Paradise Found Steam Achievements<\/h1>\n

The Paradise Found Scenario for Civilization 5 comes with 4 playable civilizations (Samoa, Tahiti, Hiva, Tonga) and 9 Steam Achievements. While these achievements are quite diverse, they don’t represent much of a challenge. It’s mainly 4 discovery achievements, winning with each faction and the Captain Cook achievement, which is a bit weird anyways… Below you’ll get an overview of the achievements followed by the Paradise Found Strategy guide (which should at least allow you to win the game(s) on Emperor difficulty. With regards to the discovery achievements – have a look at the Paradise Found map<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Searching\"Civilization<\/a>Find New Zealand in a random map game.<\/p>\n

Unlocked: 16 Feb 2015 @ 12:24am<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

All you have to do is scout the ocean – sooner or later you’ll find New Zealand, which is a nice “civilizationized” version of… well… New Zealand.<\/p>\n

In my first games I settled New Zealand, because it’s great land. But then again: Every single city is a drain on your happiness, so better stick to your little islands and be happy with it (literally).<\/p>\n

\"Book\"Civilization<\/a>Find Hawaii in a random map game.<\/p>\n

Unlocked: 16 Feb 2015 @ 1:53am<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The second scouting achievement. You can do all scouting achievements in one game, if only you build enough caravels. I did this in my game a Tahiti as their units have +1 Visibility, which makes scouting much easier!<\/p>\n

Hawaii would be a nice spot to settle. It has Marble and thus increases your happiness, if you don’t let your new city grow too much!<\/p>\n

\"Heads\"Civilization<\/a>Find Easter Island in a random map game.<\/p>\n

Unlocked: 16 Feb 2015 @ 2:34am<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The Easter Island is the smallest island to discover in this set of Steam Achievements. That’s why I spotted it only very late, having almost uncovered the entire map.<\/p>\n

Instead of doing that, you might as well leave this for your South Pacific game. There the Easter Island is in the same location every time and you should be able to find it easily.<\/p>\n

\"Do\"Civilization<\/a>Encounter Captain Cook.<\/p>\n

Unlocked: 16 Feb 2015 @ 12:08am<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

I hope that with later games I’ll find out how this is being triggered. I got it twice so far, but without being aware of having done anything special. Maybe it was just the year? That would mean you’d just have to survive a certain number of turns.<\/p>\n

Two conclusions so far: First is I still have no idea how this Paradise Found scenario event triggers. I’ve once had it in turn 95 (1250 AD), three times in turn 110 (1400 AD) and my last game only in turn 122 (1510 AD). Second conclusion is I won’t replay this scenario often enough to find out…<\/p>\n

This is quite interesting: Actually I lost<\/strong> the scenario, but the achievement triggered nonetheless. Good for me, because I really did not want to play it yet another time.<\/p>\n

Paradise Found Strategy<\/h1>\n

Here are some screenshots of my first game on Deity – I was massively outranked in all regards: Social policies (the leader needed 3 more when I needed 10), technology (I was so far behind, my Maori warriors fought Riflemen), military strength (they were outnumbered by Riflemen<\/strong>), number of cities (and outproduced). With the primitive level you start on and no special traits to leverage, I wouldn’t know how to win this scenario on Deity! Fortunately it’s not required for any of the Steam Achievements.<\/p>\n
