That achieve is almost at 9% now spiff wow.. also..can confirm 100% you can get it by just saving at 11:50 pm waiting for the day to tick over, and then reloading 24 times XD perfectly balanced.
Their code just increments progress on day end and (presumably) resets if you get a game over, when it should be setting progress on the end of each day and giving achievement on Day 24
The 9% wasn't spiffs doing. He made this video awhile ago. At least before may because Beijing isn't a recommended city at the start which was added in May.
Honestly, Spiff being the first to get an achievement in some random obscure game is... Entirely expected. This man is a gaming monster fueled by tea and a blatant disregard for game balance
Oooh. We can get him to Fix Climate Change. "Did you Know it's Impossible to Grow Tea in the Middle of the Desert, and that Desert Expands Due to Climate Change?"
I think the achievements counter is looking for an event like the day ticking over. It not actually counting the days. So it's simply give achievements when counter hit 24. Add 1 when time is 00:01 or something. It's a quick a dirty programming job.
So as someone who has programmed a save system before, I'm assuming that the game saves achievement progress independently of game progress. When a day passes, it increments that counter by one and is probably only checking some ID programmed into the save file to let it do so. So when the game crashes, you go back in time, that value is still where it's at. When the next day passes it says to itself, "Same save file? No deaths? Looks good to me." Then, rather than checking what day you're on like a sensible system should do, it simply increments the achievement value again.
Let’s see here, Item duplication: check Save spamming: unintentional check Armed peasants horde: check Yep, typical Spiff. The power of Yorkshire Tea Gold truly has struck again.
Spiff says he armed his squads with AK-47 from a police station in Scotland... *Checking the internet for Scotland's police forces rifles... Remembering that it's Spiff we're talking about.* Yup, it checks out. They are AK-47s.
I can't ever recall seeing Spiff expertly exploit a game only to uncover an even more exquisite exploit in the process. I raise my cup of tea to you sir! Well done!
Edinburgh castle houses the Scottish National War Museum. There are loads of guns in it. Although they may be deactivated and there probably isn't any ammo for them. It also has a lot of swords and stuff, so you could probably get traditional with your zombie slaying if it came down to it.

I like how by the end, Spiff had essentially become what he had sword to destroy. A horde. An american horde apparently, seeing how their bellies were overflowing with food and each with a rifle in hand
I’ve been running a custom Zombicide RPG game based in Edinburgh and the surrounding area. Nice to see my hometown getting the acknowledgement it deserves for the ability to resist zombies.
I've found that Steam shows achievement completion percentage differently in different parts of the client. The global achievement list in Steam Community rounds to closest .0% (tenth of a percent) (so extremely rare achievements will show as 0.0% or 0%) Your achievements in the game library rounds up to .0% (tenth of a percent) (so even if you are the only one with an achievement it will always show as 0.1% or higher) Your rarest achievement showcase will round up to .00% (hundredth of a percent) (so even if you are the only one with an achievement it will always show as 0.01% or higher)
Actually if you think about it Quebec City is the perfect place to start. There is a Star Fort located near a Coast Guard base (guns, tools, possibly ships), a bunch of luxury hotels, a seaport, several grocery stores, a few old artillery pieces (Old muzzle loaded cannons) in a park, and government offices (communications, radio gear, armoured vans).
While I'm not British (yet), it was super fun to watch this as a guy actually living in Edinburgh and recognizing the locations. Also, I'm taking my "Life in the UK" test the next weekend, which if passed, I'll get one step closer of becoming a tea loving British citizen myself.
There's another glitch not shown here. If you 'build' a building with anything, including a partial like a warehouse, you can convert it into another type of building without paying resources. So you take a big building, partially convert it for say 5 wood and a dream, let it finish, you can then select something like a barn or research lab, cover the whole building, and it will ask for the resources to do so. If you cancel it, it will be whatever you were converting it to in full.
