Same here.

I had problems with this one:
The Paul Murphy Award for Excellence and Attractiveness
Read 500 articles in the Civilopedia.

I just clicked on all articles in the civilopedia, just to see if I could get it to trigger, but it didn't work that way. Maybe you really need to read them all?

Maybe the encyclopedia doesn't contain 500 articles

It does...

I've got the musketeers (I think your unit needs to be flanked, not his, although it's easy enough to get 3 muskets that are in a 369 pattern around a hex and flank both at the same time). Maybe you need the honor flanking bonus to make it a double though, idk.

However when I tried my little poney (get HBR first as Catherine) it never let me. I tried it on settler, duel map, no ruins, and somehow the settler AI beat me to it ?! Does the AI have to research it after you do?

Also, I purposefully did a circumnavigation on an archi map with a single unit and it didn't get me Magellan.

I began the Paul Murphy but got discouraged after the first tab

I've had the musketeers in the right pattern and attacked with the centre musket. I didn't have the honour flanking bonus though so maybe thet's it.

The "My little pony" achievement works. I got that one on king level fairly easily. It's a really straightforward and logical strategy for Russia actually. Just beeline for Horseback riding (which requires only Animal husbandray and the Wheel). Should be fairly simple on all but the highest levels.

Magellan is bugged. It doesn't work. The same goes for about 10-12 other achievements actually, like for example: "Tomb raider", "Cat fight" and "I have the power"

Overall the achievements seem to be quite amusing, but not worth putting any effort in. I've now finished 9 games, and already I have 70 achievements without putting any focussed effort into getting them. The one from Bismarck about conquering 10 barbarian camps and getting the barbarians to join your army actually took me completely by surprise a couple of days ago.

NEW_ACHIEVEMENT_NAME_137_11
NEW_ACHIEVEMENT_NAME_137_3
By the Waters of Babylon

Descriptions of the ones with names:
By the Waters of Babylon - Beat the game on any difficultly setting as Nebuchadnezzar II.
The Golden Horde - Beat the game on any difficultly setting as Genghis Khan.
Khan - Beat the Mongol scenario on any difficulty.
Great Khan - Beat the Mongol scenario on the King or harder difficulty level.
Supreme Khan - Beat the Mongol scenario on the Emperor or harder difficulty level.
Kublai Khan - Beat the Mongol scenario on the Immortal or harder difficulty level.
Genghis Khan - Beat the Mongol scenario on the Deity difficulty level.
Khaaan! - Run out of time to beat the Mongol scenario.

I don't know if any of these work yet though as I have beaten the game both with Nezzy and Gengis Kahn.

From the icons on the un-named ones the speculation is that they're for 2 new Civs soon to be released - probably Spain and Incans.

With any luck they might even fix the broken achievements!

It's a pretty fun pre-set map scenario in which you play the Mongol horde under Ghengis Khan. You start with about 5 or 6 mounted units and 1 great general (and 1 city) and you hav eto destroy 4 mayor civs in 100 turns.

I played around with it some and it's a nice scenario. Haven't gotten around to finishing it yet...
