The Atlantean Ascent
- "Kronos's Bane": Defeat Kronos in the final mission of the Atlantean campaign on Hard difficulty or higher.
- "Gaia's Embrace": Complete all optional objectives in the mission "The New Atlantis" without losing a single Gaia's Forest. This requires careful unit positioning and prioritizing enemy siege units.
- "Orion's Legacy": Recruit and maintain at least three unique Atlantean Heroes (e.g., Arkantos, Kastor, Amanra) throughout the entire "Fall of the Trident" campaign. Ensure they survive each mission.
The Golden Fleece Saga
- "Minotaur's Demise": Defeat the Minotaur in the labyrinth during the "Labyrinth of Crete" mission using only Greek Myth Units. Focus on building a strong army of Minotaurs and Colossi.
- "Poseidon's Favor": Complete the "Islands of the Cyclops" mission without losing any fishing boats. use your starting Triremes and build additional ones early to patrol fishing routes.
- "Zeus's Wrath": Win a campaign mission using only Zeus's God Powers (e.g., Lightning Storm, Bolt, Shockwave) to destroy enemy structures. The mission "Siege of Troy" is an excellent candidate for this, focusing on targeting enemy Town Centers and Fortresses.
Skirmish & Multiplayer Milestones
These achievements often require specific strategies or unit compositions in Skirmish or Multiplayer matches against AI or other players.
Divine Dominance
- "Titan Slayer": Defeat an enemy Titan in a Skirmish match on a Large map. This can be done against an AI opponent set to Titan difficulty. Focus on a combined arms approach with siege units and powerful Myth Units like the Behemoth or the Son of Osiris.
- "Wonder Worker": Construct and defend a Wonder for 10 minutes in a Skirmish match. Choose a map with easily defensible chokepoints. Prioritize economic upgrades and build defensive structures like Towers and Fortresses around your Wonder.
- "Relic Hoarder": Control all five Relics on a standard map simultaneously for 5 minutes in a Skirmish match. Scout aggressively with your starting units to locate Relics. Use fast units like Hippikons or Chariots to secure them, then build Temples nearby for protection.
Economic Efficiency
- "Golden Age": Reach the Mythic Age in under 10 minutes in a Skirmish match. This requires a highly optimized build order. For Greeks, focus on early villagers, rapid food gathering, and a quick transition to the Classical Age, then Heroic, and finally Mythic. Consider using God Powers like Prosperity or Ancestors to boost resource income.
- "Resourceful Ruler": Accumulate 5000 of each resource (Food, Wood, Gold, Favor) simultaneously in a Skirmish match. This is best achieved on a larger map with abundant resources. Establish multiple Town Centers and upgrade your economic technologies at the Market.
