Eye of the Tiger achievement

[Sir Bunting]

I think there's a problem with this achievement unlocking because I made all 3 enemies resign. Then I went back and betrayed blue, orange, and purple and killed them too. That didn't work either. There appears to be a white X on the mini-map where yellow's castle used to be. Has something gone wrong with the triggers preventing this achievement from unlocking?

I'd also like to know. The wording of this campaign is really really vague, so I don't know what they mean by what we have to do to get it X_X.

It unlocked for me...those bloody pirates took a long time to eliminate!

You need to kill green

Green is killed by a trigger that automatically defeats them once you build a castle on the Andaman

They're defeated on my save. Everyone's defeated except me and Gray, the Chola Empire. Maybe a trigger didn't work correctly because when I originally built my castle on the small island, I had to defeat green manually after that

Not sure what the poster above meant, because you indeed might have to defeat them manually (I had to). If they have ships spawned at the moment you build the castle, you still need to finish them off (maybe not in between spawns if you clear them off right away?). It was not by design but it turned out they were the last ones I defeated.

Otherwise, what I did was to: First do the yellow side quest, then it didn't take long for them to betray me, then I shellacked them (so I had done the side quest properly), then I proceeded to defeat Teal (doing the side quests), then killed off Purple out of concern for resource conservation, then accidentally got into a war with Blue and finished them off, then finished off Orange for the sake of it, then finished off Green. Worked out well.

(However I need to point out that, even after having betrayed and wiped out Orange, they kept changing their stances towards me to 'Ally', lol. Those kinds of scenarios aren't AoE's forte.)

The problem is with this achievement is that since every faction can potentially be hostile then for me it's only logical to think that you should just flatten everything.

Either way, I think the devs need to take a look at the triggers for that mission or at least clarify what exactly we're meant to do. As it is, it's currently too confusing.

The castle doesn't defeat green, it just prevents ships spawning from the edge of the map. You still need to destroy their structures (including their two smaller bases) and hunt down their ships.

Yesterday I killed all enemies and my last step was to build the castle on the island.
Bad idea because after the castle was build the game was won BEFORE green surrendered.

So I had to play the whole 2 hour game again just to first build the castle, wait until green surrenders and then kill blue.

So if you are still wondering: The best way to get this achievement is to kill blue last.

As it is, worth doing again, or wait to see if the Devs will fix/clarify stuff?

This issue is currently under investigation.

Got it today with no particular issue, the only "problem" is not to collect all 10 prestige points too early. Here's what I did:

1) Defeat yellow. Once they resign, switch to enemy and defeat them completely
2) Build castle near teal base on the west to get to Imperial
3) Purple betrays you soon after that, defeat them. Same thing when they switch alliance again, kill them
4) Defeat teal on land
5) Defeat blue
6) Build a castle near green base to make them resign

My error was probably to steal the relic from teal and/or build too many ships, because I had the 10 prestige points before attacking blue if I wanted to defeat green first.

Hey to follow up, I got it successfully after the most recent update. Note that the achievement unlocks upon clearing the campaign, not upon defeating all of the factions. Also I did the campaign all in one sitting, without ever loading a save. The bug where yellow's castle was destroyed but had a white box on the minimap did not happen this time. That particular castle goes through a couple triggers throughout the campaign where you capture it, gain control of it, then lose control of it and must destroy it. After purple betrayed me, I regained them as an ally, then manually set them to enemy and defeated them, along with orange. Defeating purple and orange might not have been necessary. As for blue, I allowed them to betray me before attacking them.

Here's the easiest way to unlock this Achievement, it took me an hour playing, 3 hours in-game :
1. Once you reach the main island, chop some wood near Grey TC. Hop into the TC manually too add the wood to your stockpile. Build a stone mining camp and mine some stone until you can build your own TC.
2. Set the game to x8 speed and boom. Kill roaming ennemy units with Pikemen. Research Blacksmith's upgrades.
3. Wipe out Yellow using 20 Pikemen, 20 Elephant Archer and 20 Armored Elephant. When destroying ennemies, don't bother microing: just send those three types of units in aggressive stance using an attack move targeting the edge of the ennemy base. At 8x speed it only takes a couple of minutes.
4. Wipe out Teal, collect all Gold piles. You can keep Teal's market alive to trade with it.
5. Build 10 docks at the bottom left corner and destroy teal's docks with 15 war galleys and 15 fire galleys. Use Fire ships for the towers. Delete the docks and this navy afterwards.
6. Build 10 docks east of Grey and use 25 war galleys and 10 fire galleys to wipe out all roaming warships and Green docks from the distance (using War Galleys, avoid the castle).
7. Destroy Green two secondary bases : top corner into the shallow and right side south of the starting location.
8. Now you need to reach Imperial Age, so send your envoy and the cart, delete all units given to you and build the castle in the flagged area, west of your base where teal used to be. Research the tech in the dock to protect your ships from sinking. You may need to kill Yellow again as they respawn. Make sure you don't have more than 40 navy at all time. Research all Blacksmiths, University and Dock upgrades. Don't forget to kill your own villagers and keep around 40 of them.
9. 10 Cannon galleons, 5 fire ships, 15 distance ships should be enough to wipe out Green's castle. Then build a castle within the flagged area near Green castle to stop the infinite spawn, wipe out Blue with the same comp.
10. Destroy teal's castle in Purple base and finally collect the Relic or build 40 navy to achieve 10/10 Prestige Points.
Key point: Orange, Grey and Purple can be kept alive as long as they are allies to unlock the achievement. Yellow, Blue, Teal and Green must be defeated. Make sure you own the castle standing on Orange base to keep them as ally (it might get destroyed by Green when you trigger them). Never build more than 40 warships before you killed all compulsory ennemies. Don't collect the relic for the same reason.
To summarize, order of fights: Yellow land and docks => Teal land => Teal's docks => Green two small bases and docks on their main base => Trigger the Envoy and build castle west in the flagged area => Protect Orange, kill Green, build castle in the flagged area near Green => Re-kill Yellow if needed => Kill Blue => Kill Teal's castle in Purple base => Collect Relic if needed or build 40 warships.

To add to the discussion, the May update has made the description of the achievement clearer: 'Defeated Srivijaya, Madurai, the Chalukyan Empire and the Pirates in Rajendra 3.'

This is much better than the vague 'Defeat all enemy factions in "Rising Star".'
