Most of these can be completed in a skirmish game with no enemy A.I. I prefer to use king of the hill in the large map games for the solo runs or ones where you need an A.I. When doing the ones for Test of Strength just use the islands maps and choose wonder victory only. Start all maps with full maximum money and age 1 unless you are doing test of strength then do age 4.

Start a solo skirmish with starting resources set to high, but not max. Build 2 houses and start cranking out peons. Harvest nothing but wood until your wood resource is at least 51,000. Then to be sure just build your house of wisdom and build the first wing and then surrender the match.
The Path TakenResearch the first technology available from a wing in your House of Wisdom, before reaching Castle Age III.

The Super-Human Subjugator achievement in Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition worth 246 pointsWin a 1v1 match against the Hardest A.I.
Just be sure to use Abbasid Dynasty as your race instead of Chinese and be sure to use Easy A.I. So far this has worked for all mastery events. The one addition I would suggest is build walls around your settlement in case the enemy lands troop ships. I also suggest building at least 2 shipyards on the furthest side of your island from the enemy and making tons of explosive ships to destroy anything that they send at you.

Defeat 30 enemy units with Infantry who are receiving support from Camels.
Start a skirmish on king of the hill map at age 1 with max money. Have 1 enemy A.I. at Intermediate difficulty and 1 ally A.I. at easy difficulty. Build your house of wisdom and start the upgrade for the military wing. This wing has the upgrade in it to make camel riders give a buff to your foot soldiers. Then build about 7 Barracks and as soon as you hit age 2 build 3 stables. Build 2 black smiths and buy all upgrades as they become available that deal with defense of any kind, the melee offense and any camel upgrades and build enough houses to support at least 90 in your army.
With 1 Barracks and 1 Stable build the upgrades for the units that you will use to fight. You'll want to use 10 camel riders and make them control group 2 and then you will want to use men-at-arms for your main force. It's suggest making 50+ of them and make them control group 1. Once your army is built go and attack the enemy units. Keep the camel riders constantly moving so they do not steal kills from your melee units. The men-at-arms have to do all the killing. Your men-at-arms will have a slight glow to them when they are getting the buff from the camel riders. On the off chance that it took you too long to build up your army then make some artillery units if the enemy has finished their stone walls as your infantry can not damage stone walls. Just keep killing with your men-at-arms until you have 30 kills and then surrender the match.

Research 30 technologies discounted by the Preservation of Knowledge.
Start a solo skirmish game age 1 with max money. Build your house of wisdom and then build the knowledge wing upgrade. This one has the Preservation of Knowledge (-30% cost on upgrades) technology in it. Research this technology as soon as you can. Meanwhile start building every single building that you can which has upgrades. All 4 unit producing type buildings, all 3 of the resource collection buildings, a blacksmith, fortress, defense tower and library. Also keep upgrading your house of wisdom to age 5.
Keep a mental count of how many upgrades you started doing AFTER you finished research on Preservation of Knowledge. Once you get to 30 then surrender the match.
Culture of TradeKeep a mental count of how many upgrades you started doing AFTER you finished research on Preservation of Knowledge. Once you get to 30 then surrender the match.
Accrue 5000 gold from your Traders after researching Spice Roads.
Start a skirmish match with yourself and 1 hard A.I. Put the A.I. on your team and set starting age to 4. Once the match starts build your house of wisdom and research sprice roads which should be located on the right hand top technology in house of wisdom. Then build a few trading posts and wait for the A.I. to build their trading post. Once this is done just send a bunch of traders to their market and wait for them to return with money. Once they have returned with at least 5000g you can surrender the match.

Produce 100 military units after achieving Tier 3 of the Golden Age.
Start a skirmish solo with max resources and age 4. Build 25 barracks and 35 houses. Once they are fully built you should have 60 buildings. Make sure all the affect areas of the buildings you are building are overlapping. Also build a house of wisdom. Once the house of wisdom has Golden Age 3 just select all of your barracks at the same time and hold left shift and spam click the base soldier until you can't make anymore. Set their waypoint to somewhere away from the buildings. Once you have a pile confirm there are at least 100 in it and then surrender the game.
Smell of DefeatDefeat 30 enemy cavalry units with your Camel Riders.
There is an exploit with this one in the game as of writing. You can just start at age 3 on a solo map and build 30 camel riders and then select all 30 and hold the delete key until they all die. The surrender the game.
Otherwise you will have to actually fight 30 enemy cavalry in order get this to trigger.
Heart and MindOtherwise you will have to actually fight 30 enemy cavalry in order get this to trigger.
Heal 3000 health on friendly units using your Medical Centers.
Start a skirmish on age 1 with max money. Have 1 hard opponent and 1 easy ally. Build up your base and try to get 60 connected buildings so you have fast production. Upgrade all your camel riders and mounted archers to maximum and pick up the upgrade from your house of wisdom that has healing on your forts.
Once you have a large army. Take 100+ mounted units both melee and ranged along with about 10 peons and go just outside the range of the enemy base.
I'd say about 1-1 and 1/2 screens from it. Use the peons to construct 2 fortresses with only one space between them. Then use your army to run into the enemy base and take as much damage on different units as you can. Just remember once they start attacking they focus a unit until it is dead so you'll need to run out of range and back in to get damage on different targets. Once you have some damage run back and stand next to your forts and they will heal very slowly.
Do this until you've healed 3000 health and then surrender.
Test of Strength IIIOnce you have a large army. Take 100+ mounted units both melee and ranged along with about 10 peons and go just outside the range of the enemy base.

Win a 1v1 Custom or Skirmish match against the Hard A.I.
Use the same tactic listed in ToS II and ToS I. Just make sure the enemy is set to Hard A.I. This is also used for ToS IV.
Bounty of EarthIncrease the yield of 18 Berry Bushes and accrue 9000 food.
When you place a windmill it has an area of influence around it. Just make sure berry bushes are in this area and they are upgraded. It doubles the amount of berries in the bush. Do this on 18 different bushes and harvest them all and you will have exactly 9000 berries. Do this in a solo skirmish game and surrender once finished. Make sure you don't use max resources as it is hard to know if you are gaining anything.
Resourceful in WarfareConstruct 10 ranged siege units with your melee infantry.
Again, do this on a solo skirmish. Age 4 max resources. Build a smithy and buy the upgrade for siege that allows you to build them with infantry. Then build a barracks and build about 10 infantry. Now just have them construct 10 siege weapons and then surrender.
No Higher HonorWin a Wonder Victory after achieving Tier 3 of the Golden Age.
Play a solo skirmish and make sure wonder victory is turned on. Build your wonder and then build up your settlement until you have 60 connected buildings so that you are Golden Age 3 and then wait out the timer.
Test of Strength IVWin a 1v1 Custom or Skirmish match against the Hardest A.I.
Use the same tactic listed in ToS II and ToS I. Just make sure the enemy is set to Hardest A.I. This is also used for ToS IV.

I had a glitch for this achievement not unlocking when I completed all the tasks a couple months ago (in Feburary 2024) and had an open ticket with AoE Support Team to help me with that. Today when I randomly launched the game to see if anything has changed - it finally popped without me doing anything else. So either they did something on their end or xbox service has finally synchronized with the in-game achievements. Leaving this comment for the folks with the similar problem - just try to launch the game from time to time and see if it helps you.

"Resourceful in Warfare" - I couldn't get this to work and doing a little search I see people saying to build the siege engines before Age IV.
