I can’t get Leader of Men achievement because of a bug that causes the Smith’s Workshop from the mission Pyres on the Coast to be the Infantry Aura II instead of Infantry Aura III after getting Infantry Aura II from the previous mission of I am Brasidas as you can see from images below

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Play I am Brasidas mission and get the Infantry Aura II from Smith’s Workshop and beat the mission.
  2. Play Pyres on the Coast mission and kill 3 packs of Lions to open up the Smith’s Workshop and it has the same Infantry Aura II even when I already selected it from the previous mission.

Unlocked Infantry Aura III from the Smith’s Workshop in the mission Pyres on the Coast thus gaining the last Aura needed to get Leader of Men achievement.

Hi @EricTheRed283

Thanks for reporting this issue with the Infatry aura. We are already tracking the issue.

Hi. After I finished all the quests in hard and did the rest of the achievements in the meantime, I saw the last achievement “leader of men”. I replayed all the campaign from the start, in standard difficulty. I played all campaigns and after each campaign I pressed the “next” button. I used Archery Aura Level 1/2/3 in campaigns 2 3 and 5 respectively, Galleon / Cavalry Aura 1/2/3 in 8 / 9 / 11 and Infantry for Brasidas in campaigns 16/17. CAREFUL it only gave me LEVEL TWO Aura in BOTH those quests. Its bugged I think. I earned the achivement when I got level two aura for the second time. I hope this helps. TLDR : I still got the achievement although the bug.

I notice that you start the first Spartans mission with Infantry Aura level 1 already. So it should give you level 2 in that one, and level 3 in the next. But you still get it, which means it will pop after you’ve researched the last aura level that is not the same with previous ones.
