    Default Attaining achievements with Mods

    Would anyone know if it's possible to attain the game achievements while playing the game with a mod? I'd like to knock some achievements out of the way(finishing europe campaigns with different factions), but YOU MODDERS have spoiled me so much, that i do not want to play the game in its vanilla form anymore. The problem is i dont know if any achievement will unlock without the game being played in its vanilla form. Thank you in advance for any info!

    Yes, you still can receive them with mods. All the achievements I've received (with the exception of the first few in the week following the game's release) were received with mods installed.

    If you are having troubles with achivements it's not likely to be the mods, more likely Steam. Sometimes I even get achievements at random!

    Le Chevalier, it's not that i have trouble attaining the achievements, it's just that i would hate to start a new campaign using a mod with the sole intention of trying to gain an achievement, only to find out that i could not get the achievement without playing the game in the vanilla version.

    Thas funny. I was given the people's crown recently; but I am almost positive my approval rating was only in the 80's when I got it... and I have mods as well (none that affect campaign approval rates).

    That is very weird. I don't use mods on Napoleon.

    Achievments are pointless in my opinion.

    Hey, at least you added "in my opinion" so that's a perfectly valid statement. I've used achievements as something to race for with friends, so it added some competition to the game in addition to MP for my friends that do almost all SP. And I can tell by my friends' achievements how much free time they've had lately or how busy they are. They aren't a reason I buy any game, but they are a nice little addition, like the parsley on a plate of food.

    The fact that you can achieve them after modding the game means they don't really count for your level of play, as you could mod at least the SP portions to make them incredibly easy.

    I don't really mind whether I get the achievment or not. I just play for fun.
