Steam Achievements: "1. ..."

[zebramatt]

All my Steam achievements start with a "1. ...", e.g.:

You achieved AI War: Fleet Command: 1. Control 2, 1. Warmup: 1 Hour Campaign, 1. Getting Into This: 5 Hour Campaign, 1. Future Proofing: 150,000 Energy, 1. Scrap: I need the scrap!, 1. 500,000 Points.

Yep, those are the easy category of achievements.  There are 6 categories in all (see the achievements button of the main menu to get a full list of them).  No worries!  You'll get some 2s and some 5s before long, I'm sure!

Is there an achievement for finding a strategy that is later nerfed?

Usually people use that sort of thing to adorn their forum sigs, I think.

And, there's the achievement of "being in the release notes / credits," too.

Whoo-hoo!  *makes mental note to edit sig later*

That's the best achievement!

If you dont mind me asking, how exactly did "low automatic progress" get nerfed? What was the before and after?

[Spikey00]

My Colony Ships will never be nerfed!  :C

[Lancefighter]

also, how did raiders get nerfed? I used them in my last game, and they seemed pretty good.. except that they cost an arm and two legs. Require micromanagement, definitely...

[Fiskbit]

They got nerfed primarily with regard to cost, but also with regard to one kind of base ship, I think. The problem was that they could rip through anything but fighters and made the game way too easy. Not as overpowered as Zenith Mirrors and Beam Frigates are (or were until recently?), but still pretty overpowered.

[HellishFiend]

I'm still wondering how low automatic progress got nerfed. How exactly can you nerf what happens when you set the the AI's progress to increase more slowly over time?

[Kjara]

What is meant by nerfing low progress is the strategy of keeping progress very very low(say <100) through various strategies.  One of these was eliminated by the supply mechanic.  Before you could take 4-5 planets together, then never take an additional planet(besides the occasional advanced research station), and just go around with mobile builders to build anything you might need(even star docks to replace your troops).   Its still possible(keeping progress really low), just a bit harder to do with supply.

That makes sense, except there is no "automatic" in there. The concept of supply could be considered a nerf for a low AI progress strategy, but not a low *automatic* progress strategy (which isnt even really a strategy, but a game mode/option).
