    * ATTN - POSSIBLY GLITCHED ACHIEVMENT - READ BELOW FOR INFORMATION TO HELP POSSIBLY UNLOCK IT. *

    This cheevo may not unlock when it is supposed to. I would recommend making a backup save before making the purchase of the 50 unit roster spots upgrade item from the armory. I am unsure if you can wait on the purchasing of the 6 squad spot upgrade as well. If you can wait on that one, I would try to make the purchase of both upgrades at the same time if possible. I'm thinking the upgrade availability is based on how far along you are in the storyline so if you wait on doing upgrades as long as possible, you may have a better chance of this unlocking.

    You will need to have the following unlocked and purchased before the achievement pops :

    5 squad spots - 1000 food.
    6 squad spots - 2000 food.
    25 unit roster - 1000 food.
    50 unit roster - 2000 food.

    In order to unlock the 50 unit roster you will need to progress along in the story about 1/2 the way to unlock the 50 unit roster spot . I was around 45-50 missions completed before the last item was shown to me for unlocking but I was also doing every mission possible since I was unsure what I needed to have done before it unlocked.

    Thanks eohjay for the exact food requirements for each level.

    Piston TLI noticed that this achievement also glitched on me too. I think the only work around is starting a new game with this one! angry No save from before the upgrade. Would have completed this as of now.

    Necromancer2k8I'll add in a comment about the possible glitchyness of this one as well. I'll guess you will need to have a few different saves and use test ones for the this cheevo and the elite ones as well. I do feel your pain though as I ended up running over 140 missions to finally finish this game :(

    eohjayThis glitched for me. When the upgrade became available I created a backup save in case it didn't unlock. It didn't. Reloaded save and it still didn't unlock. Reboot, moved save to different devixe, complete a few missions and tried a different xbox - no luck.

    The achievement for the incendiary equipment also never unlocked for me.

    2 different games in 2 days straight that glitched on me now requiring a new playthrough.

    If anyone determines a way to unlock this on the current playthrough please share!

    HesitantDuck32I got this last night but before I bought the upgrades I made sure I had recruited all 25 people and had 5000 food.

    planting42I had both the 6 slot and 25man options available. When I bought the 6 man slot it made the 25man upgrade disappear. Guess I'll be grinding the game a 2nd time cry

    TerrinI only had 21 people I got to the part where both the 6 man upgrade and the 50 man roster were available I bought both at the same time achievement popped

    Cidkia559I bought only the 5th squad spot early on and I kept it that way until I had well over 35 missions completed. I think I was around the 6th or 7th Main Story squad mission when I decided to go for the achievement and buy the rest of the upgrades in one go. I only had the roster filled up to 13 (unlocking the Medic bumps it up to 13) when I did this and the achievement popped. This means you don't have to have the whole roster filled up.
