Civilization:

Your Civilization: French
A.I. Civilization: English

Starting Conditions:

Staring Resources: High
Starting Age: Age IV
Map State: Revealed

Map Setup:

Walkthrough:

- With the villagers you begin with immediately start building your wonder.

- Keep making villagers to work on the wonder.

- Once the wonder is built you will have to defend it for 15 minutes. Use this time and the remaining resources to keep building walls and stone wall towers around your wonder to defend it.

- Do not make any other units except for villagers.

This method works. You can make this even easier if you set the AI to the same team as you. Then just wait out the Wonder victory.

You can get this in a skirmish match vs AI by having an AI ally (same team number as you). Start the game then immediately surrender.
As technically your team won this will still count for the achievement.

EDIT: I think this has been patched?
