Wait, so they added the achievements on steam but they can't actually unlock until the dlc comes out? i just finished a helf campaign that took ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ forever because lokhir was literally on the opposite side of the map and had like 15 black arks by the time i got to him. No achievement popped after long campaign victory. So this was all just a waste of time? Thanks CA.

By the way they'll require a domination victory

I have fun with campaigns up to a point, but after a while it just turns into a repetitive slog. But I do like to get the achievements, and I now see why I was confused about the requirements.

"The achievements will pop once you have met your Long Victory conditions once you hit the records screen after achieving ultimate victory or domination. (Small change there during development!)"

I knew I read somewhere that it said long victory condition, just they crossed it out. Why the hell would they make it ultimate or domination victory for the achievement? Doing that for every faction sounds like an unfun nightmare.

Even if they hadn't changed the requirements you still wouldn't have gotten it yet

[Aralous]

Ya that was kind of my initial point, why even add the achievements on steam when they can't be unlocked yet? They don't have anything to do with the DLC.

It's not uncommon. In fact, the achievements from the previous update for Mirrors of madness were also up early if I recall correctly.
As for why - no idea.

[Aralous]

They were up early, but it was obvious you couldn't get them since the mirrors of madness mode wasn't released yet. I don't know the technical aspects about how Steam achievements work, but it seems ridiculous that they would release the achievements, all of which are possible to do right now, except they just don't trigger yet. Has anyone actually gotten a dom/ult victory to confirm they don't work yet?
