How to unlock the Kaboom achievement in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

Once you reach 1k kill the achievement will instantly popped.
Unlike the AOE1, please don't use scenairo editor to try this (maybe all of goals) in AOE2:DE
Friends try this settings in skirmish mode:
civ: Chinese (Player, high demoship HP) VS Aztecs (Very hard AI)
map: mini size island map
infinite resourses
10min treaty
150 or more population
post imperial age

In 8min you can build up mass of castles to aviod landing forces, and you can build around 10 shipyards and mass of houses for preparation. Then, save a file.
When battle begins, boom anything on water or near the water, all counts.
you can win the achievements in 15 minutes I believe.

worked great for me, the AI was piling up troops on the shore for loading ontop transports, demo ships taking about 20 at a time. Awesome.

Took about 15mins.

I used team islands and in the 15min treaty time amassed demo ships on their border on aggressive stance, then just targeted shoreline troops individually. Lot of fun.

Note that unlike wololo (convert 1000 units) you can't do this one in a custom scenario / campaign, I know because I tried at length.

Great solution! Took me about 15 mins as well. Was expecting this to take a looooong time as i don't really use demo ships casually. Up vote from me!

Great solution, I used all the above tactics but changed mode to Team Death Match, On Moderate Difficulty - Any Lower and they AI doesn't produce enough units. I was the Huns so I didnt have to go through the tedious process of house building. I literally followed the tactics above, built around 10 docks 2 castles to provie cover for the docks, then spam build demo ships. Unlocked in ten mins

I had a lot of fun unlocking this achievement with the above mentioned steps. I actually had to laugh because of all the explosions happening at the enemies fleet as well as his shorelines. Where a lot of troops would walk and KABOOM.

Also this was the last achievement I still needed to get all the achievements for this game.

The only thing the enemy did was building a wonder asap whitout training any ships or whatever. Difficulty doesn't matter

Great solution. Took 18 in-game minutes playing on fast. CPU on highest difficulty and on islands - just send the demo ships at the ships and castles/buildings that are inevitably built on the shoreline. Literally takes minutes and most of the work is done for you by your own AI.

Start a standard game with the following settings:
 
  • 1 Enemy - Hard difficulty or higher
  • Civilization - Any with heavy demolition ship, I chose Huns to avoid having to build houses
  • Treaty Length 15 minutes
  • Islands map with Tiny size
  • Post Imperial Age start
  • Turbo Mode on
  • Infinite Resources
Once it starts send your villagers out to build lots of docks and castles along the edge of your island to defend it. As soon as the docks are built start spamming out demolition ships. By the time the treaty ends you should have a large collection of them (make a save here so if you want to come back later you don't need to rebuild), then just send them in and repeatedly build more to replace, making sure they are set to either aggressive stance or so you have them on attack move/patrol so they kill the first enemies they come across. It should only take another 10 to 15 minutes to kill 1000 enemies.
