Great Destroyer badge

[Napoleon1971]

So, in my ever-completionist quest to have all badges on stuff like this, I'm down to only seven to go.

"Great Destroyer" seems to be one most consider impossible. I'm going to figure out how to do it.

Am I correct that the AI must build 10 wonders and I destroy them all? I know that the pre-existing ones don't count. Does the lighthouse of Alexandria count?

The AI does build wonders from time to time. Anyone else want to cooperate and try to figure out what prompts the AI to build them so we can put this badge on the "done" list?

My first try on this is I'm going to try and let the Seleukids and Mauryans really grow for a while so they have time to build 10 between them. I know big countries are most likely to build them when I've seen AI-built wonders.

I assume multi-player runs it doesn't allow badging and/or the other players don't count as AI too, eh? That would be too easy.

Why do this before I'm done all the rest? Because I assume its taking 3-10 runs to do it and I'd like to get some data now so I can mull it over while getting the rest. I also semi-want to make it a double run with "Unexpected Turn" because I think that would be fun.

You can't get the achievemnt becasue it is bugged... and you can't roll back as you can to get Cincinnatus and Aleac Iacta Est.

So even if you destroy 10 AI-built wonders it won't fire? I'd just heard that the problem was getting 10 AI-built wonders to happen at all.

afaik, yes

Alas.

Ah, well, I'll put it to last then and test it when I get there. I'm not far from being done the rest.

Just here to confirm that the achievement is 100% broken and impossible to complete.

Specifically instead of checking for the value of the variable, the code uses calc_if_true.
(Calc_if_true checks the number of valid triggers inside the expression. To get the achievement you would need 10 valid triggers, but the calc_if_true only contains one trigger.)

It's a silly little bug that would take me about 10 seconds to fix. But of course that would change the check sum and thus disable achievements altogether.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully someone at Steam/Paradox fixes it at some point.
