I'm the Man

During a Nanman campaign, have all Nanman fealties under your control.


Basically all you have to do is wipe out all the other Nanman tribes and vassal them. They will swear fealty to you. At the start I went allied with Lady Zhurong as I was playing as Meng Huo, once you have collected all of the other tribes, to seal this propose a military alliance with her. Once accepted the achievement should pop on the next turn.

Tiger King

Win a battle where an entire retinue was made up of tiger units.


This may take some time to build up but once you have enough tiger units - slingers / tiger warriors available, create a new army and assign / swap out 6 of them (can be a mixture of tiger units). All you have to do is take it to a battle and win. You can either fight it or auto resolve will work.

Lords of the South

When playing as Shi Xie, have 4 vassals that are also members of your family at the start of a turn.

As stated you got to have 4 family members overseeing 4 vassals at the start of the turn. To do this is similar to another achievement for Yan Baihu where he had to have 8 alliances all at once.

What you do as family members either request to join you or you adopt them into the family you appoint them as an administrator of one your regions. This will take some time as you only start with 1 admin spot which is given to one of your family at the start of the game.

Once you have 4 in place and are on really good terms with them, give them family independence which you select on their icon. This turns the region into a vassal. You need to do this 4 times. Ensure you keep up the good relations with them until you have them all and on the next turn it will give you this.

The Purist

During a Nanman campaign, complete a tech tree where all major reforms are to one side.

Very easy one to do, select one of the tech tree branches and ensure you stay entirely on either the left or right side of the branch. You will have to do some missions to open it further to get to the next one on that side. Just ensure to stick to one or the other.

That Still only counts as One

Win a battle against an opponent fielding at least one elephant unit, or an opponent fielding a general that has an elephant as their mount.

This will come naturally as part of the game progression. This can be done using any side fighting the Nanman. You don't need this DLC installed to actually collect this achievement since Nanman is in the main campaigns in the later stages...

The Barbarian Emperor

Playing as a Nanman, become the emperor of the Han, or establish the Nanman kingdom.

This is like the one above, will come naturally, wipe out the Han, sit on all three thrones and hold onto them for 20 turns post the third one you collect. You will find by the time you do this nearly all of China should be in your direct control.
