I don't think that is how speedruns work. I always saw then restart the clock with every attempt. Like I get it that you only get to unlock the achievement once but also seems strange to count all attempts time as one go.
Same. I was a necrophage purifier, so I just went “oh, yet another pre-FTL, let’s invade” without realizing it was earth, much less that it was human earth in the right era in a war.
I was just invading stuff as a xenophobe and earth had no armies for some reason. Edit: they were also in the atomic age and I still got the advancement

Stellaris must have a mechanism just to troll you because first time you start the game you get everything you asked for like good starting position,many resources or good digging sites but with huge disadvantages like spawning near a cosmic golliathian or trinyakis surrending expanding zone.
Video suggestion: simulate a Middle Earth galaxy. Do the Hobbits as Democratic Inward Perfectionists, Mordor as Dictatorial Fanatic Purifiers, Dwarves as Imperial Subterranean Miner Guilds, Elves as Imperial Pleasure Seekers/Masterful Crafters, Gondor as Imperial Ascensionists, Rohan as Imperial Environmentalists, and any others you can think of. I NEED TO SEE THIS
Everytime I try to hunt achievements, something weird happens. My empire becomes The Crisis and I enact EXTERMINATUS upon the galaxy. It's got to be a bug.
Would you be surprised if i said that this was only the second worst decision i've ever seen in speedrunning? There's a german gaming tv/yt channel that featured someone playing Zelda ALttP Randomizer. Dude didn't want to waste like 10 seconds on a particular chest towards the beginning. Which cost him iirc about 90 min at the end because it contained the boots! XD
I did this several patches ago, back when you could still see system names if you clicked survey and then moused over any given star. Don't remember the exact patch, but sol had a quirk of spawning on the edge of the galaxy. So I literally spent 2 hours spawning tiny galaxies with 1 other ai empire, and then mousing over stars at the edge of the galaxy. If I didn't see Sol, quit to main menu and try again. If I did, build 5 assault armies and send a sciene ship straight there, with the army following them. Got Earth in the wrong age twice, and restarted, then got it in WW2 on the 7th try. Got the achievement, then deleted the galaxy and moved on with my life. I'm sure if you trawled the PDX Stellaris forums long enough, you could find the post that I did that told me about that particular way to cheese the achievement, and then cross reference it with the dates various versions of Stellaris came out, so you could roll back to that patch. Not sure why you would, unless you REALLY want that 100%, but the option is there.
i see the rare crystals strat and I'm proposing one easier: loading the ironman save into multiplayer & go into observer mode to check if sol is near & if it is the age you need. Then race for it. You can easily switch from observer to playing and finish your achievements. Also if the save is ironman, multiplayer will not block achievements. One day my brother and his friend helped me eliminate slavery and once the achievement fired for me, each of them loaded my empire to grab it for themselves too. You can't look into Ironman save files because they're encrypted (unless observer mode bypass was the cheating you meant). I do think the way you did it was more interesting, though, since you actually used base game mechanics to your advantage. Also what I didn't know in ~a thousand hours in this game was that you can disable popup events thank you. my own speedruns are so, so much easier 😂
We need that spongebob bikini bottom build, a megacorp (with mr krabs) or empire (with posideon) obsessed with the krabby patty (food) as a aquatic toxoid species since they were used for nuclear testing You could do a lot of things with that, like overturned for rapid mutations, payback origin to get back at those humans for testing their nukes on you, so many fun ideas
I actually did this in my current game. Not iron mode so i did not get the acheivement. I was a fanatic egalitarian, militarist, reptilan empire and I was suprised how quickly the humans integrated into my civilization. When my 1st president finally died of old age, the only human official I hired was elected as his replacement. This just 40 years after I Invade Earth.
i tried getting this achievement multiple times; everytime i got sol III in the machine age, there were no armies, and invading it did not give me the achievement; so i stopped trying
yeah... there was a time when they needed the armies to be there to "represent a invasion during WW2" in this video there were no armies and the achievement popped anyway. guess they changed it
@@Ep3o yeah, Ironman was on, pretty much the same settings as you had @Shadow.24772 yeah, saw that after i wrote the comment; sadly, when i tried this a few months ago, it didn't work; maybe i try again tomorrow
Ultra-Achievement hunting is nice on Paradox games. I remember trying to get "On the Rhodes again" in EU4, which is super hard and I did this over the course of a week, with restarting so often, that I don't even know how often I did restart.
In small maps, looking for Earth would be easier if you always looked for trinary star systems, meaning that it's a chance they are called Alpha Centauri, and the Sol system always has Alpha Centauri within 1 or 2 hyperlane jumps of it on average.
I got this achieve by accident, I didn't know it was _that_ hard. I thought it was really cool the defense armies were named after the major powers of the war though when invading.
I accidentally received the achievement on a Devouring Swarm playthrough. Didn't even bother checking who the primitives were. When I realized, I laughed. What's worse than Nazi's? Probably bugs.
3:21 I think you can only make peace with the Space Amoebae if you’re Xenophile or Pacifist (or RS), and since you didn’t get the “learn to co-exist” then I’m assuming you have some other ethics.
once upon a time i found "Sol III" with a pre-ftl species on it, and managed to take over, but it was before i knew of the achievement (2019, i have a screenshot) and i believe once they actually discovered FTL, just in time to say hello to the devouring swarm heading their way (run by me) other then that i swear every time i find Sol.. the 3rd planet is either already a tomb world, or they die before i get there somehow. so i guess you could say i've been working on this achievement for 4+ years... minus some times i started on SOL to get another achievement.
You can speed up exploring the galaxy by going spiritualist and taking master crafters, so you can build an alloy processing center right away and not worry about unity or consumer goods. Take the Imperial Fiefdom origin, send an envoy to your overlord to improve relations, then negotiate for shared sensors 60 months in. They'll explore with science ships, as will the other vassals, which will explore the galaxy far faster than your 3 or 4 science ships will. This woris for more things than just this achievement, such as the worm, finding 4 holy worlds, etc.
There is a freeware of Axis and Allies called tripleA. One of the mods has the war of the worlds martians attack during a steampunk earth on the verge of WW1.
~1 hour is comparable for this achievement for when I tried getting 100%. I also did max hyperlanes and scintillating skin, which make it not as bad to search. I hope you don't get burned out achievement hunting and quit Stellaris like I did.
In my head, I've got 3 hours, for some reason...I feel this is both unnecessarily optimistic, while also seeing the video time, and suspect you get a wildly lucky start! Or, you know, that whole speed run thing that you just mentioned, hah.
I got this achievement on my second time playing the game by sheer luck. I was starting an extreme conquest game, saw Earth in this state and recognized it might have been wwii and had a laugh about it before invading and being shocked that I got an achievement for it. Only recently did I find out exactly how rare this achievement is.
Wow... I feel very lucky. My first time I did it using the same settings as you did after hearing about the achievement and got it on my first try, like within 5 minutes. A hour or more id probably stop lmao
just yesterday i thought il start a new save. Du to recent moving i have no internet yet.Thus was not able to start the usual ironmode game. Neighbor system to home system: Sol State of Sol: In the middle of ww2 Why paradox
Being friendly with space amoeba requires xenophile. It'll always show up as an option if you're xenophile. It gives you a project to research instead of doing tech, and that makes you friendly with them.
This was harder back in MY day. ^_^ Now they've added an event that allows Sol and other Pre-FTLS to knock themselves back to the stone age. And ways for you to force their progression. Have you ever seen the Tiles lad! Kidding aside I hope you enjoy getting all the trophies, it's a good journey.
I'm the luckest person in the world, because I got this achievment by accident, not knowing about it. Could be better if my luck wasn't only in such useless things
I just tried this, probably never played a game of Stellaris elligable for achivments before, and I got it on my first run in like 20 min lol Would have been faster if i hadnt messed up my First Contact Protocol settings and had to wait 4 in game years to attack Earth.
Don't you think it would be hard to invade earth whilst it is in ww2, since it is a period of heavy militarisation and everyone was ready to fight, a little bit like it would have been difficult to invade japan in the middle of the Sengoku era, a big civil war
They might be militarized, but their tech is so beneath even a starter empire that it's not even funny. Even the 3 starter corvettes are weapons of mass destruction capable of wipjng out the entire planet's defenses.
Hes going to claim it took minutes, it actually took days, but he only counts specifically parts of them where he actually specifically was actively playing: normal people would take literally years IRL because they aren't speed running it on purpose with mathmaticaly optimized strategy. (Haven't watched the video yet after where he said to guess, i will post my findings on this after I finish the video in a reply to this comment.)
Alas, your attempt was already doomed by then Either you took too long and humanity had already left the machine age, or they started in the early space age. Pre-FTL civilisations can only nuke themselves into tomb worlds during the atomic or early space ages, so while Earth's machine age world war is taking place, humanity can't blow itself up. A small mercy for what is still a brutal achievement.
42 tries... it took me 42 tries to get the right Sol. By attempt 36 I thought I'd try using the medieval version of Sol, actively improving its tech to machine. That did not work. You rly need to get the Sol that Spawn in machine age... God I am wondering how you are gonna get the one that also requires the brain slugs.
It makes no sense to include failed attempts in a speed run count because you can always start a new attempt at the run and not pass any progress from the failed attempts
Can you get this achievement when playing as “human aliens”? I have this achievement, and as far as I know, i’ve only played as “human aliens”. Didn’t know when I got it.
i tried this before and always have ironman mode on because sometimes i do get achievemens. but this always confuses me, do you just invade pre-ftl earth during the machine age and it'll just give you it? i thought there would always be a little notifcation stating that there was a war
There is indeed a notification, albeit a variation on the usual one. If you survey Earth when it starts the game in the machine age (and if it hasn't moved onto the atomic age yet), the notification telling you "there's a machine age society on this world" will also add that it is engulfed in a global war. The war lasts throughout this entire age, but will not start again if Earth leaves and returns to the machine age later.
Hey so I dont know much about Stelaris my Dad plays it a bit but I thought you played as the United Nations Hundred of years after you left earth so how can you return to earth during WW2
Honestly? I don't think there was enough pain. Be sure to put "No Good Deed..." and "There Be Dragons" higher on the list. We need HOURS of suffering compacted into a twenty minute video >:)
Hardest achievment ??? what about the one you need to get the galatron (Inscrutable Power) ? and the one you need to get the galatron through war (Raiders of the Lost Galatron)? Or the one to overthrown the emperor (Sic Semper Tyrannis)?
I usually play pacifist so this one was a real turd to get. Had to embrace away from my peaceful ways temporarily :( You will be peaceful or you will be made peaceful.

As an Stellaris Achievement Hunter I can guarantee you that this achievement isn't even in the top 5
How many hyperlanes does one man need
Yes
Can’t you search in the game map for the Sol system at the start? That’s not looking at the game files, but just lets you know if it exists
You cannot see the system names anymore until you’ve explored them!
I believe, the achievement would be easier with a stargazer build
Nevermind, you play with max hyperlane.
You can’t auto explore either with it!
For the bloody algorithm
Why there were no armies on earth? I though WW2 Earth had unique armies like the German Wehrmacht or US Armed Forces and Soviet Army etc.
i tried this before and always have ironman mode on because sometimes i do get achievemens.
but this always confuses me, do you just invade pre-ftl earth during the machine age and it'll just give you it? i thought there would always be a little notifcation stating that there was a war
Yeah it’s just if they’re in the machine age!
There is indeed a notification, albeit a variation on the usual one.
If you survey Earth when it starts the game in the machine age (and if it hasn't moved onto the atomic age yet), the notification telling you "there's a machine age society on this world" will also add that it is engulfed in a global war.
The war lasts throughout this entire age, but will not start again if Earth leaves and returns to the machine age later.
Hey so I dont know much about Stelaris my Dad plays it a bit but I thought you played as the United Nations Hundred of years after you left earth so how can you return to earth during WW2
Honestly? I don't think there was enough pain. Be sure to put "No Good Deed..." and "There Be Dragons" higher on the list. We need HOURS of suffering compacted into a twenty minute video >:)
ohh its that hard to get? oh well got it: 2020-06-15. Any how nice done! =)
roflmao this is based on harry turtledove
If only they got addicted to ginger
Would starting as xenophile to befriend space fauna help?
Hardest achievment ??? what about the one you need to get the galatron (Inscrutable Power) ? and the one you need to get the galatron through war (Raiders of the Lost Galatron)? Or the one to overthrown the emperor (Sic Semper Tyrannis)?
I usually play pacifist so this one was a real turd to get. Had to embrace away from my peaceful ways temporarily :(
You will be peaceful or you will be made peaceful.
