Build caravans and send it to the farthest city. (*I heard you can take still get this with Mongols and using their Barbarian city skill, and having Foriegn cities convert to you.

so how is this game? Seems interesting

[King Pikmin]

You can do the one city achievement with the mongols barbarian thing, and culture flipping is also fine. It's also easiest to do it on the scenario "Beta Centauri"

42. That We May Live in Peace
Win the game by year 1000 AD on King difficulty or higher - 25 points

Ok, I just got this and it was fairly easy in the way I did it. Still save often, find the locations of the capitols, reload then go to them.

Chose the Aztecs (they heal after every battle).
Start a game on the Blitzkrieg scenario, group your three warriors together into an army, and pick on your nearest neighbour. Research bronze and put an army of archers into each city while your research your way up to knights. While you're doing this you want to pick off as many cities as you can with your army. You'll probably want to avoid the capitals until you have several knight armies since they always have extra defences. Don't worry about buildings, except possibly barracks, just focus on pumping out knights and then pick off the other races one by one.


I also got #43 doing it this way, cause you dont have time to switch goverments and its not needed.

[King Pikmin]

You can try using England for that, since feudalism only needs monarchy and horseback riding. Also, you can build the samurai wonder from the beginning.

Nice achievements, I'm picking the game up today or tomorrow =D
