Update November 20, 2023:

IMMORTAL EMPIRES ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCK CONDITIONS
We’ve adjusted the unlock requirements for campaign completion achievements to include the Long Victory type in Immortal Empires (alongside the current domination and ultimate victory types!).

Achievements can not be granted retroactively, but can be earned on existing saves that complete the long victory after the patch!

Legendary Strategist
Win a singleplayer campaign on Legendary difficulty.


The hardest difficulty in the game, no saving is allowed besides autosaves. You do not need to set battle difficulty to Legendary, it can be whatever. I wouldn’t rush this achievement as there will be plenty of content updates in the future which will most likely encourage you to replay a faction, which is a good opportunity to try and get this.

Some Legendary Lords have easier campaigns than others. I don't dare rating all of them yet since they change after each update. In general, Tyrion and Ikit Claw have had consistenly easy campaigns since their release. With Orion's ability to have zero army upkeep, he might also be a great contender.

In regards to Immortal Empires, a Long Victory is not enough, which it is for the race-exclusive victory-related achievements. You need to get the Domination or Ultimate victory.


If you are interested in how difficulty affects Total War: Warhammer III, which differs from the other two games in the trilogy, I suggest giving VenrisSFO's video a watch 🡺
Tear Down the Walls
Raze 1 settlement.


Burn the World
Raze 30 settlements during a single campaign.


After successfuly attacking a settlement, you usually gain options to Occupy, Sack, and Raze.
Do keep in mind races such as Beastmen, Norsca, and Warriors of Chaos are good at razing due to them having mechanics surrounding said action. For specifically Warhammer 3 races, Khorne should be most optimal.

A Steady Stream
Have a gross income of 5,000 per turn.


Well-Heeled
Have a gross income of 20,000 per turn.


Your Coffers Overfloweth
Have a gross income of 60,000 per turn.


Out of the Warhammer III races, Kislev is decently good at earning income. Otherwise Dark Elves and High Elves have a very strong economy. Once you are quite late into the game you can disband armies to help gain the achievement.

Into the Aethyr
Enter the Realm of Chaos using a Rift.


They will popup a few turns into the game when playing the Realm of Chaos campaign. Simply use an army on a rift (portal) and enter any of the four realms of chaos.

Common Cause
Have a military alliance with 5 other factions at the same time.


League of Nations
Have a military alliance with 10 other factions at the same time.


This is probably the hardest achievement of all the diplomatic ones. I recommend playing an order faction (A.K.A. good guys), since they tend to have an easier time uniting.

A great way to make another faction favor an alliance deal is by gifting settlements that are within a province they already have invested in. In Immortal Empires, if you manage to stop the factions around the Old World, such as the Empire, Kislev, and Brettonia, from getting destroyed early, they tend to be a good target for uniting. They usually have a lot of minor factions around them that will also join your great alliance.

Though be wary with your diplomatic actions, such as accepting Non-Aggression Pacts with those pesky factions most others dislike. Usually a spineless skaven will try to make deals with you, and you should often decline these, as otherwise your potential allies will start to judge you. If you really wanna boost relations, target a generally hated enemy, such as a Norscan or Chaos, with plenty of heroes. Steal Technology for example is highly underrated!

Commercial Comforts
Have a trade agreement with 5 other factions at the same time.


Trading Nation
Have a trade agreement with 10 other factions at the same time


Just like the Military Alliance achievements, try to carefully decide on whom you make friends with, though to a lesser degree. It's good to play as a faction that have a lot of connections, which is usually if they have access to the sea. You can send out heroes across the map to find potential trading partners.

In Immortal Empires the High Elves, the Empire, Ogres, as well as Cathay are solid options.

Arms Appropriated
Borrow an army from a military ally.


When you have a Military Alliance with another faction, for a decently large chunk of Allegiance points you can borrow their army.

Forward Position
Construct an allied outpost in a military ally’s settlement.


Once you have a Defensive Alliance or a Military Alliance with another faction, you can build an outpost at one of their province capitals for 3000 gold, unless someone of their other allies has already done that.

The Gatekeeper
Defeat the Daemon Prince at the Brass Citadel in the realm of Khorne.


The Gardener
Defeat the Daemon Prince at the Mansion of the Plaguelord in the realm of Nurgle.


The Courtesan
Defeat the Daemon Prince at the Palace of Slaanesh in the realm of Slaanesh.


The Librarian
Defeat the Daemon Prince at the Impossible Fortress in the realm of Tzeentch.


All of these are done through Forge of Souls campaign victory. Each one is fought at the final battle of each chaos realm. Keep in mind these battles can be autoresolved.

White Hat
Have 1 level 10 Hero.


Centres of Excellence
Have 2 level 20 Heroes at the same time.


The Height of Valour
Have 3 level 30 Heroes at the same time.


Once a hero reaches level 20, they can have the Immortality skill, which means they always end up wounded instead of dying, meaning you can’t lose the hero. Before that, you need to make sure they stay alive. You can always put 1-3 heroes into your strongest army and have them steamroll throughout the world.

Certain heroes also grant experience per turn as a skill called Training, which can be beneficial when leveling up.

Rising Power
Have a level 10 Lord.


Dominating Force
Have a level 20 Lord.


Peak Nobility
Have a level 30 Lord.


Legendary Lords can never die, so keep using one of them throughout a long campaign and it will eventually reach level 30.

Sensational Steed
Have a special mount.


Elevated Excellence
Have 3 special mounts.


Many lords and heroes can unlock a mount via their skill tree, usually after a specific level threshold. The skill in the tree should be located at the very top, not connected to any of the trees.
If you are having issues unlocking this achievement, try manually unequipping and equipping your mounts at the Character Details page.

The End of the Beginning
Complete the Prologue.


Without rushing, it took me around 3.5 hours to complete the prologue.

Royal Ranks Ramped
During the Prologue, fill Yuri’s army with units.


Yuri's army needs to have 20 units. Kossars are really cheap to maintain and purchase.

Enchanted Arsenal
During the Prologue, equip Yuri with every type of magic item.


The types are Arcane Item, Armour, Talisman and a Weapon. Finding one of each should be trivial, but if not make sure to check your quests to see if they grant you any of the magic items.

Self-Improvement
During the Prologue, spend 10 skill points.


The 10 points does not have to be on the same character.

Two Noble Heads
During the Prologue, recruit a second Lord.


You can always disband the lord after you recruit them, if a second army is not what you need.

A Mortal Wound Inflicted
During the Prologue, win your first battle in the Chaos Wastes.


You will get this automatically when playing through the prologue.

Reverser of Ruin
During the Prologue, capture a settlement in the Chaos Wastes.


You will get this automatically when playing through the prologue.

Establish & Advance
During the Prologue, construct 5 buildings.


Spires to the Sky
During the Prologue, fully upgrade a settlement.


The ability to gain growth and upgrade settlements occur just after capturing a hostile settlement after gaining control of Fort Dervingard.

For the settlement which you want to fully upgrade, try to build as soon as possible buildings that grant growth, in order to speed up the process of which you can upgrade the settlement. Keep in mind the settlement does not need to reach level 5, only its own max level. Minor settlements cap at level 3.

Obliterate the Odds
Win a campaign battle in which you are outnumbered 10-to-1.


By having a single very strong lord and a supportive hero that can heal that lord you can get this achievement in a battle of 2 vs 20 units.
However, I managed to get this with Tzeentch by winning a very hard battle by utilizing my units barrier mechanic.

Quest for Success
Fight a quest battle.


Legendary lords all have their own quests, which unlock when they reach a certain level. Once a quest is unlocked, complete the tasks until you reach the end of the questline, where you have to fight a battle. This achievement is automatically unlocked in the prologue.

Talented Amateur
Win 10 battles during a single campaign.


Professional Tactician
Win 50 battles during a single campaign.


Any decently long campaign and you will get this.


The Art of Surprise
Win 5 ambush battles during a single campaign.


You can ambush by setting your army’s stance to Ambush (if your race has it). Sometimes this achievement may be glitchy, and requires you to do it without shutting down your game (reloading saves is okay).


Blazing Besieger
Win 25 siege attack battles during a single campaign.


Siege battles are battles of which when you attack or defend a settlement, with supply points being used to build barricades and towers.

Początkowo opublikowane przez Creative Assembly:

The Trials of Fate are a series of intense survival challenges where players assume the role of a newly ascended Daemon Prince of Tzeentch. Reaching back through time itself, you will fight for survival in four infamous battles from the past, before breaking through into the Realm of Tzeentch and taking the fight to Kairos Fateweaver in an intense final showdown.Endless waves of enemy combatants will grow in strength the longer you hold out, until at last the masses overwhelm you. To help, players have access to some unique spells and abilities that could just tip the balance in their favour. The goal is to defend a capture point called the 'Shard'. Doing so grants access to Forbidden Knowledge, which in turn can be used to upgrade the aforementioned spells and abilities. Take advantage of cataclysmic powers and mighty vortexes to send your enemies ragdolling across the Realms in crazy physics-based chaos.The damage dealt and kills secured contribute towards your score. Do well enough and you'll unlock unique Tzeentch-themed Daemon Prince Parts for your Daemon Prince that, as well as looking dead swanky, can be used in both the Realm of Chaos and Immortal Empires campaigns. Daniel has never looked better.

Each trial lets you play with the same Tzeentchian army;
where you will face different races on different maps for each trial.

Black Fire Schemer
Achieve a score of 15000 in the Black Fire Pass Trial.
Black Fire Mastermind
Achieve a score of 50000 in the Black Fire Pass Trial.

This is the one where you face hordes of orcs and goblins, including Grimgor Ironhide.

Hel Fenn Schemer
Achieve a score of 15000 in the Hel Fenn Trial.
Hel Fenn Mastermind
Achieve a score of 50000 in the Hel Fenn Trial.

Zombies and skeletons, featuring Heinrich Kemmler. That lord is an easy target, rush him as soon as the battle starts with your lord and flying cavalry.The good aspect of this trial is that there are no ranged units, however, Vargheists and Fell Bats are a nuisance towards your lord and hero. They seem to be immune to some of the army abilities, meaning you need to deal with them with your units. I decided to make use of the cavalry in the case they jumped behind my frontline, charging in to quickly deal with them as a threat. Also, use your Pink Horrors against any Cairn Wraithes, as magical attacks are their weakness.

Fallen Schemer
Achieve a score of 15000 in the Fallen Gates Trial.
Fallen Mastermind
Achieve a score of 50000 in the Fallen Gates Trial.

You're up against Lizardmen for this one. I found this one to be extra difficult, due to the poisonous javelins being thrown around and Terradon Riders chasing after your lord. I think a good strategy is to start off with defending the shards until you've maxed out Inevitable Fate, then try to retreat with the army into one of the two corners, which should help stack up the enemy forces whilst letting the flying units not bother you as much.


Dark Schemer
Achieve a score of 15000 in the Altar of Ultimate Darkness Trial.
Dark Mastermind
Achieve a score of 50000 in the Altar of Ultimate Darkness Trial.


Tzeentchian Schemer
Achieve a score of 15000 in the Realm of Tzeentch Trial.
Tzeentchian Mastermind
Achieve a score of 50000 in the Realm of Tzeentch Trial.



Ultimate Mastermind
Achieve a score of 100000 in all Trials of Fate.


This means you need to acquire the platinum medal for all of the trials. Generally, some tips I have are:

• Utilize the barriers. Allow units to retreat to refill so as to increase the total HP of your army.
  
• Spam the army abilities. They all have separate cooldowns. The lowest army ability Diabolical Puppetry, that targets only one enemy unit, should be used on strong targets that are currently fighting your units that want to retreat, so as to buy them a time window to get their barrier up.
  
• Upgrade army abilities. Its possible to upgrade army abilities with a small icon at the army panel, as showcased in the image. They only reduce the cooldown of the abilities, and I would recommend not prioritizing Diabolical Puppetry as it has such low impact later on.
  
• With the top army ability Inevitable Fate, use it on your flying Lord and move around swiftly to take down as many as possible.
  
• Defending the zone is not a must. It will grant you shards for upgrading army abilities, but I've managed to reach 75000 score without any upgrades. Perhaps corner-camping could prove to be a good strategy.
  
• Let your ranged units save ammo. There is no way to replenish, thus you should fire conservatively, targeting important units when necessary.
  
• Snipe the enemy lord. As soon as the enemy lord is dead, all enemy units from there on will suffer leadership penalties. Early on its easier to take them out, so try to deal with that before its gets too late.
