HELP? Mount Vesuvius (Gathering storm) lose 6 population achievement

[Chronostorm]

Hi! Has anyone finished this one yet? I'm down to my last achievement of Gathering Storm, so far it's the trickiest one, or maybe I'm just unlucky with the spawns.

The achievement is this:

And the Walls Kept Tumbling Down
Have your Roman city lose 6 population from one Vesuvius eruption

Vesuvius rarely spawns on the maps I make, and even when it spawned it took till 2090 AD (Turn 292) for it to erupt only once (Megacolossal eruption) 22% chance eruption with 25 active volcano's. My settings were on the highest disaster intensity (4). So after 292 turns it only destroyed 4 of my population, the amount of citizens living in my city was 33. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Note that it's the second map I've tried it on.

How do it get population loss 6, do I need more citizens living in my city? Or is it just a matter of RNG luck?

Make sure those citizens are working the tiles that the volcano erupts on. Only those can die.

Thanks for the reply, do you need 6 tiles being worked on to lose 6 population ?

[**ⓈHAⓇK**]

yes 6 tiles that are being worked and inside the damage zone. Other way to loose six is from city center being in the blast zone but there isnt a perk like the worked tiles.

Yeh you need a vesuv volcano which is clear all the way around it, most of the ones I get are on end of mountains, so you only get 4-5 zones to work. However, if you set storms to max, it affects out to 2 tiles from volcano. I've just had 6 people die from a normal catastrophic volcano eruption, so it should work fine for vesuv.
