Hello everyone. I apologize in advance for my English.
I have about 700 hours of playtime on Age of Empires 2 DE on PlayStation 5 witch all dlc except thelastchief. I’m having serious problems with the trophies where you have to grind things.
I’m referring to:
-
Wololo
-
Castle Crusher
-
Pleasant Peasant
-
Relic Hunter
I’ve done everything I can to collect 1,000 conversions, to destroy 50 castles, and everything else. I’ve tried custom games, skirmishes (with and without cheats), but above all, in 700 hours of campaigns, it’s literally impossible for me not to destroy 50 castles or build 1,000 farms.
Can someone tell me how to fix this, perhaps with some workaround?
After waiting months for the “Tour d’Italie” trophy, I’m missing these 4 trophies to complete everything.
can someone help me?
p.s.
Sorry for duplicating this thread, but I doubt I’ll ever get a response in the bug section .
It definitely sounds like a tracking issue. If you are sure that it’s those specific trophies only, your options are pretty limited. I would try logging in and out the network, changing your display pic or anything that might refresh it.
You probably have other tracking issues you haven’t noticed yet. There were 2 civilizations where winning with them didn’t count at all outside multiplayer and now there are 11 since the last patch that don’t count. I’m guessing fixing this issue is a lot more complicated then it is in my head and that’s why issues like this keep happening.
If you do find a solution which, I think is unfortunately waiting for it to be fixed, make sure you post back with what you did.
I’ve done everything you said. Connected to the internet, offline, skirmishes with and without cheats, custom game, 700 hours of campaigns. Nothing happens. What I don’t understand is that it’s a bug that isn’t reported by everyone, only by the unlucky ones.
Here, we weren’t talking about PlayStation yet; the trophy had requirements that have changed over time:

While here, problems were already being reported on Steam in 2023:

I don’t know what you’re referring to about the civilization victories. I haven’t had any problems with those trophies. The only annoying thing is that to unlock some of them, you have to win two games, not one; so for civilizations that aren’t part of the campaigns, I have to win twice in skirmishes.
It’s very frustrating because after 700 hours and not being able to even complete the platinum is a shame.
I’m confident you have a tracking error. I can never be sure in your case because I don’t have the PS5 version of the game but I do have the Steam, PC Pass and Xbox version of the game and the tracking errors I have appear on all versions.
The civilization victories show up under the statistic settings when you click on your AOE player icon in the upper right corner of the main menu. In my case it shows me as having 800 wins and 1702 games played. In reality, I have more like 1500 wins instead but the game doesn’t track wins with certain civilizations and the list of civilizations changes every time there is a patch. The last patch added 9 more civilizations where wins no longer count. What really sucks is that everything you do during that match also doesn’t count. Because of this I can NEVER unlock certain player icons unless I do it in a single session but then I lose that icon as soon as I start the game again when my wins are deleted.
Try doing a single player skirmish against AI as the Armenians. After your win with the Armenians, check your Total Wins. Now exit the game and load it up again and I bet that win will be gone but Total Games played will be the same. Check it out and let me know if that is the case on PS5.
I see you did mention English wasn’t your first language. As a Hail Mary I would try changing the language in the game to English and then back to your native language.
You could also confirm your issue is tracking related by building a massive amount of farms in one single player skirmish using two base civilizations for both you and the AI. If the trophy unlocks in that single session where you’ve built 1000 farms then you know it’s a tracking issue which would also confirm you have the same issue with the other trophies.
I did what you said in a single match with the Aztecs and I’m at 1500 conversions but the trophy hasn’t unlocked.
Are you saying that some matches played with certain civilizations don’t count things? And which would be the ones where it works? Are the Armenians not among them?
Regardless of this, in 700 hours of campaigns and with dozens of civilizations played (almost all of them) it is literally impossible not to have reached 1000 farms.
At this point I don’t know if every time there is a patch everything resets but as I said before I did 1500 conversions (in skirmish and without tricks) with the Aztecs but nothing works.
I still don’t understand what you mean about victories with some civilizations not working. I’m not so much interested in the history but in the trophies to earn on PS5 and to earn the trophy by having to win with a civilization you just need to do it twice in a skirmish (for civilizations where there is no campaign, otherwise it unlocks step by step).
I changed languages, skirmished with and without cheats, custom scenarios, campaigns.
The only thing I haven’t tried is making 1000 farms in a single game but if it doesn’t work like the conversions I’m just wasting hours of useless time. I will try this too but the problem of the others remains in that if we admit that everything must be done in ONE game, how will I ever unlock the 100 relics trophy since, as I understand it, the maximum is 81 in a huge map?
