SPOILER THREAD: Hidden Objectives

[LarsPantsOnFars]

I figured that some people would want to get 100% on levels and this thread is here for that purpose. It seems that even if you do all the objectives there is still a hidden objective amongst the many.

All posts that follow this may contain Spoilers, you have been warned!

Please feel free to leave me Rep if this thread helped you at all.

Mission 1: Destination Luna:
- Objective 5) Zoom In on your planet by using the mouse wheel
---- Note: [Zoom out , let a few days pass, then zoom in]

Mission 2: The Red Planet
- Objective 15) Complete your Mission within 10 years

Mission 3: Venusion Divide
- Objective 16) Claim Venus for your own within 10 years
- Objective 17) Complete the Mission within 30 years

Like the idea of this thread and will add to it if people have not done so before me. Nice initiative Lars.

Thanks I wondered what those red question marks were.

*update*
I found that I had to use the Z and X keys to zoom in and out for the 5th secret objective of the 1st mission to show up. The mouse wheel wouldnt bring it up and I tried 3 times using the mouse wheel.

[LarsPantsOnFars]

Thanks spyre.
I will update the second post with all information that gets posted in this thread, or I find so it is easier for new thread watchers.

The zoom in objective appears after you have been zoomed out for a few days in game time (it is not based on number of zooms or mouse/keys differences)

[LarsPantsOnFars]

Thanks for the heads up.

[Dr Colossus]

Several later missions "Formations" and "Revolutions" (possibly more) have an objective where you can't go into negative funds.

[LarsPantsOnFars]

Thanks to whomever made this thread a sticky thread. I have been busy with work, but I look forward to getting back into the game.

[SaintXi]

I got my Mod hat from Valve so I could sticky these :)

Exodus to the stars hard has at least 2 hidden objectives - #5 and #27 which did not reveal themselves after I finished the mission. Anyone had any luck with those?

[Who Cares]

#27 - take over 10 planets with a fleet containing the Exodus.

[Rabid Rob]

My OCD is driving me nuts, I can't get #8 to pop open... What's the objective right after Research the power station!?

[SaintXi]

Jupiter #8 - Needs 1.01 Patch to open - due out 19th June
There was a bug that prevents this triggering, sorry.

Luckily I don't think this is holding anyone back from the 100% Achievement yet - the best score is still 80%

Thank you good sir, and sorry for making you post twice

I'll take a chill pill and go on to the next mission :D

[SaintXi]

No problem - I bet you will ace the patched objective 8 very quickly with all that extra practice ;)

Actually the best is 90%

He's gone crazy lately this man...

[Dr Colossus]

Achievement fever + unemployment is a dangerous combination...

[Rabid Rob]

Lol, I noticed 90% had become 0.0% instead of just 0%! 8)

In "Rise of the UEO," how do you accomplish Objective 8: Defend your colonies against attacks by your enemies. I certainly did that; in fact I was able to take over every moon as well as mercury. By the end I wasn't even being attacked by anyone.

Also, Objective 19 remains unattainable; any hints?

Also, first playthrough this level I was able to research and build those big ships (that cost 10 fuel) as well as lasers; subsequent playthroughs I never have that option.

[Rabid Rob]

I lost 8 when I got a "colony overan" message, which I couldn't avoid because there were 2 fleets, so I'll have to go back later. I don't recall 19, wish I could review which objectives I've seen heh.

I've been trying Call of the Wild, don't go broke, on Hard, but the bad guys keep showing up before I have an economy or fuel, can't seem to get both! Anyone have a hint there?

Ah just did it by starting on Vixen...

[SaintXi]

The 1.01 Patch is now live, so it is a good time to replay Jupiter and beat Objective #8

[Rabid Rob]

Well, uh, I'm winning before completing Ganymede or Callisto now! Heck, I just tested it, I don't even have to land on those planets and I can just go boom, win in 2112 with just big colonies on Europa.

lol... and 8 still hasn't revealed itself.

[Rhylos]

We need a full objectives list for all missions asap. This is kind of ridiculous to have to replay missions again and again. I'm regretting my purchase of this game more and more...

[Rabid Rob]

I like the mystery, but would like revealed objectives to always stay revealed so I can check on them for reference (eg folks asking what was 8 on mission X), and some method of slow reveal or hint, I'm not sure what more I can do to find that mission 8. I think I've won every way, both routes, not going broke, really fast, and even managed to die by martial law! That was neat 8)

Rhylos, I beat Call of the Wild by starting on Vixen for my initial economy, and getting Brush for my fleet fuel. The asians showed up right about then, and I had to reload the save so they only attacked Vixen the first few times, and didn't bring the cruiser, but I needed a max fleet of 1 frigate with fighter bays + defender fighters. After a few wins (did I mention the reloading already? 8) I got some improved tech that even let me beat the occasional cruiser, albeit with large casualties. Eventually I maxed out Brush and Vixen, and started taking planets and building up my fleet. Oh, I did all this w/o going broke, so if you are willing to go broke and get extra cash, you can expand bigger, better, faster :)

Incidentally, my call of the wild rating on hard is 38%, so you can do better than I did!

Anyone found Mission: Revolutions Objectives 13,14 yet? I've completely destroyed the rebellion and maxed out my city and stayed on budget and now what?

The dates are never random, but they do respond to how well you are playing and when you complete earlier objectives.

Rabid Rob - you have the right idea for Jupiter 8...
it is tricky getting all the worlds without triggering the end of the mission.

I believe the Jupiter mission is more easier to achieve all 4 planets, if you start with IO and Ganymede and try to make sure you can get an equal profit and population to control the planet and then move onto Europa and Calisto, which are the population booming planets.

A word of warning, it can be easy to go into dept if you do 2 planets at once, just warning you.

I honestly hate objectives i can't see, in my opinion, its poor design, if the objectives don't show themselves at all, i mean even after mission completion, they don't show you what they were.

I mean, why can't you be shown what they are at the start of the mission at the very least and i honestly prefer challenge, instead of mystery, its a 4x RTS, not CSI, when it comes to the storyline, i love mysteries, but i do NOT like mysterious objectives that refuse to show themselves.

I just want to know what i need to do to get the objective done, instead of randomly doing stuff and accidently finding it.
