Achievements

Hi all,

We are brainstorming some new achievements for Offworld, and I wanted to see if you guys have any good ideas that we can add now while there is still time.

I would put potential achievements into three categories:

- Unusual Win ("You won without any buildings not connected to your HQ!")

- Counting Stat ("You building your 100th Offworld Market!")

- Cool Event ("You destroyed 10 units with a Magnetic Storm")

Thanks!

Cool Event:

Achievement unlocked: All of your buildings are losing money.  (for beginners to teach them that they need to shut off unprofitable buildings). I say this tongue in cheek but it would be kinda funny to see it as a random achievement.

orgy dome - for a pleasure dome completely surrounded by habitat modules (ok maybe you can't call it that)

 

Unusual Win:

for expansive, robotic, and scientific - You won without building steel mills

winning without any special buildings

 

Counting Stat:

"Burn all teh things" award: you blew up your 50th offworld  (dynamite)

 

 

I'd love to see some humor in some of the achievements. It's what separates the indy games from the stuffy corporate EA sports type games.

 

I'd also like to see a special achievement unlocked when you beat blues or cubit.

Would be funny to see a Blues/Cubit bot playing the game if there are AIs in it. And have them say their own quotes. After every 32k auction have Cubit bot say: gg

Raising prices to 999 and forcing all opponent's buildings to be permanently off in campaign, I am still not able to give someone 1m debt.

But they're eating some delicious food water oxygen. Rubini might say, "People really want oxygen, so they have to pay a little more. I'm not price gouging at all"

Cool events for mules: 
"Dogs in space!!!?" - when you play your first mule
"Who let the dogs out?" - play 100 mules
Unusual events for mules:
"Get your ass off my property" - when you claim a tile currently being worked by an opponents mule. (is it even possible to do that, I've never tried)
"Well-balance diet" - use mules to mine 5 different resources in a single game.
"Fussy eater" - use mules to mine the same resource 5 times in a row in a single game.
Miscellaneous
"Space Cowboy" - Play pirates 100 times
"Defence at any cost!" - buy a mutiny for over $100,000

Horizontal Integration - Don't harvest ANY primary resources (ie, the one with resource pips) as non-scientific in a won ranked match. (If that's too hard, only harvest from resource pips no higher than low.)

Horizontal non-Integration - Don't sell any primary resources (including power) and win.

Monopoly Man - Purchase 200k worth of underground nukes in a won ranked match.

Why we can't have nice things - Successfully dynamite offworlds 5 times in a won ranked match.

The Invisible Rocket - Build the first not-goonsquaded offworld in a ranked free for all match that doesn't get dynamited during the rest of the entire match. (Dynamite must be available on the BM)

Swiss Army Robot - As robotic never make more than 2 of any secondary resource building per resource type and never more than 1 primary resource harvester per resource type. (This is supposed to make use of the robotic bonus and power should probably be excluded from this)

Did you really really need that? - Get a goonsquad you placed on a tile that doesn't belong to you triggered 3 times in a a won ranked match. (Mutiny + Goonsquad)

The Way of Cube - Win 32 times (not in a row) after founding with 32k debt.

Rapid Acquisition - Win a ranked 1v1 match before day 4 through majority buyout.

King of the Hill - Win a ranked 4p FFA match with 3 majority buyouts.

 

Imo all of these achievements need to be linked to won ranked matches because they're trivially easy to accomplish in custom matches with friends but not as easy in ranked matches you have to win in order to get them. By making the requirement a won ranked match they'd actually be hard to achieve and thus actually worthwhile and brag-worthy. Alternatively there should be ranked versions of these achievements. I personally consider any other type of achievement pointless. And finally, you probably should be able to get these and other similar achievements multiple times and be able to show to other how many times you got them.

I've been looking through the new achievements; noticed this:

(there is an achievement for reaching the final round of the campaign and one for reaching the elimination round which I believe is the same thing; so 2 achievements for no reason.)

Unless something had been changed dramatically - I haven't really been playing the campaign lately.

Also while I'm at it:

(Achievement "Won With All Patents"'s description should say "won a game having acquired all the patents (Manager or higher)"

 

 

Unless something has been changed in English dramatically...

Awesome achievements btw, looking forward towards getting some of them ;)
