Quartermaster/Rugga Achievements
Hey everyone,

I just finished the game (loved it!), but I had a question about an achievement.
I quickly lost my chance for the moral achievement, but I was committed to getting the starvation one. At no point in the game (for Bolverk/Alette) did I have zero supplies. I was pretty low on a number of occasions, but I never hit starvation.
However, upon finishing the chapters I never got the achievement. Any particular reason for this? Perhaps a specific event affects clansmen hunger? I don't recall it in my playthrough.

This goes with Rugga as well. He wasn't fond of me (50/50 love and hate with him), and he did try to kill me (I kept Dagr alive). However, at the final meeting I did side with him and won all the battles following that. He briefly talked to me after, then left before the finale. How does the alliance achievement work? Is it prior to the King's events (so maybe he doesn't try to kill you?).

Thanks for any input! I love the variation in the outcomes. Lots of hype for replays and TBS3!

Getting no-starvation and good-morale achievements together is very very hard.

For the Rugga achievement, I think you have to make him like you during the voyage by making decision he approves of.

EDIT -- Thanks Anarka. No need to side with him in Arberrange to get the achievement.

Nope; the Rugga achievement will unlock just after the Old Woods if he decides not to try to kill you. You just have to impress him before that point.

I wouldn't say so, if you import from a moderately good save.
I only dipped one in the whole game to low morale, not long after the Old woods. I forgot to rest at that time. supplies had never been lower 6 days.


Also thanks for the clarification on Rugga, wasn't sure when the tied achiev was unlocked.

Yes, but: How many people in your caravan? The deal here is that Saga1 was easy to "exploit", killing off your caravan in favor of promoting Heroes. So, a small caravan is easy to uphold in Saga2 with only a few Supplies.

Would need to load a save to know, but not too few I think. It was an import from a hard game. I managed to do a forced march with normal moral almost all the time. Only upped to rank 5 a few people and bought little items, kept enough food to last a bit more than required.
I think it was my most renown sparing run.


Edit : Apologies to you guys.
Turns out there is no need to get old to have terribly bad memory.
I had 130 and 30 days of supplies, which is now in-line with what others said. I was wondering why everyone had so little renown :groucho:.

It brought a bug to view though, so it wasn't all bad. Restarting from the save menu 'Start from the beginning" restarts the game with a basic game, not the import.

Rugga Achievement.
I remember this situations, when I got his approval:
1) On the river - either ignore village or return to boats and kill the thieves
2) During crossing the bridge - don't drop his men (drop supplies, if you try to find the third way, his people will be droped and you will be blamed)
3) During saving the town from dredge and housemen - focus on dredge and allow his bodyguard to help from behind
4) In the old forest - When you pass a village, go and kill a fat-4-titles-houseman.

After I did all that I became a cruel monster, he joined me and I got an achievement.

ya.bym, for your step 3), letting Rugga's bodyguard help from behind gets Ludin killed doesn't it?

Yes.

Interesting. Thanks for the information! I'm looking into this for my Rook playthrough.

However, the no-starvation aspect in my Alette game still doesn't make sense. Never got to zero supplies... any RNG events that might cause 'starvation'? I did look at a flower for over a day that knocked down my supplies from 10 days to 3 days at one point in the Old Forest haha

As long as you don't hit 0 you should be fine.
