The Scramble for Africa Scenario for Civilization 5 comes with 12 playable civilizations and 7 mostly challenging Steam Achievements. Read about some of these achievements in this post and get an overview of the strategy guides for the harder achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you get cracking in this scenario, you might want to have a look at the Scramble for Africa Map<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you already have all scenario specific Steam achievements and want to win the scenario on deity difficulty with all nations? Scroll down and dig through the Scramble for Africa strategy guides for playing on deity difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scramble for Africa Steam Achievements<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I Prefer my Africa Scrambled<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"I<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Win the Scramble for Africa scenario as any civ on any difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Steam achievement is easy. You can do it on any difficulty and when you read this and came via Google, you’ll probably already have it. Anyway most of my guides will lead you to victory, so you’ll get it on the fly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Praise the Victories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Praise<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Win the Scramble for Africa playing as the Boers on Deity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s two deity achievements<\/strong> for Scramble for Africa and this is one of them. Here’s the guide that will help you through: Scramble for Africa – Praise the Victories Steam Achievement Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ottoman Carpentry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ottoman<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Win the Scramble for Africa playing as the Ottomans on Deity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second deity achievement is just as hard as the first one. With Italy as your arc enemy it’s hard to survive the first 20 turns. If you do survive, fame and honor await you! Read how it’s done in the Scramble for Africa – Ottoman Carpentry Steam Achievement Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Livingstone I presume?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Dr<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Playing as Belgium, move your Stanley Explorer to within a tile of England’s Livingstone Explorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one is a bit tricky. Often assumed broken it also seemed broken for me at first. You’ll have to walk around Dr Livingstone for a while. For me the achievement only got triggered, once Dr Livingstone stood next to me when England’s turn started. As soon as he moved, the Steam achievement popped up. Read more about it in the Scramble for Africa Belgium Strategy (Deity). (Coming soon!<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rhodes Colossus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Playing as England in Scramble for Africa, complete a railroad from Cairo to Capetown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one has been a tough nut to crack. On deity difficulty at least. The achievement doesn’t require deity difficulty though, so you can easily get it on lower levels of difficulty. If you want to give it a try on deity, check out the Scramble for Africa – The Rhodes Colossus Steam Achievement Guide (aka English Deity Strategy)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nigerian Bank Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Nigerian<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In Scramble for Africa, marry Sokoto or Bornu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nigerian Bank Account Steam achievement also does not require a high level of difficulty. Probably you could do it within minutes starting with Belgium or Germany, building your infrastructure and marrying either (!) of these City States. Marrying both of them is required, I think, for winning this scenario on deity playing Germany. So you might want to take a look at Scramble for Africa Germany Strategy (Deity)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discoverer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Discoverer<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Playing as Italy in Scramble for Africa, earn the VP for finding two Natural Wonders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas I first thought this was a tough nut to crack, I got this Steam achievement in the 3rd attempt. It’s really not that hard: Play on the lowest difficulty, so you start with more units already and more importantly: Probably the AI starts with less! Then build some explorers, open borders with the Ottomans and Egypt and send your troops into the heart of the dark continent. If you’re lucky you will find King Solomon’s Mines with your riflemen already a little south of the Ottomans. The source of Nile is usually in Egypt or south of it in Ethiopia. Mt. Kilimanjaro also often is in Ethiopia or a little south of it. Sometimes even meeting Ethiopia very early and accepting embassies can grant you the discovery of a Natural wonder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
