How to unlock the Raja of the People achievement in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide
Prithviraj Campaign, Mission 1(reworked from previous version).
The achievement pops immediately upon completing the first objective to save the villages, so no need to play the whole mission!
This is tricky to get because your units will get wiped out if you don't micro-manage and abuse the pause button.
Start immediately with a pause button, then split your forces into 2 groups with half of each unit in each group.
I did:
Left group: 2 Camel Riders, 2 Shrivamsha Riders, and 1 Scout.
Right group: the 6 other units.
Target each armored elephant with the respective groups, then wait for your groups to arrive and pause as necessary.
The groups will wipe out the elephants fast, and you need to be ready to target the enemy Light Cavalry(the only other really dangerous units to the town centers).
As soon as you kill the Cavalry units, pull your groups away from the town centers in a zig-zag fashion to lead the ranged units away.
If you lead them far enough away initially the Town Centers will be rescued, you DO NOT have to kill all the enemy units.
The range they need to get away is something like 10 squares from any of the town's buildings, although it may vary or there may be another mechanic at play.
Most likely neither town will be freed initially, and you will have to focus your forces.
I focused all my remaining units(4) on the east side town, and led the units away, while focus killing them. Then I did this with the other town.
Prithviraj is very useful as a tank, because the enemy units will attack him instead of the others, and it's very helpful to keep a camel rider alive to quickly kill the elephant archers.
This is a very fast achievement, but a little tough until you figure out how to make it work.

Just for the idiots like me maybe: This is not in one of the new campaigns, but the slightly reworked Prithviraj campaign in the Asia tab.
Also this worked quite well, thank you.^^

Ah yes, thank=you for the reminder! I forgot to make a note on that, I'm trying to add those tags to these solutions because they forgot to. lol!
And thanks for the feedback!
This one only took me like 5 tries... Doing this on Hard would be like Halo 2 LASO.

Split your initial army into two and rush them to kill the armoured elephants. Then the enemy scout.
(It's the best to go the east town centre first since it's further)
In one village, lure the ranged unit outside so they will focus on attacking other buildings. Focus your army in the other side in order to free it first.
Build archery range and train some skirmishers (since they're the cheapest), kill the remaining enemy units trying to attack your walls.
