Achievements
Currently on track to 100% the game before official release. The only 2 achievements I have left are "Age against the Machine" and "Auto Everything" which are time intensive. A few tips for any achievement hunters out there...
- Terrif-eying require aprox. 28 Argus
- Kronos' Telephone Booth is gotten the quickest by moving your Economic guild (or whatever the economy upgrade building is called" over and over again
- All campaign achievements are piss easy on "Standard" difficulty (took around 6 hours)
- Poseidon's Revolt is easily achieved on the mission "More Bandits" after freeing the second set of prisoners and reloading a save multiple times
- Pair "Care and Calamity" and "Beastly Bulwark" achievements together for max efficiency
- The tiny map is your friend for villager killing achievements
- Turn OFF auto queue villagers in newly build town centers in your settings for the "Thorium Mining" achievement as this will ♥♥♥♥ up your progress on it
- "Hersir, Your Honor" and "No Time for Mortals" can be unlocked at the same time

Side Note: I love the allusions the achievements make to other media.
- Hoplite Heresy = Horus Heresy (WH40K)
- Prowl Patrol = Paw Patrol
- Praise the Sun = Solaire (Dark Souls)
- Thorium Mining = the element thorium
- Age Against the Machine = Rage Against the Machine (the band)
- Fastfood = the cheat code
- Hersir, Your Honor = Wordplay
- Terrif-eying = Wordplay
- Chonkers = Funny

Edit: Just got the 100% and a few more tips to come with it!
- "Age against the Machine" can be completed by continually reloading saves. So save when you're about to win by destroying a town center
- "Auto Everything" was the most annoying to do, but can be aided by playing on a giant map, having every town center but a single opponents producing villagers, and then killing them. ALSO, for the purposes of the achievement, caravans count as villagers so spam them as well

Great stuff. I'd like to add that for the "Thorium Mining" achievement, I was not getting it with the other norse gods, so I went with Thor and made nothing but dwarves and houses until I hit 100 dwarves, then it popped. Not sure if the villager auto queue was messing me up or if it was something else.

I also got it only after picking Thor.
I don't know if the starting human villagers of other Norse gods interfere with this achievement.

So far they all seem to be working for me? i have only 3 left, i am wondering if they will add more with the dlc's coming out though

"Norse Space Program" is a reference to the famous skyrim bug where being killed by a giant would occasionally launch you into the skybox.

1 multiplayer match is very easy, you don't have to win, and it doesn't have to be ranked (you can even just play with a friend against the AI)

yeah you make a SINGLE villager and you do not get the achieve even if you kill all vils and have 100 dwarves, had to redo it as i forgot an auto villager queue on a new tc =(

I have 2 left since yesterday, Defeat 100 ai, Build 10,000 villagers.
Waiting for the Chinese faction to release, get some of the achievements done during that campaign too.

With 19 Town Centers at 15 seconds per villager it takes roughly 2 hours and 15 minutes. Get grinding!
