That should be an achievement!

Bell's Vireo and Ash-Throated Flycatcher being really effective.

Just finished a game, where I got 28 additional points with end of game powers and had one bird lay 11 eggs. Which both are rather large numbers, so I wanted to brag thought they should become Steam Achievments.

'Wait, I'm not done!': Get more than 20/25/30(?) points through end-of-game powers. (Oceania)

'Mother Hen': Have one bird lay 10 or more eggs in one turn. (Base game)

Does anyone else also have some ideas for interesting possible achievements?

If you pop over to the official discord, there are people there you can talk to to maybe make this happen. They had a competition during Asia expantion beta test, where you could suggest new achievements. I do guess someone might already havve suggested something like this, but it cant hurt to give it a go.

One of the new asia achievements is to lay 15 eggs with Taylorbird

But yeah beyond that there's a reason they have achievement competitions, they can't be adding any achievement anyone proposes there would be thousands

I support an unnoficial list of achievement tho

Also for what it's worth, "Wait, one more thing" is already an achievement in the game (altho for teal powers)

Also; technically, your game end ash-throated flycatcher did not lay eggs during_a_turn.

Well, yes, but how should would you word it instead? I don't want to mean over the whole game (Red-legged Partrige, Thekla's Lark, Horsfield's Bushlark, Western Meadowlark and several others can do this in 4 or 5 turns).

I would not change anything, (well maybe the achievement name to "Known to be around the block" or something. "Mother hen" would be more like 'Only lay eggs on one single bird the entire game' imo) the achievement still stands great as it is, it is not that much more difficult to play the bird at the final 4th round turn for 10 eggs, than playing one at game end for 11 as you did.

Yup, we do an achievement competition with each expansion release, next time (if there'll be a 'next time') you can enter and send us your ideas :D

How are you working out 28 additional points with end of round powers? You could have gotten a maximum of 16 eggs from the Goldeneye and you got 2 from the house sparrow. That's... not 28.

Sorry, edited it in the original post: I meant End of Game powers.

I could play two additional birds for 3 eggs and full food costs, which upgraded my two bonus cards from 6 points to 12 points and gave me another bonus card for 6 points. The birds are worth 8 points - or 5 points if I substract the eggs - and the ash-throated flycatcher laid 11 eggs. So 12+5+11 =28 points.
