    A quick and easy way to earn these civilization achievements is to set up a regicide game with a treaty, and you can earn each Civilization achievement in just about 5 minutes each. You can repeat this with every civilization and every difficulty level. Again: Quick and Easy.

    Civilization: : Franks
    Game Mode: Regicide
    Location: Coastal
    Map Size: Tiny
    AI Difficulty: Does Not Matter
    Resources: Infinite
    Population: 50
    Game Speed: Fast
    Reveal Map: All Visible
    Starting Age: Post-Imperial
    Treaty: 5 Minutes

    As soon as the game starts, build a second castle using all villagers.

    Select you first castle and set the Rally Point directly next to the castle of your opponent. You should see the flags indicating that the king is barricaded in there. If he's not there, check the town center. Once the second castle is built, set its rally point to the near the same spot.

    In castle 1, create 15 petards. In castle 2, create whatever your special unit is.

    When there's around 20 seconds left in the Treaty just move your view to the rally points you set. You should have plenty of units next to the opponent's castle ready for war the moment the treaty ends. Immediately attack it with the petards. Be ready to switch to the other units to chase down the king.

    Alternatively, instead of using your special Units. you can just use all Petards and receive:

    If you have another account, or a friend with the game, this achievement (and all the other “win as” achievements) can be done without any effort.

    Go to Multiplayer and host a game. Make sure the settings are for 2 players and set to private to close it from a random joining. Once the lobby is created, click “Y” to open game setting and turn off the setting for being on the same team and save. Invite the other account/friend. Instead of “Random”, pick the civilization for the related achievement and make sure the two accounts are on different teams (boxes on the left).

    Start the game and have the other player resign. Pop!
