Day 7 Challenge

[Mr.Horakhty]

EDIT: ****Doing the "Boss" Maps Counts Toward It****
Play 5 Arena of the Gods scenarios won't progress. It doesn't count any games, I have won one game, resigned on another and quit on another. It still shows 0/5.

[SamAbitbol]

Same issue for me...

[Mr.Horakhty]

Okay just found out if you play boss levels it counts, so just need to play that boring ass kronos "boss" level 5 times...

I also disabled all mods since arena of the gods are multiplayer not sure if it is needed to do so though.

I am also noticing the next release of Day 8 challenge is also open, but locked. Is there a bug going on here? Previous levels would open whether or not everything before it was accomplished. At this point I cannot play day 7 or day 8. I hope this gets fixed.

[Mr.Horakhty]

Day 8 works fine for me. If by locked you mean there is a lock symbol that's normal it will go away when you finish the mission but if you can't progress than it might be bugged.

Some challenges just aren't worth doing. Train 2025 animals of Set? That's ridiculous. I'm not going to bother with that.

[mister_lobos]

same, i did 3 arena of the gods levels that i still had on page 1.. it completed the earlier challenge of win 5 skirmish or multiplayer games.. but no progress on the arena challenge.

[Xalerion0]

Same

I agree, not sure if they actually thought about that one. Same with the beat 5 games of Arena of the Gods. These are meant to be quick daily tasks you can get done. They aren't meant to be grindy and it'll just mean most people start to ignore them when they do these events.

Going through the full list of planned challenges, this and the one where you need to beat a campaign mission on ludricous difficulty stand out as things I will not bother with, neither of them seems any fun.

I guess the one requiring you to obtain 2025 favour as the Norse in a single match is pushing it too for sure, even if the favour you spend does count, that just makes it harder to even see if you already got it.

The ones like 'win 5 skirmish games' or such are fine though since you will get those anyway in later days doing more challenges.

I'd hate to be forced to play as Set for so many games to train that many animals though, which I honestly don't tend to really use much at all. If they are going to do a 'train 2025 of this unit over any amount of games' achievement it really should be something people will train a lot of.
Like Hoplites, Hersirs, slingers, murmillo or such. All available early and can be used by all of a culture, not just one specific major god within a culture.

[Supergrunt]

As annoying as some of these challenges are, they are much easier if you play a skirmish map and give yourself a 500% bonus, meaning you will get all resources, including favour much faster. You'll also be able to train units a lot faster. As for the campaign, you could just complete the very first mission for the Fall of Atlantis campaign which is quite easy no matter the difficulty.

[mister_lobos]

i just disabled mods entirely, did arena campaign 5 (the first NOT tutorial level, thought it would be faster, might be a little) and it DID count.. then immediately after did 7B (mirkwood) and it did NOT count??? might need to be the ones with faces on them?

for the animals one.. i did 7B as set and noticed you get a bunch of animals with each age up automatically, plus the others only cost favor, no regular resources, so before you have a bunch of resources they are not bad to train anyway, so might not be AS bad as it seems.. i meant to check how many it gave me credit for on the challenge before exiting, but my dead goldfish memory, of course i forgot.. until right after the game closed.

[mister_lobos]

mission 5 works, the last one on on page 1, the first "boss" fight against Kronos, and the first one on page 2 worked.. mods don't matter, it counted 2 of those with mods on, and the one didn't count i had mods disabled? so, who knows?

and for that "train 2025 pets" hah.. it only counts ones you actually train, i had 13 total in one game.. at that rate it'd take well over 100 games playing only as Set?!? of course that was a short arena match, but still, bad challenge.
i might just go against 2 defensive computer players and just repeatedly train the cheapest pets and send them in to die so i can keep training more.. still boring but oh well.

Huge pain but you can auto-queue your Pharaoh to produce baboons. Took me three skirmishes but I got the achievement.

[Thanathos]

wth, i literally beat them on hard, not trying to redo these llol

Someone in the challenge team is probably trying to prove to us, that baboon spam is a perfectly ideal strategy.
