Achievement List Ideas

[Caleb-Cohen]

Achievement Ideas Collection

Related infrastructure: #3144

Hello, I just started working on #3144 so I wanted to throw out a list of achievement ideas that I had in mind for feedback while I build the infrastructure to make even some of these feasible. I do not expect all (or even most) of these to be implemented. Some may be too complex to build, and others may not fit the vision of the project. This is simply a collection of ideas in one place for discussion and reference.

Additionally, I haven't done exhaustive diligence on whether every threshold is perfectly tuned, if a requirement says "5 million gold" it could just as easily be 15 million, or if something says "2 minutes" it might work better at 5. The concept of the achievement matters more than the specific numbers. I'm open to adjusting any of the variables.

Feel free to share which ones you really liked or don't like, or any other achievement ideas so I can get robust infrastructure in place. Thanks!
