Achievements for Campaign Victory

[Aggris Abernathy]

So if you want to get the achievements you need to either occupy all 272 settlements on the map or win against the crisis? The short and long victories do not count. Dang I am not getting all of those achievements :(

I believe the chaos Dwarf endgame crisis is the easiest one.

And if you really want, you can get the crisis as early as turn 20.

I'll try it out, thank yah.

I just finished up a Bretonnia campaign and yes, you need to hit all the domination victory requirements.

I've set the ultimate crisis to "long victory" for the sake of enjoying the campaign while not going absolutely mad for a "domination".

Finished 2 campaigns so far and i'm very surprised how easy crisis are, the final objectives were only "Capture [insert name] settlement". At that point I would B-Line for it and ignore anything else for the sake of wrapping up the campaign.

I have to wipe out all of Khemri and they retreated to a Dark Elf controlled donut of Ulthuan. Honestly it was pretty epic. Sorta like a Deus Vult D-day with skele bois everywhere. Gelt was in a Vietnam war with Chaos on the ass end of thew world while Karl Traveled from Kislev to Cathay one Chaos Dwarf settlement at a time until the orcs moved in.

Friendly reminder that in WH2 the Short and Long Victories both involved defeating the end-game crisis (the Chaos Invasion) and that meant some campaigns would literally be twiddling their thumbs waiting for that to start around turn 150.

Meanwhile you can win Domination Victory on Legendary with at least some factions turn 88 (or earlier, that's just my record) and I've won multiple Ultimate/Crisis victories by turn 120-130ish.

You got a super-cool buff for achieving the loser victories? You can´t say nothing happened...

I highly recommend this mod. You can get achievements by completeing the unqiue victory conditions, instead of the vanilla ultimate victory only.

Welcome to Total War. That's the game, to paint the map. Glad we are finally getting back to that, when achievments meant something.

Kids these days..

The Long Victory can often be completed by turn 60-80 so yes? Short and Long Victories are guideposts with some bonuses for completing them. The "You Won" screen has always only popped up for the Crisis or Domination Victories.

Meanwhile, for other factions like High Elves and Dark Elves, I can usually win Domination or Crisis Victory before Long Victory.

The map has 554 settlements last time anyone bothered to count them (might have changed, we likely have a few more now). So no, while you do need to take on more then half of the map you do not need to bother with every single settlement on the map.

Also, you don't need to occupy them. Its "Occupy, loot, raze or sack 272 different settlements" (so doing the same one more then once doesn't count again).


That said, if you want a shorter campaign i do recommend going for the ultimate victory instead (with suitable settings).

The only thing that's childish is pretending that adults with actual time on their hands should sit through dozens of hours finishing a campaign that's already won to get an achievement. It's not like the AI will ever stop you after you reach even the short victory, you've already done the hard part of every campaign at that point.

Don't necro threads from 2023 just to argue.
