It helps to build up on their island, rather than ferrying troops from your base all the time. The Jin have a fair amount of cavalry, so I found Pikemen to be a cheap and effective counter. You can defend against your other enemies quite effectively just by blocking them off and building a castle at your base, so you can focus solely on attacking the Jin once you've done this. This really helps as it's difficult to get an effective siege group together in the time that you need it, so take advantage of these and keep them alive as best you can. One helpful tool shown in this video is the 6 x Bombard Cannons that will join you if you are able to reach them. The faster you attack them, the easier they are to defeat. The Jin are your most powerful opponent on this mission and they normally start to construct a Wonder around 25 - 30 minutes in - This can vary a little. Time is of the essence with this achievement, so bear that in mind from the start. This should no longer be bugged.Īge of Empires II: Definitive Edition (PC) - Achievement - I Was in China Beforeĭefeat the Jin before they start constructing a Wonder in the third Genghis Khan mission "Into China".
AGE OF EMPIRES STEAM ACHIEVEMENT UPDATE
UPDATE: The December 17th 2019 update has fixed many issues relating to achievements. While it doesn't seem the way this achievement was intended to be obtained, you can work around it by changing your diplomatic stance with Persian Outpost (purple) to enemy so that the game doesn't end after defeating your final 'actual enemy', but this is hopefully something the Age of Empires team will look in to / clarify in the near future. Your goal is to defeat your enemies before building a wonder, however, once you defeat your enemies, the game ends and your are unable to continue building. Many people, myself included, realised that the achievement is not as simple as it initially seems. It should also be noted that using cheat codes will DISABLE being able to obtain achievements.Īge of Empires II: Definitive Edition (PC) - Achievement - Offense Is the Best Defenseĭefeat all opponents before constructing a Wonder in the sixth Saladin mission "The Lion and the Demon".Īs of this video being uploaded (22nd November 2019, game version: 101.101.33059.0 4403463), there is what I believe to be a bug with this achievement. This is a collection I have made over the last year or so, so there are a couple of early guides which were workarounds to obtain achievements when they were considered unobtainable which were fixed in following updates. These are the Dark Dinner, Golden Spurs and Tour d'Italie achievements. There are also 3 NON campaign-specific achievements listed which there are guides to as there are convenient places within the campaign levels to achieve them. Historical Battle achievements will be listed at the end.
