Complete Achievement Guide (EN)
By Lord Voxtron
A complete approach on how to obtain all achievements from Age of Conquest IV, including description of each one and some hints.

Though most achievements are easy to understand, people may get confused on some of them, so I decided to create a guide as no other existed until now. The list is ordered according to how Steam shows up the achievements on your profile, not by rarity. I also share a bit of my own experience within the game.

Tutorial Completed
Just complete the tutorial. May unlock sometime later possibly due to a bug. In that case, you may try again to see if that will happen.
Played for 1h
Play for 1 hour counted in your in-game profile, not the Steam count, and you'll get this one.
First Game Won
Win your first match on any map on single player mode, pretty easy.
10 Games Won
Win 10 matches on any game maps on single player.
Inhuman Victory
You have to win a match against the Inhuman IA, the most difficult level. There used to be a way to do it faster, but it seems it was patched or it's buggy now. Currently, to do it in an easy way, you can set up two civilizations far from each other (or they can be close, but I think that's risky) on Total Peace. I recommend disabling handicap in advanced settings too. Then you have to conquest territories, create soldiers while finding and keeping an eye on where the opponent's commander is. Surround them and grow a large army near their commander, break the peace treaty, declare war and attack the territory where the commander is. Earlier in the campaign settings, I recommend choosing an opponent civilization that starts with their commander near the sea and with little land to where they can escape; I did it against Egypt.
This is SPARTA
Win a match using Sparta as your civilization. Sparta always starts without any province, with just a ship on the sea, so this will take just a bit longer than usual.
10 Kills
Kill 10 enemy troops, not the number of soldiers.
100 Kills
Kill 100 enemy troops, may take a while.
Explorer
This one makes people confused due to its name and by the way it can be unlocked. You probably won't get it on the vanilla Ancient Europe maps. It seems the only way to get it is by unlocking the free fantasy world map in the "Maps and Modding" section and doing any kind of treaty to another civilization, that's the method I used too.
Watch Tower
Build an watch tower on a province you own. Watch towers can be used to spy on other civilizations.
Sexy Time
Enact a fertility festival to raise your population. This can be done in your civilization or province details window.
Little Tough Guy
Playing as a small civilization, declare war to a much larger enemy.
Territorial Ruler
Conquest at least 80% of the whole map in a match, it includes protectorates on default settings.
AI Lover
The rarest achievement, though not the hardest. You have to make constant beneficiary treaties to all other non-enemy AI civilizations in the match, like giving money or selling provinces, to raise their opinion about you up to 90%. This can be checked on the "Opinions" window. To get this faster, you can try to set up a scenario with only allies and no enemies or neutrals and raise their opinion up to 90%.
AI's Least Popular
Get hated by all the other AI civilizations in the match by decreasing their opinion about you down to 90% negative. Easily done by declaring war to them and sending various messages demanding to get out of your way.
Challenger
When you become the most powerful civilization in the match, after conquering more territories than all others, create a ballot to get recognized as the dominant civilization in the world or to start an all-out war. You'll get this whenever they agree or disagree to do so.
Responder
Vote to recognize or not another civilization that requests to be considered the dominant one in the world or to start an all-out war.
Played for 24h
Play for 24 hours on in-game profile count, not Steam count. You can check that looking at your Playing Statistics in Single Player mode.
1000 Kills
Kill 1000 enemy troops, possibly the most time consuming achievement.
Multiplayer Play
Simply play a multiplayer match over the web. You first must login to do so.
Multiplayer Victory
Play and win a multiplayer match.

So, after a while I updated the Inhuman trick so now it's gonna work again. It was patched or it's buggy now, I don't know. If anyone happen to find out an even easier way to do it, feel free to share it.

@OldGamer It's been a while since I wrote this guide, it used to work. I should test it myself today.

The inhuman trick doesn't seem to work.

Ohhh I see now, thank you so much

@Deadpool You can login using your Steam account, but it's not necessary to count the 24 hours. You actually check your in-game hours in the Playing Statistics option after choosing Single Player mode. I'll add that up to the guide.

I'm confused the 24 hour one has to be with their account, I can't login using Steam?

@Бабки Well, once another nation becomes bigger than the others, a notification should appear requesting you to vote to recognize their dominance or to agree on starting an all-out war. You can try to let some nation do that, so it should be easier to happen.

Very good guide. You deserve an award. :)

@ThisHotPizza You're welcome. That's pretty much what works fast. I may include some more info into the guide on the way to get achievements faster.
