Achievements Guide
Plan for the 40 Steam achievements without fragmenting a run.
Steam lists 40 achievements. Complete natural progression first, then separate policy, retainer, combat and collection conditions into named save branches. Use the official Steam descriptions as the condition index instead of relying on an unverified third-party checklist.
Route
Do this in order
- 1
Open the official Steam achievement list and group visible descriptions by progression, policy, combat and collection.
- 2
Complete campaign-natural goals on the main save before specialized branches.
- 3
Create a named manual save before mutually exclusive policy, retainer or battle choices.
- 4
Keep equipment and seasonal reserves before long combat attempts.
- 5
Verify both the Steam overlay notification and profile unlock before leaving the branch.
Use saves as a route map
Achievement planning should reduce repeated setup, not dictate every decision in the main run.
- Main save for natural progression
- Policy or retainer branch before the commitment
- Combat branch before deployment
- Late-game hub save for collection cleanup
Planning table
Achievement run structure
| Group | Plan | Save point | Verification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Natural progression | Complete normal livelihood, building and campaign milestones first. | Keep the main run before specialized branches. | Steam overlay and official achievement list both show the unlock. |
| Policy and retainer branches | Group mutually exclusive choices by branch instead of replaying the whole opening. | Create a named save before the policy, court or retainer commitment. | Confirm the exact public description in Steam before optimizing the route. |
| Combat and defense | Prepare equipment and replenishment before attempting battle conditions. | Save before deployment and again before an irreversible result. | Do not count an in-game result until Steam records it. |
| Collection and completion | Track missing conditions against the official 40-achievement list. | Preserve a late-game hub save with access to several systems. | Check online Steam status if a completed condition does not unlock. |
If it does not work
If an achievement does not trigger, ensure Steam is online, the exact condition fully completed and the current mode permits achievements. Check whether the result needs a day, season or mission resolution before replaying a long route.
Completion signal
The Steam overlay notification appears, the official list records the unlock and the branch save remains available for the next condition.
