    in a random way, after you conquer an outpost, Pagan will send a few bad guys to try to conquer the outpost back.
    It's unuseful to wait near the outpost, because it's random and you can wait a lot for nothing.
    Since outpost are also quick travel point, once or another going away from the outpost you'll be advised to run back and kill all the bad guys.

    Actually you don't have to kill them all, just a few (I never failed on this): after a certain number of foes in the dust the survivors will retire and after 3 times you'll unlock the achievo.


    UPDATE (thanks to lxl Linc lxl)
    This is also missable if you liberate the fortresses before getting 3


    UPDATE 2 (thanks to xDeMiZEx86 )
    If you conquered all the outpost and all the fortress, you can still reset them all even if you're in the post-game

    Lion FreakAn alternative if you conquer all fortresses is to reset your outposts and fortresses by going to the 'Gameplay (Campaign)' and at the bottom there is an option to reset outposts which also resets all fortresses.

    FoogaI've liberated 2 fortresses, but I'm positive it's still obtainable without resetting. I remember reading the retaliation parties are by region, so when I get near Pagan and Yuma's areas, I should be able to finish it there.

    zeno2kYou're absolute right: you just have to avoid liberating the 4 fortress.
    Try travelling to the liberated outpost near the Yuma's one.
    In my playthrough I've been attacked almost 10 times before finishing the main quest.

    If you have only liberated one outpost in the south or north, you can fast travel to that outpost every 10 minutes or so, then leave the area which should trigger the invasion.

    Since it is the only outpost you have, the game will always pick that one.
