Going on Tour
You need to complete all 10 missions. The missions represent the usual Siege mode. In defensive missions, the tactics are the same and are not particularly difficult. Get the entire army to the central castle.
1. Dunnottar – defense.
2. Warkworth – siege.
Wait for all enemy macemens to leave, then start moving your army along the right side of the map. Use the trebuchet to destroy the tower and breach the wall to the castle.

3. Pembroke – siege.
Immediately slow game speed and divide units into groups. Have each group destroy walls and barracks. Trigger the boiling oil with knights.

4. Warwick – defense.

5. Bodiam – defense.
Move all units from the far walls to near the castle.

6. Hastings – siege.
Set up a trebuchet at the rocks on the shore and destroy the tower. Dismiss the engineers from the trebuchet and build a catapult. Use the catapult to destroy the wall and wooden gate.

7. Chatetau Gaillard – siege.
Wait until all the macement are out of the castle, then start the assault. Engineers build portable shields and unite them in one group with shooting units. The shooting units will cover the others. There are enough units to assault the castle directly without any tactics.

8. Chateau de Coucy – defense.
All units from the far walls, put them in the central castle.

9. Marksburg – siege.
Destroy the first line of the wall with catapults. Divide all units into small groups. After the wall is opened, go around the castle and destroy the barracks. In small groups, give the same orders so that units do not crowd and do not trigger boiling oil.

10. Heuneburg – defense.

Unstoppable Force
Selecting the “Gluecksburg” map. Allocate ABSOLUTELY all points to pikemen. Order 10-20 pikemen to attack the barbican, these 10-20 soldiers must trigger all oil ditches. The remaining pikemen are split into three groups. Give orders to all three groups to destroy the gate. After destroying the gate, enter the castle. The more separate groups you have, the more damage you will do. Only one unit from a group can stand on each tile. Stack multiple units from different groups in the same tile so that your army fights in a compression of multiple soldiers.

Immovable Object
Set an easy difficulty level, choose any small castle. The smaller the castle, the faster the siege.

A Gaggle of Gregs
By completing this achievement you will also get the “Time to Die, Greg!” achievement. To get this achievement, you must make a lobby of 7 more players. Choose the smallest map with 8 players and be the only survivor. You do not have to kill all opponents. It is enough that the opponents kill each other and the last one is killed by you. You can team up in teams. Make a lobby of 8 players, split into teams and give the victory to one group first, then to the other. All players on the winning team will get both achievements. Be sure to start the game with 8 players in the lobby. If a player leaves the game, he will be defeated. It is not necessary for all players to be in the lobby for the end of the game. It is enough to gather the lobby, divide into teams, and then one of the teams must leave the game.
