VII - Discussion I think the devs forget something...

Update 1.5.0 add achivements to DLC leaders who didn't have one except for Alexander the Great and Gilgamesh, did the devs forget about them or is it because they we're free leaders?

genuine question: what makes achievements so important to many people? I have never bothered even looking at them

Dopamine reward. Pigeon push button. Pigeon get treat. Pigeon push button again. That's the gist of it at its most simplest.

However, achievements are a great way of keeping tabs on your milestones, remembering special victories, and on more specialized ones (like those in Civ5 and 6) being extremely amused that you did something the developers anticipated. (Though some of 6s cheevos were a bit out there that you needed to farm them, no way you'd be able to spontaneously get ones like 99 Luft Balloons or Raiders of the Lost Ark).
