Rise of the Mongols Steam Achievements<\/h1>\n

The Rise of the Mongols Scenario for Civilization 5 comes with only 1 playable civilization (the Mongols, obviously) and 6 Steam Achievements. Unfortunately these achievements don’t vary much, but only represent winning the scenario on different levels of difficulty. Below you’ll get an overview of the achievements followed by the Rise of the Mongols Strategy guide (which enables you to make the Ghengis Khan Steam Achievement on Deity difficulty).<\/p>\n

Before you get cracking in this scenario, you might want to have a look at the Rise of the Mongols Scenario Map<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Khan<\/h2>\n

\"KhanBeat the Mongol scenario on any difficulty.<\/p>\n

Here’s the thing with all Steam Achievements for Rise of the Mongols: With 1 successful game on Deity you can get 5\/6 achievements. Not very rich in variety!<\/p>\n

Great Khan<\/h2>\n

\"GreatBeat the Mongol scenario on the King or harder difficulty level.<\/p>\n

So if you win on King difficulty (annihilating 5 civilizations) you automatically get the “Khan” achievement.<\/p>\n

Supreme Khan<\/h2>\n

\"SupremeBeat the Mongol scenario on the Emperor or harder difficulty level.<\/p>\n

You might as well start on Emperor, conquer 6 civilizations, which is doable, and get all previous achievements! I’d recommend coming after North- and South-China, Persia, India, Arabia and Byzantium. Even without knowing your ways around you will conquer China within 40 turns. Pull all troops west then and together with the steady production in Karakorum you should make it until Thessaloniki and Cairo.<\/p>\n

Kublai Khan<\/h2>\n

\"KublaiBeat the Mongol scenario on the Immortal or harder difficulty level.<\/p>\n

I did not specifically go for the Kublai Khan achievement. Immortal and Deity don’t differ much in game mechanics: Deity requires a little more research per technology and a little more culture per social policy. And of course you have to kill all 8 other civilizations instead of “only 7” on Immortal.<\/p>\n

Genghis Khan<\/h2>\n

\"GenghisBeat the Mongol scenario on the Deity difficulty level.<\/p>\n

Here you are. To beat the Rise of the Mongols scenario on Deity you have wipe out all other civilizations. You can do it! Read below how I did it – my personal Rise of the Mongols strategy.<\/p>\n

Khaaan!<\/h2>\n

\"Khaaan!Run out of time to beat the Mongol scenario.<\/p>\n

This is another reason why you might not want to play on Immortal at all: Even if you need two attempts to win on Deity, your first (failed) attempt will grant you the Khaaan! achievement!<\/p>\n

Rise of the Mongols Strategy (Deity)<\/h1>\n

Beating the Rise of the Mongols scenario requires some tactical brilliance and deviousness and a good balance between your conquests and your empires’ happiness.<\/p>\n

The 1st Third: China and Japan<\/h2>\n

The start is important. As you see in the screenshots for happiness I always have an archer or crossbowman in all captured cities, because that provides an additional +1 Happiness per city. Keep this up during the entire game!<\/p>\n
