Not sure if this has been suggested before, but achievements are pretty "hip" at the moment on web-based games (or any games, really) and it could be a good way to encourage people to try different things.

I'd suggest it would work best on reg, simply because it would be frustrating losing all your achievements each round, plus the slower turn rate would make it take far longer to achieve some of the said things.

There could be a few minimal rewards for completing things, as well as shiny badges. A few possible examples below

Quote
Dibbun no more
Leave protection- 25mil cash reward

Specialist
Have 90% or more of your buildings in one structure type. -5bil cash reward

Happy pony raiser
Use turns five times without attacking once. -500million food reward

Loyalist
Stay active for fifty days -10bil cash reward

Warrior Cat Enthusiast
Use Wildcat's pressgang spell 500 times -6mil net in any troop type of choice as a reward

Team player
Join, or create, a clan -500 land

Champion Skiff Racer
Win 5 skiffs races -2.5bil cash
I'm sure other people can think of more inventive achievements and titles.

They'd mainly be aimed at newbies, and I think would be a relatively simple (if gimmicky) way to encourage people to keep playing, and to try different things, even a good way to encourage figuring out strategies (putting 90% buildings in one structure). Any different opinions? I think it would appeal to a lot of people and can't see many downsides as long as the rewards are kept small enough to only really benefit smaller empires. It would also reward players who stick around in the long run.

Why not suggest your own achievements? View the below link.

This is something that has definitely been brought up before, and I absolutely support this idea, whether it's for purely cosmetic purposes or not.

It wouldn't be hard to code either. It just hasn't been high on the priority list, but maybe if there's enough support and push from you guys we'll think a lot more about putting it in.

What if I make a topic for suggestions and list my own?

I like the idea of one-time rewards, rather than long term ones, along with a shiny

Yes, I think there should be a page for achievements and also you can get them more than once.

Bumping this, because it is still a good idea imo.

Nevermind, just found the thread they were posted in.

I don't like the achievements idea, because it takes away from the main focus of the game.

It's just an incentive to try new things, it's mostly for beginners. A lot of games use the model now, because it gives a sense of reward and encourages you to keep playing to get more.
