the achievemnts here dont really have to be possible/realistic
most of them are guaranteed not to be added so why not have fun with some whacky achievement ideas?

  1. reference to civilisation games ↩︎

  2. pet:you dont eat it ↩︎

  3. Maybe there could be a feature where the game shows you lines eminating from your potential preys eyes and if you can follow a line you won’t be noticed until you come too close, by the way, how big is a typical blind spot? This is probably a terrible idea ↩︎

  4. like the car grille ↩︎

  5. that wouldn’t raise suspicions if that region(orbit) was where a previous battle took place and there were already stuff flying around, and they haven’t calculated that all those projectiles would converge on one spot ↩︎
