The description for this achievement says: "Kill each unit type of one race in a single match". I have done this for all 3 races in Campaign, Skirmish and Hotseat mode and nothing happened. Unlock percentage for this achievement is 3.5% which means it should work but for some unknown reason it's not unlocking for me. Can you check if it's broken or am i missing something here?

Hmm, I'm looking at the code, it should work. It won't unlock in hotseat according to the code, but you said you tried in campaign and Skirmish.

Can you write how exactly you are trying to unlock this?
All kills need to be done within a single match (Skirmish ideally)
You need to score a direct kill of each unity type for each race.

Here's the list of all units to help you check. this was taken directly from the code that checks this achievement:

English:
--------
Clubman
Longbowman
Priest
Swordsman
Halberdier
Cavalry
Champion
Catapult
Paladin


French:
--------
Axeman
Archer
Monk
HeavyInfantry
Spearman
Cavalry
Knight
Catapult
Templar

Vikings:
--------
Marauder
Archer
Warden
Berserker
Spearman
Scout
Rider
BatteringRam
Warlord




So yeah, a very tough achievement indeed.
Give it another try, and if the game still doesn't unlock the achievement, can you please send us your saved data (userData/ dir next to the exe if I remember correctly.) send it to support@cateia.com

and if you do succeed unlocking, please write here so others can have a confirmation it can be done.

Either way, you're getting that achievement! With or without our help :)
good luck!

Thanks for the fast reply. The achievement description says to kill each unit type of one race in single match, which is exactly what i did.

I've tried in every game mode to pick one race and kill all their units, English, French and Vikings but the achievement didn't unlock.

If i understood you correctly - I have to kill all units against all 3 races in a single match?

Yeah, it's a brutal achievement to earn :)

Start a skirmish with 4 players (you + 3 cpu players), make the 3 cpu players each have a different army. then you have to eliminate one of each and every one of the unit types for each opponent to unlock the achievement.

I think the issue is that the priest/monk/warden + catapult/battering ram units very rarely spawn, no matter the difficulty level. Is there any trick that makes them spawn more often or is it just pure luck?

Yeah, they do spawn rarely, this is indeed a problem :/

You know what, I think it's time to fix this achivement, this is too unfair and frustrating. I'm going to update the game on GOG and Steam soon to address this.

Here's what I suggest:

to unlock the achievement you have to kill at least 50% of each army units. This in turn means you have to kill 5 out of 9 of each unit types.

Still tough, but much more fair and reasonably doable.
I would change the achievement description as well of course.

What do you think of this? do you have an alternate suggestion?

I would either try with something like: "Kill each unit type of any race in a single match"

(It might take a while for monk and catapult type of units to spawn for one race but it's more fair than having to wait for them to spawn for all 3 races in a single match).

Or i would go for: "Kill each unit type of every race"

(This could be cumulative/stacking achievement, meaning it needs to be done - all units killed at least once for each race - throughout the game, not in a single match at once like now).

Also just to let you know - I have tried Skirmish mode with 4 players (human), all different races, bought all units for each race and killed them and the achievement didn't unlock. Was worth giving it a shot. :D

That's pretty good actually, keep the achievement as-is but lift the single-match restriction. I'll see if that can be done, will have to modify the game to track this info.
Either way, we're going to work on this soon and update the game. I'll let you know when the new version will be available on GOG. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Regarding your skirmish, do you still have that session active? Ie. if you go to main menu and 'resume game', will it load the skirmish? If so, can you send your userData/ dir to support@cateia.com please (or attach here on the forum), it will help us a lot to diagnose the issue

Thank you so much! Regarding the saved file, i have it for the map Flower Valley in the Skirmish mode at the moment where all the units from all the races were created. If you think it's gonna help you, i can send no problem.

Glad to help :) It's interactions like these that make our games better over time, I love doing stuff like that :)

as for the skirmish, if the saved map is in a state where you already killed all the different types of units or close to doing so, then please send. Otherwise don't waste your time, we'll recreate it while fixing the problem.

Made a save file once i've bought all the units for all 3 races but i didn't save after killing them all, since the achievement didn't unlock.

It's done! :)
We're doing final checks right now and then we'll upload the new version to GOG.
I've checked everything and the achievement now correctly unlocks when you kill ALL unit types of ALL armies, in any number of matches.
If you want to verify how you're doing you can check "achInfo.cfg" file in the userData dir. Once that file contains 27 unique unit names, the achievment should unlock.
You can use this file to cheat, but where's the fun in that :)

PS: I was wrong about this achievement, it used to unlock when you kill all units of ONE army, not all of them, but the problem is that some units just don't spawn often as you mentioned, thus making this achievement very unfair and frustrating.

Thanks again for discussing this problem, I'm sure many players will be thankful for this change :)


I'll let you know here when the new version will be live.

I don't have that "achInfo.cfg" file in the userData folder, so i cannot check in case i'm missing something. Also i don't mind going for Skirmish vs CPU to kill each of their units again even if it takes some time. :)

Thank you again for looking into this so fast!

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

Let me know how it goes!
