Bump. Wow 3 months and this bug is not fixed yet.

Did the mission today and the achievement was not granted.

Please find my two replays attached: one proving that Thoros was about to leave Tarsos with all his 20 villagers intact, and the other of me actually beating the scenario.

Have a look at this post, some players had this same issue and managed to trigger the achievement:

I’ll talk with the team to double check the achievement itself and/or the description.

Thank you.

Actually I found out what was the issue before seeing your response and managed to get the achievement in another play session.

Why the achievement didn’t fire?
If you let your villagers garrisoned inside your TC when the timer expires, it will count as a villager loss (hence why I dropped from 20 villagers to 6 all of a sudden in my replay record posted above). Those 6 villagers that were left were garrisoned inside a Fortified Church.

In my next attempt, I just had them all garrisoned inside 2 Fortified Churches all the time and the achievement did fire this time.

Keep in mind that while it certainly has a workaround, the fact that you lose villager count just because they were inside your TC doesn’t feel right, and I’d still consider it a bug. I’m not sure if the same problem occurs if the villagers were garrisoned inside the Castle, but it is possible.
