This guide brings a bit of order and organisation into the 166 achievements for the game by splitting them into different groups depending on which faction you need to play to unlock them. Explanations on how to unlock specific achievements will be few and short. This guide is not intended for that, this guide is meant as more of an organisational tool for achievement hunters, those overwhelmed by the long achievement list as it is and any other battle sibling who is interested. Introduction Welcome to this little listing. It's really nothing big or special, but I was really overwhelmed by trying to pry apart the achievements connected to specific factions. This guide is supposed to help everybody with the same problem, people who like organised lists and anybody else, really. I hope my work can be useful to you, too. For those looking for tips on how to unlock specific achievements I recommend this detailed and truly exhaustive guide by Doc: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2801059818 Additionally, for some details or alternative routes for some of the tricker achievements I also recommend this guide by VeldMuis: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2329668148 Finally, there is this amazing Google Docs Spreadsheet[docs.google.com] for all you achievement trackers out there that's based on this listing by the amazing Koger.
