Just pre-ordered this game on Steam.

So I figured the xbox version will have achievements, since that is like a requirement or something.

Which means I have a few questions, if you would be so kind to humour me.

1. Will the Steam version also have achievements?
2. Will both the Darwinia and Multiwinia components on xbox have achievements?
3. If Darwinia does get achievements, will the Steam version get an update to add the achievements?

Yay, I have every question end in the word "achievements".

There is no one on these forums that can answer those questions without breaking the NDA, unless someone from IV swoops down to answer them. This is very unlikely. Thus, you are going to have to wait until the game comes out.

The Windows version will be out in a few days. I don't know when the XBox version is going to be out. I seem to recall someone suggesting that it would be out by December, but I don't remember where I read that.

These questions were already answered for you. It's common sense, and you need to employ that and soon.

Actually, most haven't been answered, they are new. And hopefully not seriously waiting for an answer, because mine would be "WTF do you mean by that?"

[gerbercage]

anyone here know some member that from Asia?
I will like to find them.

[Phelanpt]

There's a Defcon player from China, and another member from Japan, I think.

It's ok. I found them. They will be on steam, at least for Multiwinia. I don't know about Darwinia though.

Here they are:

Dominator
Capture all spawn points during a multiplayer domination game

Hoarder
Capture twice as many statues as your opponents in multiplayer Capture the Statue game (minimum 3 statues)

Hail to the King
Win a King of the Hill game with at least 50% more points than the nearest opponent

Unclad Skies
Win a game of Rocket Riot with no rocket damage, before any of your opponents reach 50% fuel

Aggravated Assault
Finish defending a game of Assault without giving up a single Control Point

Master Player
Defeat someone who is already a Master Player

Master of Multiwinia
Win a game on every single map available

Explorer
Play at least 1 game on every map

Carnage
Kill over 2000 enemy Darwinians during a single game

BlitzMaster
Win a game of Blitzkrieg in under 5 minutes

Wrong Game
Nuke one of your allies spawn points during a co-operative game

Genocide
Kill a total of 1,000,000 enemy Multiwinians



"Master Player" is an interesting concept. I wonder who starts off with it to get the ball rolling.

"Genocide" looks like a hell of a lot of games to be played. That one is obviously for the long-term players.
