How to unlock the Xenocide achievement

    Playing through the story campaign on easy you'll end up with about 10,000 aliens killed. If you are going for the Master Strategist achievement which requires 100 gold medals, you should get this achievement on the way. If you're looking for the quickest way I recommend playing through levels on Easy + Practice so you get extra starting resources. Below are the number of waves and aliens I got when chasing this. Level 02, 12, and 20 were the ones I focused on most.

    00 - 10 waves, 89 aliens
    01 - 20 waves, 387 aliens
    02 - 20 waves, 403 aliens
    03 - 25 waves, 498 aliens
    04 - 20 waves, 294 aliens
    05 - 30 waves, 486 aliens
    06 - 30 waves, 409 aliens
    07 - 30 waves, 444 aliens
    08 - 30 waves, 404 aliens
    09 - 30 waves, 371 aliens
    10 - 30 waves, 407 aliens
    11 - 25 waves, 476 aliens
    12 - 30 waves, 620 aliens
    13 - 30 waves, 395 aliens
    14 - 25 waves, 419 aliens
    15 - 30 waves, 491 aliens
    16 - 30 waves, 560 aliens
    17 - 30 waves, 497 aliens
    18 - 30 waves, 521 aliens
    19 - 35 waves, 606 aliens
    20 - 35 waves, 785 aliens

    Another good option is to play the Grinder game type on easy difficulty which consist of 100 waves of the easiest alien type, Walkers. You can beat these with a handful of fully upgraded concussion towers (6-10) and a strategically placed fully upgraded temporal tower.

    12 - 100 waves, 1876 aliens
    15 - 100 waves, 1876 aliens
    17 - 100 waves, 1876 aliens

    E vee dubThanks for making the list of aliens kills per mission.

    What's the Alphabet Challenge?
    Unlock 26 achievements each starting with a different letter?
    Who issued the challenge? Probably something stoopid.

    EnduroThanks for posting this. This will be my 12th Achievement in the 12th Day of Christmas Challenge, but it's going to take awhile. Fortunately, I love this game.
