How to get the Legendary strategist achievement ??

[★TM★M_Dubble ♔™.]

Can you still not get this achievement in the immortal empires map? Is it bugged or only available in Roc?

[KoboldUtopian]

I think most of the achievements only work on RoC. Could be wrong though.

I think I heard that still requires Domination Victory or Crisis Victory, not just Long Victory. Not 100% on that.

You can only get it with total domination if playing IE.

Otherwise you get it from RoC.

Who has time for that ever tho.

I mean, I usually win Domination Victory between turn 80 and 130, so it's not a crazy turn timer or something. Usually between 100-130, but my fastest is 83 and I could probably shave off a few turns.

You gotta ask that to CA. I too do not understand the reason.

How? Isn't Domination the one where you need to get 272 cities? You're capturing >3 cities a turn on average?

Correct.

Specifically I typically have 20+ armies and am capturing 10+ cities a turn for the last 5-10 turns there. So on turn 75 I might have only had 190ish cities captured, for example.

It starts out with more like one city every few turns, of course, but things ramp up dramatically.

The turn 83 was with Malekith (Dark Elves). Turn 128 with Vlad (Vampire Counts), turn 119 with Karl Franz (Empire), turn 110 with Alariella (High Elves). I could definitely have shaved off some time with Vlad and Karl, I was gunning for Long Victory and then Crisis victory but accidentally won Domination Victory first.

I most recently won turn 55 Long Victory as Skarsnik...if I pushed for Domination I imagine I could win that by turn 90ish at the latest with that start so far.

Now I thought about killing that owl. I'm not going to lie to you, I pondered bird murder. The wee hours of the morning. I wondered if I would have to pay a fine were that owl to turn up dead on his back, on my patio, with a steak knife in his chest. Right, a chalk outline around his body. A lolipop in an evidence baggy; seemingly untouched. The police questioning me.

-*in Brooklyn Accent*"Is this your steak knife Mr. Bailey?"
-*Normal voice* "I've never seeen it before in my life. Perhaps the bird was unhappy."

I would have killed that owl, don't think I wouldn't have. I've killed birds before, it wouldn't be the first time. I've killed two birds in my life, and I did it with one stone.

Are you sure about that ? I just got the long victory in IE and did not get the achievement. I'm willing to try the domination victory, but I'd like to be sure...

You WILL get it by doing a ROC campaign, which could be quicker than completing a domination in IE depending on your campaign so far.

I've seen a couple people saying domination works in IE recently but nothing official.

Part of the problem is that I suspect most people who have it got it from RoC initially. So it's harder for us to offer anything firm.

I considered explaining the method I used to consistently get the higher difficulty achievements in ROC.

Then I remembered that it was so long ago that the advice is probably completely wrong.

It should work in immortal just choose the chorf crisis its the easiest to beat

Just for information, I just got the achievement in IE by resolving a final crisis (wood elves)
