Achievement issues

[Dudealarm]

Loving the new achievements, a brilliant reason for me to start playing this game again after a long break.

I'm having issues with unlocking some of them though:

Economy Class - Win without having more than 10 train cards in hand at any time.
Dynamite Joe - Win without your opponent(s) having completed any of their tickets.
Transcontinental - Win with a continuous route of 45 trains

These three I know I have done without getting the achievement. They don't say, but are they map specific?

try the standard USA map, it works!

Found all of Your nice Tooltip, but: All Crownd are empty. I'got only one achivement. And this automaticly after the update. Why I can't get any achivments? My friend played over 3000 games and do have the same problem. Mhmm...

I'm having the same issue- baltic explorer, russian explorer, and others I know I've gotten not being recognized by the gam upon winning, etc. Playing the appropriate map, winning, etc. But then some- 3 punched, 6 punched, 20 games, etc do show up. What gives?

Trestle is certainly broken (US classic map).

I achieved trestle not too long ago.

Actually. It was December 27. Maybe that was too long ago. There have been some recent patches. Could have broke.

Sent friend invite; do you happen to have a screencap of the game you achieved it? I'd like to see the game-end final, or anything else that would indicate something I could have missed.

This was teh second time it should have popped for me, and the first was shortly before Christmas.

Thanks for info.

And now on the Euro map, no Baltic Explorer for this game (and win):

These are some fairly demanding achievements; you can't just get them every other game. Frustrating.

I hadn't thought of taking screenshots at the time.

When my opening ticket options made it favorable, I took a break from the other achievements I was hounding and took a shot at it. I still don't have Coal tender. Anyway, I got it the first try. I think I completed 4 tickets. At one point I blocked something, and the AI helped out. Instead of simply going around, it randomly tossed wagons at the board to end the game quickly.

Yeah game setup has to work right to even bother trying; prolly not gonna do it with tickets on the four corners north/south routes even in a 2p game. That's exactly why the no pop is lousy... for the tunnel/Euro map above I contacted them to ask if I'm missing something; maybe it's my fault, idk.

I wrote a short guide for a few achis including some that I don't have yet (incl coal and trestle), and my strategy for pursuing them. Would appreciate any suggestions you might have.

Thanks for responding with what you do remember.

Your recommendations for the Hobo are good. You might want to highlight the benefits of landing the 6-wagon routes. Also, not wanting to complete one's own tickets grants the player surprising freedom to stockpile cards and bide time.

[preinimi]

I have now done all the achievements except from Conductor Level 3-5 and Pressure Gauge so if anyone has questions about the other ones - just ask! :)

[charbrunk]

Achievements are not working for me too.

Patience is a virtue; got Hobo today. Cheers, monkey.

Nice one.

For some reason I thought 'modest entrepeneur' would be easy. The opponent(s) either do really well and beat you, or so poorly that you accidently win a forbidden bonus despite trying not to. I finally won in a 3 player game. I think that's probably the sweet spot.

Still no coaltender. Don't think its a bug though, I just get nowhere near it.

That one is gonna be a bastard; how do you get all the black car draws soon enough to take routes and not lose on tickets? I don't know.

One theory I have - shot in the dark, just a suspicion - is that the black/orange routes might be able to take either color in a 2 or 3 player game, since parallel routes can't be built.

You'd never know it from the way the achi is written... but if you have the ROUTE where the black cars travel...? I dunno, but I'm holdling that one in reserve for a close, desperate game, if I ever get close enough to matter.

Frankly, I think this is one that you farm out with a willing friend (and it's such an achievement when done that way, oh my!).
