Actually HAL, I can do that.

February 21, 2008 10:14:41 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Two questions regarding this achievement.

One: It says "win the game by yourself" Does that mean I can't ever make a peace treaty if I want the achievement? What about cease fires? Or does that just mean no allied victory? (Ie, break treaty before 2nd to last player dead

So to be specific, can I get myself an ally, then dump him before we win together and still get the achievement?

Seccondly, what movie/book/game is this achievement quoting/referencing?

It's a sad day when people don't know what HAL references anymore. Kids need to read more and watch more classics.

As long as you're not on a team with any AIs when you start the game, you should get the achievement when you win.

...I think.

Hm... Thanks orange, sage.

Anyone able to verify the team thing, perchance?

Because I don't want to finish this 2 day long map, only to find that I won't get the achievement because I wanted some help.

Of course there's sound in space. You just can't hear it.

Well, I know you can make ceasefires/peace treaties and still get the achievement. I don't know what happens if you're at peace with someone when you win, though. Can you even do that?

Ok, cool. Thanks.

And yes you can, I was playing a 3 player FFA and I made a peace treaty with one of them. As soon as we killed the third player, we won.

I can say, for certain, that if you have a cease-fire with a faction and you break it before you finish, then you can still get the achievement.

I can't say for peace treaties (I never make them - a cease fire is a far as I'm willing to go ), but I imagine that if you're solo by the end (and so wipe out your former allies) you should be okay

an easy wau to get this achievement is to play a huge map with locked teams, 5 hards, and 4 normals, that way the normals are not murdered by the hard comps.
