If you have time and bandwidth to dl it, a lot of the Shogun 2 achievements are incredibly easy.
Total War: SHOGUN 2 - unlock Commander of Commoners - £0.10
Total War: SHOGUN 2 - unlock The Gathering Storm - £0.50
Total War: SHOGUN 2 - unlock Forged in the Hottest Flame - £0.50
from the main menu select multiplayer -> avatar conquest -> (skip tutorial) -> conquest map -> battle list -> host battle -> check classic battle
Here, put yourself in a team with 3 AI and only one AI on the other side. Click on the enemy AI's icon and right click all of their units to delete them. For your own army, use the Oda clan and at least 4 Oda Yari Ashigaru units and no cavalry. Now just start the game and put it on fast forward until your AI teammates defeat the enemy.
Total War: SHOGUN 2 - unlock Balanced Attacker - £0.25
Same thing, just make sure your army contains at least one of every unit type (sword infantry, cavalry, archer, matchlock, spear, naginata)
Total War: SHOGUN 2 - unlock Elusive Strike force - £0.50
Create a battle of you vs. one AI and only put a general and one other unit in your army. Select a map with a bit of forest like Koshinetsu ridge. Leave your general out in the open and walk your other unit into the forest until it is hidden. Wait 30 seconds, done.
All of these should only take a few minutes. I also managed to get
Total War: SHOGUN 2 - unlock Unnecessary Force - £0.10
Total War: SHOGUN 2 - unlock Redoubtable - £0.25
pretty easily.
And I still have no idea wtf I am doing in that game.

Thanks for this, I'll have a try later. I looked at the cheevos and got intimidated.
Magicians & Looters is okay I suppose. The writing is amusing. The .10 reward doesn't take real long to get, just play through until you get the fireball with the guy, the door will open from the fireball, stand under it and wait for it to drop on you. Took me about a half hour but I chose to change characters and you can probably get there sooner if you don't. The .20 reward is to beat the game though, no idea how long that will take.

Is Aura Kingdom rolling out region by region? Still not available for me in NA.
From the forum posts, it's not released anywhere, it shouldn't even be on the new release list.

I could use Super Time Force Ultra.

Thanks for the tip on Shogun 2. I hadn't even bothered to look into the rewards because I'd assumed they'd take ages to get.

Needs a bonus:
Crusader Kings II (up to 66% off) - get the game to load in under 46 minutes - £0.50
Crusader Kings II (up to 66% off) - get the game to load in under 46 minutes - £0.50
Did anyone get this already or know how to get them?
I mean, how do you sire children? I have no idea...
Some of the other rewards are pretty easy to get, like in 5m (apart from loading the game
)unlock The Marriage Game - £0.10 - Just merry someone...
What I did, started as King of Denmark, and married a random character
unlock Until Death Do Us Part - £0.20 - All you have to do is Assassinate your wife
I started with the Holy Roman Empire king, sped up the time so I'll get 250$ and assassinated my wife
Now, If you don't know this, you can only get achievements if you play Iron Man, so make sure you tick the little Iron Man button...
Everyone needs to go vote for Skulls of the Shogun for this week's head-2-head so that I will finally get around to playing it.

Aura Kingdom is up but doesn't show me as in-game even though I'm staring at the launcher. Hopefully it still counts since it shows up in my recently played list.
Well, they appear to be scanning my account three times a day now, which is nice. Unfortunately since that started, none of my achievements have shown up as tracked or rewarded. Oh Playfire, as soon as you fix something you break something else. But at least since they were scanned it seems more likely they will show up eventually.

The Indie-pendence code doesn't work with credit if anyone is wondering.

My Divinity achievements aren't registering, nothing tracked since I started unlocking them Tuesday 
I really don't want to write another support ticket.

Were the achievements added when it went from EA to full release? Because it looks like the usual playfire bug again where their database was not updated
https://www.playfire.com/game/divinity-original-sin-2/achievements
The game has no achievements there.
You'll probably have to send a ticket, like everyone else who wants Divinity rewards
It's baffling that they're still not checking this before adding rewards for games, it literally takes 30 seconds for each game (less if their site would load faster)

Yeahhh.. don't think I'm going to bother with it anymore. Doesn't seem worth it.

Seriously?! 10p?! I think that I'm out. It's a shame because just last night I was looking, with glee, at the £17 I'd accumulated and I was imagining using it for something like GTA, Arkham Knight or Beyond Earth.

If it is non-obvious, I normally look at the community guides (filter by achievement) and then the forums if there is nothing useful.
I think you will find most of it is covered.
Still better than nothing, but yeah, some of those Stealth Bastards ones especially would seem to take a lot of time.
Well, i got a response in 3 days compared to 3 weeks that some other people have posted. I didnt get the rewards, but I'll wait til monday to email back.

How difficult is Full House for Crusader Kings II? Is there someone I can pick who will put out 5 kids just automatically?

God, the rewards program is just sad now. Plus I still haven't heard a word out of support about the last batch of missing rewards since they first gave me their canned response weeks ago. Maybe the Steam sale rewards spoiled us all but it's been a really bad comedown.
I still don't see what their plan with this could have possibly been. Chopping the rewards to virtually nothing is almost the same as getting rid of the program altogether, which if they do is an acknowledgement that it didn't work. The sponsorship from PCGamesN seems to be gone, maybe they were the primary source of money? Maybe they thought they could convince the publishers to sponsor rewards? The bad customer service during the program and reduction in vouchers certainly hasn't won them any new GMG customers. And they have to understand that there's no loyalty among bargain hunters.

The DS2 Season Pass is finally available on GMG. Probably gonna wait for a coupon that works with credit (lol) until the first content pack releases and then spend the last of my credit on that. After that I'm out.

Yeah, thanks for the info. Have been waiting for it to show up. I guess I will do the same.

I made almost $40 so I'm fine with that. GTAV come to me.

Here's hoping it's a Steamworks game.
Yes and yes. Not sure how I will spend my credit if GTAV won't be sold as Steam key on GMG, want to get rid of it sooner than later :c

Social club will be there, but hope it is Steamworks as well. Otherwise, another game here I come.
spindoctor

Well GMG has great sales all the time so I'm sure we'll find a way to spend the credit. I do wish they'd bring back coupons stacking with credit though, even if it's only for pre-orders. That was always hands down the best deal available for any game before launch.
I did not know that (i know SAM can cause a ban)
I will be more careful in the future
Basically any suspicious activity can flag you. As using a pre-existing save can lead to a bunch of achievements unlocking all at once with a very limited amount of play time, that can result in a ban. Not worth the risk, especially considering the reduction in award amounts.
masterkajo

GMG now has DS2 Season Pass. Current vouchers don't allow credit use. Is it possible that there will be vouchers again that allow credit use?
It's possible, but it will probably be for a lower percent. Conversely, it's also possible they will put even tighter restrictions on credit. No one really knows at this point. Personally, if it's something you know you want, I'd just get it.
