I cleared the wasteland and defeated the Pyre of Man, but the Steam achievement is still showing as locked.

I also defeated Magnar, but the "Exterminator" "defeat a faction" achievement is still locked, as is the "Defeated Sovereign in Battle" achievement.

I got the Defeated Sovereign In Battle achievement, but I haven't got any of the Wildland Boss Achievements because they aren't unlocking for anyone.  Not sure about Exterminator, but probably not.

I confirm "Defeated Sovereign in battle" nor "Pyre of Man" were activated in my case.

After defeating Lord Relias in his last city to end the game, I got the "Defeated Sovereign in Battle" achievement.  "Exterminator - Defeat a faction" is still locked, though.  I don't know what "defeat a faction" could mean other than wiping out their last city and eliminating them from the game.

I don't see how Defeated Sov and Defeat a Faction could be different, unless Defeat a Faction includes making them your vassal (in which case Defeat a Faction could be replaced by Get a Sovereign to Surrender).

I can add that getting a sovereign to surrender doesn't unlock the "Defeat Faction" achievement as well.

 

Also the "Waiting out the clock" achievement doesn't unlock when the turn limit is reached and I am the leading faction.

 

Also a question:

How are we supposed to unlock the "Fallen Enchantress" achievemnt when there is no scenario? :D

I don't think achievements are suppose to unlock until LH goes LIVE as in LAUNCH this is BETA remember?

In FE I got the campaign award from beating my custom campaign...

Also beating a sovereign means defeating them in battle, defeating a faction means killing a faction.

If that's really the case, those two achievements are broken.  I beat Magnar in battle many times, but got no achievement for it.  I defeated Altar in battle many times and wiped out all their cities, and got the defeated in battle after wiping them out but not the defeat a faction.

It's not intentional, I'm testing and making mods (or potential fixes for the devs)... the easiest way to test if something will work is by cheating. Currently I have only 1 achievement that I haven't earned naturally, but there it goes.

BTW, FWIW, I haven't been using any cheats.

I don't even know any cheats beside Ctrl+U to begin with :D

There is the insta build cheat ---

There is the insta all research cheat ---

There is the insta teleport any unit cheat ---

There is the insta 1000 of every resource cheat ---

These are the ones I use to test building requirements, research requirements, spell in friendly or enemy territory requirements, and the resources are there so I can rush units to test unit properties...

The only achievement I received by cheating was recruiting the troll (I had a choice between a darkling or a troll, no way to avoid an acheivement there. A forum search will give you all the cheats.

Thanks for the heads up guys.  We've fixed these issues locally, except for the cheats.  I've currently not told it to block achievements if the player cheated, but I likely will before release.

I can confirm that at least the Exterminator achievement is fixed in .85.  I took Procipinee's last city, then defeated her in battle, and got the achievement.

I also got two of the Wildland achievement (guess those do work in 0.85)

Torax Mountain grinder and

Abreix The big Snake in his valley

And the "Defeat the Pyre of Man" is fixed.  I'll update the OP.
