Statistics required
Basicaly, its aweful that you can't see how many multiwnians did you kill and on which maps have you won. People need stats, not just post-game, it makes achievements frustrating

I partially agree. For the "Explorer" and "Master of Multiwinia" achievements, you need to play/win on every map, and it is not really clear what counts as playing or winning a map (multiplayer? singleplayer against hard AI? Is it OK if your opponents quit?). It would be useful if the map selection would show you where the game thinks you already won/played.
That said, is it even possible to gain these two achievements? I can't see where your partial accomplishments are stored, and I kept extensive notes and I'm pretty sure I already played on every map against real humans who stayed to the end, but don't have the Explorer achievement yet.
Same goes for the kill count, of course. But while the played/won stats help you plan what you do next, to get the Genocide achievement, you just have to play (preferably defend on Assault), so apart from showing you how far you got, there's no benefit.

I wish achievements could be extended to those without Steam, as well.
I pre-ordered, but the fact only Steam players get achievements feels almost like I'm being punished for not helping Valve take over the world, and get enough money to launch a rocket shaped like Gordon Freeman's head to establish their secret moon-base.

Email me a screenshot of you completing one of the achievement objectives and I'll email you back a little badge saying "well done, you can play the game!". I don't really see why everyone is so hung up about not getting achievements in the non-steam version.Aegis Tyra wrote:I wish achievements could be extended to those without Steam, as well.

(I do agree with the OP though)
By that merit, why have achievements in the Steam version?NukeLord wrote:Email me a screenshot of you completing one of the achievement objectives and I'll email you back a little badge saying "well done, you can play the game!".

I do not really understand why you care about Steam achievements : they are not really a part of the game... Moreover you can find some tools on Internet who may unlock any Steam achievement.
If you want achievements in Multiwinia, ask for real ones !
And back to the topic : yes we need in-game stats !!

First off - tools? show me at least 1, never even heard.
Second - Real ones? what do you mean by that?
third - yes they are a part of game, if they werent, they would probably woudnt be there

Assuming of course that not all the Steam Achievements are based around multiplayer (as assumption I have to make, since I don't have them). The in my opinion the achievements add value to the Single player game; which, as it stands is nothing more then a simple and ineffective "practice mode". Yes, I know multiwinia is based on multiplayer, but it would be nice to know how fast/well I perform on the maps single player for my own person achievement when I am not interested/unable to play it multiplayer.
Steam achievements add something, their value of course depends on those that have them. Those like me that pre-ordered and got a nice tin, miss out on them and as tiny as they may be, its still something I don't have. I am sure you can understand the need to have something you can't
