Achievement Guide for Carcassonne.
[edit] Mirror Monk (25 points)
Score 2 adjacent Monasteries in Single Player
To score a Monastery you have to play a Monastery tile and surround it with 8 other tiles (It doesn't matter which ones but you will learn about it in the tutorial anyway). Just place to Monastery tiles right next to each other, surround them both with 10 other tiles and you will get the achievement. Set the AI to easy so that the AI player doesn't get it your way.
[edit] King of the Road (5 points)
Score a road with 5+ tiles in Single Player
To score a road it must have either a junction or a graveyard or a dead end on both sides. Just make sure that the road is 5 tiles long. It doesn't matter if you share the points for the road with the AI player.
[edit] Rack up the Points (10 points)
Score 50+ points in Single Player
See "The Count of Carcassonne" achievement.
[edit] Farm Boy (10 points)
Score a Farm supplying 4+ Cities in Single Player
To build a farm, all you have to do is place a follower next to a road or a city wall. You will then hear the sound of a sheap and you will see the area supplied by this farm. Just make sure there are no roads between the farm and a city or it will not count.
[edit] Big City (5 points)
Score a City with 3+ tiles in Single Player
Pretty straight forward, just build a city consisting of 3 or more tiles. To build a city, just put tiles with city walls together until the walls are closed (and don't forget to put a follower inside).
[edit] King For A Day (15 points)
Win 1 Ranked game
Just win 1 ranked game. If you know all the ways to score, it shouldn't be to much of a problem.
[edit] Top Score (15 points)
Score a total of 2000+ points from all your Carcassonne games combined
See "Ultimate Score" achievement.
[edit] Top of the Heap (20 points)
Win a Player Match against 3 or more opponents
The easiest way to win this is to play with a friend and 2 easy AI players. Your friend can even help you by placing tiles for you. Very easy this way.
Note: you will get the achievement even if you are tied with the second player.
[edit] The Count of Carcassonne (20 points)
Score 150+ points in a Single Player game
To get this achievement, all you have to do is score 150 points in 1 single player game which is probably the hardest achievement (but still very makeable) These are your possibilities to score:
During the game:
- Build a city = 2 points / tile + 2 points for every little blue/white shield inside your city.
- Build a road = 1 point / tile.
- Build a Monastery (which can also be done by surrounding a cemetery with tiles = 9 points.
After the game:
- Unfinished city with your follower inside = 1 point / tile.
- Unfinished road with your follower on it = 1 point / tile.
- Unfinished Monasteries with your follower = 1 point / adjacent tile.
- For every farm = 3 points per city that is supplied by a farm (see "Farm Boy" achievement.
[edit] Metropolis (25 points)
Score a City with 9+ tiles in a Player Match vs. 2 or more opponents
Again, very easy if done with a friend. Just have your friend place city tiles that will enlarge your city. If you both place a follower inside, you will both get the achievement.
[edit] Lord of Carcassonne (25 points)
Beat an opponent in a Player Match by 50+ points
Just make sure your friend uses his tiles to help you instead of making points for himself.
[edit] Ultimate Score (25 points)
Score a total of 5000+ points from all your Carcassonne games combined
Not much to say about this one. Every point you do counts towards it, doesn't matter if it is from a single player, a player or a ranked match.Once you know how to play you will probably average at about 130 points per game in single player with an easy AI player.
