DEI and achievements

[LiquidLouE]

Currently running DEI and two DEI sub mods (5 mods total).

Do these mods deactivate steam achievements? I've read mixed answers. I have been trying to test this with random, smaller achievements, as many of the main achievements I have yet to unlock require vast amounts of time to fulfil.

I have tried 'Et Tu' (Assassinate member of family) in the grand campaign, and (recruit an elephant unit as Carthage) in the Hannibal DLC. Both achievements didn't trigger. I'm not sure if both aren't triggering due to a technicality like: the said member not being a pure direct line in the faction, and the elephant unit being part of the DLC/DEI roster pool.

Can someone confirm whether the major achievements (campaign completions) still work for DEI, as its enjoyable to work towards them.

Mods don't disable achievements on their own however their setup might be different than what achievement tag is looking for.

So for example, unit keys we use for Carthaginian elephants are probably different than the ones used in the base game.

However for factions it does not matter as same keys are used.
Only exception is Tylis, as they are replaced by Scordisci in DeI (meaning if you play as Scordisci, you will get Tylis achievement).

There is also a rare case that some achievements just don't want to kick in for one reason or the other or unlock randomly some time later.
