    (Others have said the achievements may not unlock if you pay the Danes off and then loot the treasure. Make sure to destroy and loot the camp on your first play through without paying them to be safe. Restart the mission if you already paid the Danes by accident)

    This achievement can be acquired in mission 2 York. Eventually, during the mission, you will be attacked by Danes. The narrator will tell you that you can either pay them off or attack them. Once you have a decent-sized army move West towards the Dane camp. Break down their gate and destroy their units. There will be a few gold chests with a few Danes at the camp. Simply pick them up using any military unit or hero. After a few seconds, you will unlock this achievement.

    Tozi TiberiusThis could be completely due to lag, but the second time I attempted this, the achievement popped right after I targeted and destroyed each segment of palisade wall in the Danish camp.

    worldowner777First time i've passed this mission in the lowest difficulty and the achievement didn't unlock.
    Then I just restarted the mission in Hard difficulty, destroyed the camp and picked chests. In few seconds the achievement unlocked.

    Jagd Gray WolfI believe changing the difficulty is one way of 100% restarting the level without the game thinking you may have loaded a save. I got most of the achievements on the easy difficulty.

    The North York mission is the 2nd mission of ''The Normans'' campaign. After you take over the second town, the Danish will raid you continuously, the game will give you a choice between sending a gold tribute of 1200 gold or destroying them. Before attacking them, make sure you have a big army with a lot cavalry to counter their infantry. After you beat them, 2 chests with 300 gold in each of them will be available to grab inside the Danish camp (watch the video below at 21:00 for reference).
