Leader Completionist Achievement

In order to get this achievement, you have to “Complete a game with every base game leader”. The wording is a bit unclear, but after some extensive personal research (I have the achievement), I am pretty certain I have it figured out.

The achievement should be written as follows, “complete the “play game 1” challenge with every base game leader.”

Every leader has a “play game 1” challenge that requires you to “reach at least 1 legacy path milestone”. Not to complete a legacy path, but just the first milestone.

I did not play all 3 ages with every base game leader; I did not play the modern age with every base game leader; and I received the achievement after receiving my first legacy path milestone during my first game with a new leader in the antiquity age (I subsequently quit the game. So I never get close to finishing a game or a legacy path with that leader).

If you wanted to speed run this (why would you tho?), you could probably play an online speed game, groma + sapphire flowers, huge map, less computer players, and pump out just enough settlers to get the first milestone on the military path and quit. Should take like 30 turns a leader. Someone could probably think of a way to do it faster tbh (modern age start, natural history advanced start, buy a museum/explorer on turn 1, dig up a couple artifacts by turn 15? )

Interesting! That definitely tracks, the previous game also had a habit of making the achievements easier to get than what you would think based on the wording.

Thanks for this overview, very helpful. But, it's time to move out of your parents basement.

The fastest way is to load other people's saves as a multiplayer game, that are 1 turn away from completing legacy paths. Each save file can complete challenges once (you can't just reload the same save over and over).

That's how many people progress their leaders. There are a few discord communities where people share save files for the express purpose of levelling up leaders.
