Last China portrait picture

Post by InaLeto »

Does anyone know if and how to unlock the last portrait picture at the current New Year event?
I have now played so many games against the standard AI that I am slowly getting tired of it ... If I normally click on the portrait picture that I want to activate, I can click on "Start" and the corresponding game mode opens. Nothing happens this time. As if clicking "Start" is bugged this time.
I have already got the achievement "Handelsmeister" ("trade master"?) unlocked, if that is the prerequisite for the portrait picture, but the picture and the mission remain as "to do".

Does anyone have the same experience, a solution or ideas?
China is my main, so I would have loved to get this picture ...

I started it, built wonders, resigned.

I started the quest going into each of the games below. Also recommend using cheat codes to speed up the building process :)

Game 1: China - Build 4
Game 2: China - build 1
Game 3: India - build 4
Game 4: India - build 1
Game 5: japan- build 4
Game 6: japan- build 1

Ty, but thats the fifth picture. The Problem i had, was the sixth picture:

Because I translated my thoughts for this thread into English, I came up with the idea to check the mission for the picture in English.

Problem found:

It is the LARGE! Silk Road ... - "large" is missing in the German description ...
So if anyone wonders what's going on, you're welcome! : D

At least you don't have to cope with what Maradona did in '86.

Not bugged for me, I could do all the challenges so far without problems. Aoe2 on the other hand had a huge issue resetting your progress every time you log off... but they fixed that now so all is good :smile:

FFA is the free for all options in skirmish it should be at the bottom of the game settings screen.

also note that you have to control all trading posts, including the native ones as well

No its just extremely annoying

It has to be the large version of the map
You have to fight in ffa mode
you have to control all TPs including the native one
and the AI has to be standard

apparently in other languages it didnt state the large silk road bit and caused a lot of problems
