It’s a… trap.

Where: Second mission of Ulf Ironbeard’s campaign.
You have to set up a trap during the turorial anyway and will be rewarded with the achievement.
It’s a TRAP!

Where: Third mission of Ulf Ironbeard’s campaign.
Here you will learn how to detect and destroy enemy traps. Simply enable the defensive mode (Hotkey Y) and enemy traps are visible. The right click on it to attack it. In this mission there are two enemy traps so you either replay it till you got the achievement or you keep on playing campaign/skirmish matches until you found another three traps.
Protector

Where: Fourth mission of Ulf Ironbeard’s campaign.
You will obtain control of a village for the first time in this mission. You can raise the defense of your village by clicking on the icon on bottom left. You only need to have enough resources for the upgrade.
Panic

Where: Fourth mission of Ulf Ironbeards campaign.
If you conquered a village, simply click on the alarm/bell icon in the village-menu and you’re peasants will quit working and run to the center to defend the village. Afterwards, just click on it again and they will continue working and producing resources.

When conquering a village your first step should be upgrading it’s resources. Doing this will send your villains to it’s mines and fields for work.

A village with gold defense has better defense (obviously). In this mission you can find a village on bottom right. Destroy the town hall, capture it and the achievement will be yours.

Keep your units alive and fight. By killing enemies they will gain experience. The maximum lvl is 5. It shouldn’t be hard to reach this in a long mission.

The easiest way to track your progress is if you play multiplayer/skirmish vs every available faction.

All these following achievements can be obtained either offline in skirmishes against the AI or in multiplayer online matches:
Firestarter

Fallen Warrior
Lose a match in Multiplayer or against AI
Those three are pretty obvious and easy to achieve so i guess there’s no further description required.

Find a partner to boost this online or try your luck against (easy) AI. I’ll add further description if i found the best easy way to do this.

This will be the hardest multiplayer achievement. I’ll test if its possible in team fights, which might be easier.
Hidden Achievements
Ancestors Legacy has 7 hidded achievements. They are usually rewarded for some extra-effort in some of the campaign missions. I listed all of them here but since i haven’t unlock every single one i will add further description as soon i got them. By now you can at least see the description which might help you as well.

You need to kill a total of 2000 peasants. One of the Devs stated any peasant on the map that gets killed counts towards this.
