    NOTE: Achievements pop upon starting the game if you've already earned them in the 2018 version of Age of Empires

    There is a whole bunch of achievements which you can easily get in custom games.
    Load up a single player custom game with the following settings:

    Players: 2

    Match type: Deathmatch
    Map type: Inland
    Map size: Gigantic (useful for some achievements)
    Reveal map: All visible

    Population limit: 250

    Starting age: Post-Iron age (for most of them)

    Victory type: Standard
    Difficulty level: Easy
    Speed: Normal
    Game mode: Definitive edition

    Then make sure that at least these 2 boxes are checked/ticked: Allow cheats and Full Tech Tree.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It does not matter versus what empire you are playing, but for yourself, you will have to go through some of them depending on what achievements you are going for.

    Once every game starts press ENTER, type " steroids " and press ENTER again to make buildings go up instantly and to make troops be trained instantly as well. Always start off with building about 20 houses or so, so you can house enough troops/villagers. The fastest way to do this is select a villager, press Q (hotkey) to get a house ready and then just click where you want to build it. You will also work towards this achievement:
    Age of Empires: Definitive Edition (Windows)Homes?The Homes? achievement in Age of Empires: Definitive Edition (Windows) worth 34 pointsBuild 500 houses


    In case you run out of resources, these cheats will help out. In case you still need quite some progress towards a certain achievement it might be worth setting up a new custom game rather than putting in the cheat code again and again:
    woodstock: Instantly gives 1000 wood.
    pepperoni pizza: Instantly gives 1000 food.
    coinage: Instantly gives 1000 gold.
    quarry: Instantly gives 1000 stone.

    The following ones work for multiple empires, though since we are playing as Egyptians now, let's go for them.

    Build 50 Ballista towers (with villagers--> Hotkey = Y)

    Age of Empires: Definitive Edition (Windows)Dancing ChariotsThe Dancing Chariots achievement in Age of Empires: Definitive Edition (Windows) worth 44 pointsTrain 400 Assyrian Chariot Archers


    Shang empire:

    Age of Empires: Definitive Edition (Windows)Rise And WallThe Rise And Wall achievement in Age of Empires: Definitive Edition (Windows) worth 36 pointsBuild 789 Shang wall segments


    Choson empire:
    Barracks: (Train 1000 Legions)
    Age of Empires: Definitive Edition (Windows)The Choson OnesThe The Choson Ones achievement in Age of Empires: Definitive Edition (Windows) worth 45 pointsCreate 1000 Choson Legions


    (I've left out some of them which are easier to do in a custom scenario campaign, convert units for 3 achievements, kill a lion (alpha) and raze 200 temples)
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Best way to go for the Shang wall segments and the 50 Babylonians towers is to train some extra villagers at the town center, and then order all of them to start building. Then select one villager and start adding extra wall segments/towers.

    For the train X amount of troops achievements, place the Barracks/Archery range/academy/Siege workshop somewhere in the open. This will mean that you can train more units before you have to remove units. Hold the SHIFT button and keep clicking the unit you want to train (or press the Hotkey). Once it says that there is not enough room to build more units, double-click (left mouse) on one of the units, and hold the DELETE button on your keyboard until all of them are deleted. Then start training units again. Also, make sure that the steroids cheat is always activated at the start of a new match.

    Once you run out of resources or have your achievement(s), press ENTER, type " home run " and press ENTER again to win the match.

    DeceptiveTenJust a heads up you can use the flag before the x amount troops put the flag out some where and hold the hot key down as long as you have money and thing to build with the troops will go to the flag as fast as the hot key can go

    Does not work on the walls

    PsychicChickenI can't get ANY of the specific empire achievements (Minoan, Assyrian, Shang etc.) to unlock from a custom game. I've only managed to get the empire achievements from campaign games. Since most empires aren't in the campaign, I can't unlock them. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if there was some update that stopped them from unlocking in custom games, but as you can imagine, training hundreds of units in a game, over and over again for nothing, is quite annoying.

    PARAcainYou should probably note that the Choson Legions require Post-Iron. You have it down with the regular Iron age group

    venksbondDon't copy entire text which already in walkthrough. Write only text needed text for particular achievement. Getting lost after see all texts in multiple pages.

    S P 4 C E YTotally agreed. It's lazy solution farming.

    thebritt2001It would be helpful if you could say exactly what technology is required for each of these. I spent ages looking for how to get Choson Legions. Their upgrade is in the bloody temple of all places. I found you can see the technology required for them on the tech tree itself.

    CowlzWas lost on the Choson legions as well, thanks to thebritt2001 for the clarification that you need to research that in the Temple.
