Fishing for Trouble Achievement

[zbhalokiller117]

just a heads up for anyone going for it i drenched a holy world to get the holy water achievement which also provokes them to declare war on you and the achievement didn't pop so i guess try only through insults

Same thing, Holy water was easy to get. Throwing insults didn't help, the Fallen empire chose to attack my vassal instead of me, no achievement

the other thing that might work is settle right on the xenophobe one and refuse to remove the outpost

according to the official wiki, looks like the fallen empire needs to be inferior to you NOT pathetic.
"Become stronger until the fallen empire has Inferior relative power and insult it to trigger a war. Do not wait until they have Pathetic relative power, they will not declare war in that case."

yeah i was equivalent they declared war when i drenched the planet then they surrendered like 2 years later when they lost all fleets

Holy Water achievement just wont trigger for me. Ive got the head of Z and colonized then drenched it. The fallen empire suddenly awoke instead.
Ive been sufficiently strong enough to colonize ignore the request to leave and drench it, they declare war and still no achievement.
Ive followed the wiki but it doesn;t seem enough.
Any ideas on what I'm missing for this one please?

my guess would be the head of z bugs it or cancels it, try again without that relic

Bleh. Same thing. I drenched the planet provoking them into war, got the Holy Water.

I chose Humiliation as a war goal, ended the war early soon as I had the points to declare a win.

I had two Starbases with the Zroni Storm upgrade made custom fleets and platform without shields and laid waste to their fleets.

Going to fall back to an earlier save file and try:
1. Running the AI into exhaustion so they send the loss.
2. Bait the war with colonizing the planet.

I think I know, if you get a disconnection message in game, its actually steam desyncing from your game. Including steam registering your achievements. I've noticed whenever this has happened achievements seem to not register.

If you get message pause and reload game. Going to main menu not reloading whole game might work but I haven't tried.

Leaving my game running for extended period of time, like 8 hour, seems to massively increase the likelihood of it happening once I do start playing.

Upgrading from wireless to wire internet connection, or having both might increase the stability of the game.
