OK, here comes the easy way:
You play wonderrace (scroll down where you select the game mode to find this mode) with the following settings:
Starting age: Post imperial
Starting ressources: very high or maybe even infinite works
Your civ: Spanish (Spanish villagers build 30% faster)
AI civ: One that doesn't get the tech Treadmill crane, for example Goth
Now when the game starts instantly start building a wonder.
Delete your scout, cue up a lot of villagers and set a rally point to the wonder. New villagers will automaticly go build on the wonder. Maybe you have to move them a bit from if the pathfinding messes up.
Let one villager build a few houses.
Now there should be no way for the AI do be faster than you.
Not only will you unlock this ach, but also:
The Supremely Unexpected achievement in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition worth 223 pointsWin a match as the Spanish while only creating Villagers.
The The Wonder, the Wonder, Noooooo... achievement in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition worth 9 pointsBuild a Wonder.
The Spanish Victory achievement in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition worth 12 pointsWin a game playing as the Spanish.

Great solution for getting this achievement in a few minutes.
For those new to the game, you can find the 1v1 game modes by clicking on the "Standard Game" shield.
You can select Game Speed: Fast and Advanced Settings: Turbo Mode to speed things along. You can set Reveal Map: All Visible to make it easy to keep an eye on how the AI are doing. You won't need more than 4 houses (25 population). You can delete your Town Center near the end to get another achievement.
The AI deleted their Town Center, and started building 3 Wonders! You have to try really hard to lose at Wonder Race ;)
This achievement does not stack with the other difficulties, so you have to do it 6 times:
Easiest (Peaceful)
Standard
Moderate
Hard
Hardest
Extreme (harder than hardest, lol)
I would queue up the villagers, select the Wonder, then alt-tab to the desktop/second screen and do something else while keeping half an eye on the construction progress.

The way I did this was set the location to nomad, Resources infinite and used the vikings as my civ but doesn't have to be them it could be any honestly. I also put map reveal to viable. Once all that is set change your game mode to wonder race and it will ask you to use the preferred settings and say no. If you don't say no to this you will have to set it all up again.
I first started off by building the wonder and set my other 2 villagers to build a town center. Once built I then had the town center build as many villagers as possible. Next set your one villager to build houses and then the other on the wonder. Once you get 25 pop or higher build another town center and then have that one queue up villagers.
The AI will get ahead at first but with two town centers producing villagers you will pass them at about 30% built.
My AI deleted there house and town center and left 10 villagers on the wonder and no more. Not sure if that is different for others.

Start a new Regicide game as the Spanish, any difficulty, any enemy. Select the "Real World - Earth" map type. I think it's a little easier to see what's going on with the Full Visibility option.
You start in Antarctica with a couple villagers, a transport ship, and your scout. Your opponent has the same... and will immediately move everything but the king into their transport and sail to South Africa. As soon as they leave Antarctica, attack the king with your scout and villagers. He's not capable of fighting back. He'll die pretty quickly, usually he'll flee at first and then get himself stuck against the edge of the map or the water. Takes less than a minute, even on the hardest difficulty.

I got this using a method a bit different from the other two guides here. I set up a 2 player game with teams on. I set myself and the AI to the same team and locked teams. I then played the game until all relics were collected or the wonder was completed.

The easiest method to do this is on Deathmatch. You set the game treaty time so that you have 90 minutes before can be attacked which means you arent on the same team but the AI gets temporary ally status. Then just build a few houses then spam villages to make a wonder and just wait.
The timer tuns out well before you can be attacked and you will unlock the achievement you can even go afk. The computer will just build towers and castles near you base to intimidate you.
The good thing about this method is you dont have to race the AI as it will try to go for a conquest victory as default leaving you to easily build your wonder and wait

Simply win a match against an Extreme AI. See below for a quick method to this.
Play Wonder Race, Infinite Resources, with any civilization, on desired difficulty setting, post-imperial starting age, Turbo building mode. As soon as it starts send two villagers to start building the wonder. Then spam up your villager create queue in Town Centre up to 14. While clicked on the Town Centre, quickly set Gathering Point on the wonder. This will automatically make a villager made from that Town Centre start working on the Wonder.
Have your third starting villager build another Town Center and spam the villager queue again, setting the gathering point to the Wonder, then have him start building houses. Seven or eight is probably more than sufficient.

If you win at this difficulty level, you will not receive achievements for lower difficulty levels.
Preparation: single player, nation - Huns, endless resources, map explored, starting and ending era - dark era.
From the start we grab 3 workers and run to the enemy base to build barracks. We order another 5-10 workers and drive to the enemy base. We need to build barracks and soldiers in them. The essence of the strategy is to build warriors without stopping (we order them through shift, this means immediately ordering 5 units) and send them to the enemy base. We need to throw "meat" at him. If we kill 20 enemy workers, we will get another Dark Humor achievement
Or you can create an “island” map, build a miracle, build castles and wait. It is better to make the unit limit 25 or 50
