the new extra-high difficulty settings, it'd be an achievement to actually lose here.  Typically these achievements are completed by locking the teams and forcing everyone to be enemies.  So long as there are five "hard" AI enemies, you get credit for the achievement once you win.

Or do you have to choose "keep playing" from the surrender screen to completely exterminate everything?

No, you don't have to do that, you just have to defeat them.
