One easy way to achieve this is by recruiting 500-700Ā Steel Gear SoldiersĀ with theĀ Military of Steel Gear Soldiers x1.5Ā andĀ Military of all soldiers x1.2Ā researched. Try usingĀ Final battle preparationsĀ during the final defense if you don’t have enoughĀ Population.
Reach year 3 without losing any soldiers

C-1. Difficulty B
Clear the game on Difficulty B without carrying over battle points or using the otherworldly castle
Note: Don’t do any free battles in your playthrough just to be on the safe side. You can still do it from the title screen if you want to try things out.
Below is the list of your starting resources and the enemy forces for difficulty B.
— Stage 6-7
C-2. Difficulty C
Clear the game on Difficulty C without carrying over battle points or using the otherworldly castle

C-3. Free Battle “569216014”Ā (400%, Long)
Clear a Free Battle with seed ā569216014ā, skill points,set to 26, enemy strength 400%, Combat length: Long, and no otherworldly castle
Free BattlesĀ can be accessed from the title screen. Make sure to set the skill points to 26, enemy strength to 400%, and combat length to Long. Also, remember to tick theĀ Double max level for buildingsĀ to increase the buildings level cap to Lv.40. You can find a detailed list of the building costs in my other guide.
The first achievement has no restrictions on how to allocate your available skill points. It is recommended to use one of the five builds from the next achievements since they will count to this achievement as well.
Below is the list of your starting resources and the enemy forces for this seed.
Clear a Free Battle with seed ā569216014ā, skill points,set to 26, enemy strength 400%, Combat length: Long, Iron Workshop Lv4, and no otherworldly castle
My recommendationĀ Iron Workshop Lv.4Ā build is to takeĀ Improved Mine Lv.2Ā andĀ Mobile Fort Lv.1Ā from theĀ Fortress CityĀ skill tree. The main reason being that they increase theĀ Falconet Cannons‘Ā MilitaryĀ quite considerably. I used 1 SP to get an extra Research and 3 SP forĀ Wood Production UpĀ to help speed things up in the starting phase.
