Hoplite Heresy bugged?

[BOT Sirty]

I attempted to get the Hoplite Heresy achievement across two separate skirmish 1v1 games - once as Hades, and once as Zeus. In both games, I was unable to get the achievement.

The achievement only says "Win a match as Greeks without training Ranged Soldiers or Cavalry". From my understanding, the achievement should fire if you:
1. Play as a Greek Major god (Zeus, Hades, or Poseidon).
2. Win the game, regardless of victory condition.
3. At NO POINT in the game do you train any Cavalry or Ranged class units.

In the first game as Hades, while I did build an Archery Range, the only military units I trained were all available Heroes and Hoplites. However, when I won the game the achievement did not fire. I figured that maybe it was because one of the Hero units I trained was Chiron, who uses Pierce for his attack type.

In the second game as Zeus, the only units I trained were the Hero unit Jason and more Hoplites. Again, once I won the game the achievement did not fire.

This leads me to my question: is the achievement bugged? Or is it just poorly worded where "Soldiers" means Infantry units? I will attempt a game where I train no military units aside from Heroes and Myth units and report back my findings.

I have had similar issues with the 'no infantry' training achievement for the Norse and the 'only myth units and heroes' achievement for any civ - I think they may be collectively not working.

Alright its not bugged and here is why.
The issue is your Training heroes, Since Retold Heroes have been reworked, Many of the Greek heroes "Switch to range" when fighting flying units, so Heroes them self, are considered Range units.

I Just got the achievement, and trained nothing but Hoplites. So i think that is the other issue. The achievement should say train "ONLY Hoplites" to make this more clear.

I suggest doing a Skirmish map, on "Tiny" map, With Zeus, Age up fast, do all your techs, and build 3 Barracks, and do auto queue on Hoplities, with you getting the quick training time upgrade Asap

Hope this help.
