How to unlock the The King Is Dead, Long Live the King! achievement in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

This is done by beating an AI on the "Easiest" difficulty. So the wording of Peaceful is just off.

I combined this achievement with a Regicide game while also deleting my initial town centre. I then spammed some petards and killed the King with those units. They kill buildings really fast too, something which the King will be hiding in.

To setup this combination match:

Note that the treaty is optional. I did that so I could make the 100 Throwing Axemen (that's why I chose the Franks)
Age of Empires II: Definitive EditionFrankly My Dear...The Frankly My Dear... achievement in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition worth 23 pointsCreate 100 Throwing Axeman in a single match.

Deleting your TC (Town Centre) then will net you at the end of the game:

And of course the achievement what this guide is for

Put the treaty to 10+ minutes. Immediatly build a town center for more villagers then spam castles. Send all your petards to the enemies town center (where the king is) and surround it. By the time the treaty ends the king will be trapped and instant victory.

Something's not right here, I've won two Regicide games now, just got the Out with a Bang achievement, and this one still won't pop. Is there anything else I'm supposed to do, like not have it set to infinite resources or full map reveal or something?

If you have another account, or a friend with the game, this achievement (and all the other “win as” achievements) can be done without any effort.

Go to Multiplayer and host a game. Make sure the settings are for 2 players and set to private to close it from a random joining. Once the lobby is created, click “Y” to open game setting, change the Game Mode to "Regicide", turn off the setting for being on the same team and save. Invite the other account/friend.

Start the game and have the other player resign. I had to back out of the game back to the lobby after the "victory" banner appeared for the achievement to pop.

In a regicide game each player has a King they must defend. The objective is to kill the enemy king. The best way to do this is 1vs1 random map against an easy AI, Tiny map, any other settings.
 
You will also want to try and kill the king with a Petard or Demolition Ship as by doing so you will also unlock Out with a Bang (20G).
