EDIT: Issue only exists on Xbox One X system. Xbox Series X can run up to 8 teams in a skirmish while Xbox One limits you to 4
—————————
Be Subtle achievement asks the player to reveal the location of 300 villagers with one use of the Imperial Spy ability from the Chinese civilization.
The problem is this is not possible on Xbox One without using friends to cheese/boost for you.
I played 1v3 AI on hard and hardest difficulties. After two hours of gameplay each, the maximum number of villagers each built was between 60-70 villagers for a total of 180-210 villagers. The AI will not get them to 300 total villagers (average 100 villagers) because it focuses on combat units and is limited to 200 population per civilization.

Here’s how I achieved this as I am on Xbox as well. Made a skirmish match on boulder bay, nomad, max resources, and revealed enemies. The teams were me vs a team of 3 (Hard) vs another team of 4 AI (Hard).
Off the bat sent my villagers to build a dock/transport and scuttle them to the corner of the map with the sacred point by itself surrounded by water. Turtled in and it wasn’t until fairly late in the game that I was able to actually get the achievement. You’ll want to build a few barracks asap as they will rush you and can catch you off guard with their garrisoned transports. Hope this helps.

Thank you! I switched to Xbox Series X (I was using the Xbox One) and achieved it without issue using your strategy.
