More on Achievements

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I love a dumb pun – and also playing for the lulz – so I am more than a little excited to have Steam Achievements enabled for Political Arena. We weren’t originally planning to add achievements this early, but our first major feature rollout will be a lot more interesting if you don’t max out your politicians’ skills (more on that rollout in the days and weeks to come) . IMO, the only real way to encourage that behavior is through ironman and achievements…so, here we are! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]
There are only a handful of achievements right now – they’re more meant to signify the types of achievements you can expect going forward: a mix of straightforward “firsts” (write a bill, pass a bill, etc), specific game events (“Joosing”) and…anarchy (cast the deciding vote against your own bill). [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]What kind of achievements would you like to see?
