    CAUTION: If you can't fight for a faction this is most likely due to you following the main quest line before siding with a faction.

    Just continue and make a peace treaty (Main Quest) between the Legion and the Stormcloaks.
    - If you side with the Stormcloaks then Markarth must remain an Imperial city and you will be guided to take Fort Sungard fairly early on. After capturing the fort the achievement will pop.
    - If you side with the Imperials then Riften must remain a Stormcloak city and you will be told to capture Fort Greenway.
    Upon completing the main quest the two dominant factions will reignite the war once again allowing you to gain your achievements.


    To join the Legion travel to Solitude and enter Castle Dour and speak to General Tullis.
    To join the Stormcloaks travel to Windhelm and enter the Palace of the Kings and speak to Ulfric Stormcloak.



    This achievement is for playing halfway through either side's story-line and capture a fortress. Which is either Fort Sungard or Fort Greenwall depending on who you side with.


    I'm not being lazy here it's just that there are many variables to the quest lines that would make this guide far too unorganized

    xx ozed xxI don't know if a patch fixed this but i first finished the main quests and then do this quest with no problem. Maybe this achievement is not missable now.

    CyruzDgamerI was able to speak with Galmar Stone-Fist in Windhelm about joining the Stormcloaks, which gave me the first quest in the line.

    EDIT: nvm this is totally missable.

    Warning: This is missable. If you complete the main story before starting the Faction questline you must be able to take either Markarth or Riften by force. Without spoilers this will become clear in a late game non-fighting quest.
