    This isn't a solution, but a link to an incredible one, ThermalStone's walkthrough for this is an incredible help on the missions.

    AbyssalOrc33The link is incorrect. It leads to Gamefaqs but not the guide, you get 404 error. Here is the correct link https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/xbox360/938058-band-of-bugs/fa...

    Note - gold medals earned in DLC levels don't count. To unlock this achievement, you must get gold or platinum medals on all 20 story missions in the "Maal's Story" campaign.

    To get a gold or better, you must acquire enough points. You score points based on the time it took you to complete a level, how many turns it took, how many enemies you killed, and you lose points for each of your own bugs that die.

    Getting a gold is usually pretty straightforward once you're familiar with each level. Bear the following points in mind:

    (1): Don't sit around thinking too much - the quicker the better.
    (2): Try not to waste any moves - the fewer moves to complete the level, the better
    (3): Avoid having any of your own bugs die AT ALL COSTS. Use your Healer, and healing items if necessary.
    (4): Kill as many enemy bugs as possible, but as a secondary objective. For levels where you have a different win-condition, focus on fulfilling that condition, and kill any enemies as necessary.

    EDIT - Note, if you finish a playthrough of "Maal's Story", you can just replay the individual levels you didn't get a gold or platinum on.

    Epsilon ThetaI used a FAQ on Gamefaqs to get this achievement. There is only one by ThermalStone. He describes every mission perfectly and explains how to quickly and efficiently win the mission. Finished most of them with Platinum Medals that way!

    FafhrddI completed this game once and I did not get 20 gold metals, which means I need to get all levels with 20 golds... Can I just go back and do the levels I missed? Is there a way to see which ones I got gold in and not?

    Spiffing WotWot@ Fahfrdd - yes, you can just replay the single levels that you didn't get gold or platinum on during your first run-through.
