kspes: New builds are ready! They should be available for download/update on GOG Galaxy very soon.

Let me know how it goes!
It took me 3 days to kill all the units and the achievement "Serial Killer" didn't pop up. Just finished playing Skirmish match vs CPU on the map Mountain Siege (picked hard difficulty for CPU). Took quite a while for the monk unit to spawn but took forever for catapult to show up and after killing them nothing. I have a save file i can send.

I checked again userData folder and now the achInfo.cfg file showed up?! Upon opening these are the results:

E_Clubman
E_Longbowman
E_Swordsman
E_Halberdier
F_Axeman
F_Archer
F_Spearman
F_Cavalry
V_Marauder
V_Archer
V_Berserker
V_Spearman
V_Scout
E_Cavalry
E_Champion
E_Priest
E_Paladin
E_Catapult

Should be unlocked since all the English race units were killed in one match.

Or do i have to do killings for all French and Viking units in one match as well?

It's so weird that the game doesn't calculate the killings properly, as i have already done it for all the units of each race.

good, looks like you're getting close!

so, the achievement should unlock after you kill EACH enemy unit type from EACH race.
The "within one match" restriction has been lifted, you can achieve this through any number of matches.
because this restriction has been lifted, we decided to balance it out to include all races ;)

each of the races has 9 unity types, according to the contents of your achInfo.cfg file, you've taken care of all english types, 4/9 french types and 5/9 viking types.

If you want to cheat, you can add all but one type of these from my first post (make sure to prefix them with E_, V_, F_, corresponding to the respective race), to have a total of 26 (suggest to leave out the clubman), then kill that one and you'll get to unlock the achievement.

or, of course, keep doing it the hard way, it's more fun and rewarding :)

Do i need to do it vs CPU only in Skirmish or i can do Human vs Human?

Edit: I can confirm it doesn't work Human vs Human. I guess it has to be vs CPU. It took me 3 days on one map to kill all the English units while waiting for monk and catapult units to spawn, i guess i will have to do the same for French and Vikings. >.<

yeah It's been coded as campaign and skirmish only.

Anyway, once you do get the achievement, since you're the first to "suffer" throught this one: I can give you a choice that will impact other players, if you think this achievement is way too difficult. We can modify the achievement in 2 ways:

1) reduce back the requirement to cover only one race
2) modify it so that you have to kill at least 50% (or similar) of each race instead of 100%

Nah, don't worry. The achievement itself is easy, it's just that it is time consuming and depends how lucky you are with enemy spawning all the units sooner or later. It'll take few more hours, i've clocked already over 60. :D

wow, awesome :) Hopefully most of those 60 hours were enjoyable and not frustrating :)

But it's always makes me as a dev happy to see people playing our games so much!
Let me know when you unlock the achievement, i'm now personally involved in your quest :D

Also, if you get stuck on anything else in the game, please don't hessitate to write, we follow all game forums and are always willing to fix problems. Each such interaction makes our games a little bit better for the next player, so it's very much worth the effort :)
