Using MMA for achievements

[Dialecticus]

BB_Ravel confirmed in this thread that using MMA prevents the player from getting certain achievements. I have two questions regarding this bug:

• Can we use MMA just to send troops to the adventure?
• What is the list of achievements that are affected by the bug? Or at least which types of achievements? The following types are the possible candidates, but is this list complete, or even correct:
  • Complete X using only Y (eg. "Thousads of Them" in Traitors)
  • Complete X without using any Y (eg. "Overkill" in Witch of the Swamp)
  • Complete X without using any ranged units (eg. "Close-up Blessings" in The Dark Priests)
  What about the achievements that put restriction on lost troops, are they affected too by MMA:
  • Complete X losing only Y (eg. "Incorruptible Minds" in The Dark Priests)
  • Complete X without losing any Y (eg. "Precious Horses" in Traitors)

I was playing Outlaws this morning using MMA. Achivements - Adventures - Outlaws - completed 100%

Thanks for the reply. So, achievements of type "Complete X losing less than Y Z" are not affected by MMA.

Dark Priests, 2 players, both players took only recruits. Fails the "use no ranged units" test (achievement doesn't complete), even though none were even taken to the island, nevermind used. Presumably this is also due to mma as we both had one.

I think it is only where you can't loose (or use) any Cavalry i.e. the attack by the MA counts as a cavalry attack. It may also cause a problem where the task is to use no ranged units (as Eeyore confirms above).

Outlaws is ok as the task is just loose less than x Rs or less than x total troops.


Looking at the adv's I have done I had a problem using the MA on WOTS, Traitors and SFTR.

I red on other threads that MMA is treated as ranged or calvary unit so probably because of that some adventure achievements can not be completed 100%.
And one of the moderator mention that this is a known bugg

Achievement 'Expert Raid' (Complete "The Nords" without using any milita) was not counted despite neither me nor invited player on loot spot sent any milita. MoMA was used once by me (LS player used a veteran with 2R and 2C).
No S or ES was lost - achievements for that was counted for both of us.
LS player went offline before I finished the adv. Loki's Trickery got counted for me but (yet) not for LS player (still offline).

And now LS player has come online, the 'Expert Raid' achievement has been counted for him, but not for me, despite he's not been playing any other Nords than mine.

At 3rd attempt, leaving MoMA at home, 'Expert Raid' got completed.

Used MoMA and an Assassin in DB to get 'Cold Darkness' done.. Guess what.. Didn't work.. =D

MMA in a VtV does not work

IOTP use nothing but recruits - I used MMA and the achievement did not complete.
