    VERY IMPORTANT: TO MAKE SURE YOU DONT MISS THIS ACHIEVMENT, DO THIS BEFORE DOING THE PEASE TREATY FOR THE MAIN STORYLINE...

    I spent hours for finding out why it wasnt unlocked for me, so i had to load back and start all over...



    -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.

    zGUNZ A BLAZINzI completed the main quest and still got the war hero achievement. It popped up later when I arrived at the Haafingar Stormcloak Camp.

    Saw3d 0ffMAKE SURE to save your game before liberating the fort. This took me 2 tries to unlock. It simply did not pop the first time. Luckily I had a save.

    This issue is also present on the 360 version of the game.

    Apostle92627I tried twice and got nothing.

    Edit: I tried switching sides (reloaded to just before I started the Civil War questline), and that didn't even work. I have not don't the peace treaty. Anyone have a workaround? angry

    UPDATE: I turned the game off (I had given up trying to get the achievement) to watch TV, and my phone notified me that I got the achievement. clap

    Everything else with his/hers guide is fine, however if you are like me and want to make sure that you won't miss anything by writing it down. The mission the person is referring to is called Season Unending, this mission is at the start of Act III or after the mission Alduin's Bane the last mission of Act II. I say this because that is where the peace treaty takes place and isn't actually a mission called Peace Treaty.
    Personally I'd recommend not doing Alduin's Bane just in case and to make sure you cover yourself, however each their own. As I said, there isn't anything else wrong with their guide, just wanted to help fellow gamers out. Good luck on your quest Dovahkiin.

    DarthcheweeTechnically it is a branch quest off of The Fallen, because using Dragonreach requires a truce which then gets marked as its own quest

    Apostle92627I'm struggling to figure out this achievement. I tried multiple times on both sides and got nothing. But I already had Alduin's Bane completed (not the peace treaty). So I tried doing what you suggested and loaded a file to back before I finished Alduin's Wall. That STILL didn't work! That was gonna be the first time I got every achievement in this game legit. The only time I got 100% was on PC using console commands. I've never got 100% on console. I'm extremely disappointed.

    This achievement is no longer missable, as far as I can tell. If you join the Stormcloaks and award Markarth to them during the peace treaty (thus skipping Fort Sungard), you'll eventually have to go fight for Fort Greenwall and get the achievement there. This should work identically if you join the Imperials.
