King of Kings achievements

I wasn't happy with the Domination achievements. When the Dev Diary describing them was posted, I wrote in part that it had too many which "require a very large amount of blobbing. One or two of those per patch make sense, but there are far too many this time. Runs that are near world conquests get tedious for many players, myself included." None of my suggested changes were implemented, perhaps because I made them too late in the development process. So, this time around, I'm starting early ;). Anyway, I want to reiterate that only one or two achievements should require major blobbing to complete. Variety is key to a good set--include a couple easy ones, a few of medium difficulty, and two or three hard and or/time consuming ones. Further, they should all involve nations that are the focus of the expansion in question. Domination's "From Frankfurt to the Andes" is a perfect example of what not to include. It had nothing to do with the content of the expansion and, in addition, required extremely unnatural play. Finally, since mission trees play a major role in recent expansions, at least one achievement tied to the trees should be included. This doesn't have to mean finishing the entire tree. although it could. But a specific mission would also be fine.

Precisely, however when it comes to content Dev Diaries we pay a ton of attention to feedback and reiterate designs / numbers to a logical point, based on your feedback when we can! We of course studied the sentiment around Domination achievements and we tried hard to do a little better this time, as we usually do <3 Stay tuned and optimistic
