Dark Age Rush or Early Adopter Achievement

This is a guide for those of u who have not yet gotten the achievement "Dark Age Rush or Early Adopter".

In the guide i will explain how i got the achievement in 2020 long after the DLCs and main game were released and bought.

Step 1

Navigate to your library and select "Age of Empires (2013)"

Step 2

Select "Support".

Step 3

Select a DLC. (When i did it i selected Rise of the Rajas)

Step 4

Select "I want to permanently remove this game from my account". Don't worry you will still own this DLC and will be able to get it back as soon as you get the achievement.

Step 5

Select "Ok, remove the listed games from my account permanently"



You should then get this message.

Step 6

Now launch Age of Empires and go to any campaign mission (I went to Joan of Arc 1st mission).

Lose the mission by deleting all your units etc.

As soon as you get the defeated message / return to the main menu the achievement should pop.

Step 7

Repeat step 1, 2 and 3.

Remember to re-select the same DLC.

Step 8

Select "It's not in my library".

Step 9

Select "Restore the previously removed package to my account".



You should then get this message.

Step 10

Celebrate because you finally have this dumb achievement. :D

Also feel free to leave a comment and i will do my best to help.

Also (again) if you need help getting the other achievements here is a good guide that will help.

I tried to get this achivement, but it did not work for me

There are many others who say it works. I can assure you it won't delete the game, and if it does, contact steam support and refer them to this guide. They will take down this guide and restore the game to your library.

If you are worried about the: "I want to permanently remove this game from my account", its not actually permanent. As you can see here.

I'm afraid, it will deleted my game

Follow the steps?

@Cyclonic, I am glad you got it. One hell of a stupid achievement. XD

[Cyclonic]

@VyKingPyro - Cheers but I already solved it and forgot to remove my comment. I uninstalled the game and unchecked all the DLC I had in "manage my DLC" in the steam library. Then I reinstalled. So yeah unticking the DLCs as you said there.

Same version as current was used. Play a campaign then unlocked it.
