Achievements…September 3,2009 9:00 amWe’re just finishing up our “Achievements” list for Archon. Some of them are pretty fun, some are hard, but most are easy. We’re finding that in one game, a person will get 5, 6 even 8 achievements from the list we have. In a game like Archon, you could possibly target a few achievements, because there are so many pieces and the games can be long…but come on…8 in one game?! We’ve got to fix that. So, I thought a good place to turn for ideas would be the community. Who better to ask for help than the people playing the game? So, people…What would make a really good achievement? I mean a REALLY hard one? Maybe even one that nobody can get…like: “Annihilate the Dark team by only using 1 Knight.” or, “Win a game in under 1 minute.” We have a list of about 20 or so…but some are really easy. Let me know your thoughts on our forums. Click here to enter your idea. Thanks and I look forward to your ideas! |

I’m not going to make a forum account for one post, so hopefully you’ll hear me here.
If you’re having trouble with “easy” requirements, one thing to do is to include cumulative achievments if the iPhone allows it: “Beat 30 Knights” can’t be done in one game. But it’s essential that achievements like that not dominate the achievement system by being too high (100 Knights would be bad, and 100 of anyone else is just silly). Just use these to avoid the “too many in one game” problem, and let the weird but more challenging and fun ones like “Annihilate Dark with 1 Knight” be your hards.

We hear ya!
The iPhone does allow for cumulative achievements, but we’re keeping those to a minimum. Thanks for your comment!

I friend of me had the Idea and I found it would be a un to have that in archon, it’s about spells during combat, some make the opponent weaker or slower or they give him a 10 Second timeout without to be able to shot, etc.. what do you think ? Sorry I know my posting is not about achievm ents.. I will like achievments, but its nothing very important for me, but it will certainly be funny, escpecially the silly ones, like killing a sorcerer with a knight..

Sorry not on the forum, but had a few (late) suggestions for Achievements:
“Opposites Attract” - only kill opponents using opposite number (goblins on knights, manticore on archers, etc.)
“Bet on Black” - all battles must take place on a black square
“Can’t Touch This” - take no damage during game (can’t be hit during any combat)
“Knight to Queen” - all knights/goblins must reach the opposite side of the board.
… a few that might not be as difficult:
“Pacifist” - do not attach any pieces (only defend)
“Limper” - only move one square per turn
“Frozen” - cannot move any pieces (not sure this is possible, actually)
