The Oathbound Wachter has 'Gift of Providence', which gives a unit 100% crit chance. So 7 Watchers + 7 random units = instachievement.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall (PC) - Achievement - Make your own luck
Score 7 successful critical hits in a single round of combat
The ability to score a critical hit is based on two things - unit happiness and MOD's. To obtain this achievement I played as the Assembly as their Vorpal Snipers have the 'Vorpal Shot' ability which is a 'Power Shot' giving it a +15% crit chance. I also outfitted them with a particlar set of MOD's in the Synthesis tech tree:
- Targeting Daemon Shell: +10% crit chance (amongst other things)
- Ocular Implants(Detector): +20% crit chance (amongst other things)
- Kinetic Phase Modulator: This doesn't increase crit chance at all, but allows it to ignore 50% of accuracy penalties from line of sight and units in the way. My logic behind this being - You can't crit if you don't hit.
Depending on your race / tech, there may be other MOD's equally or more suitable, but this is a good starting point.
I did this late game after I had 'The Re-Cycle of Life' Doctrine enacted, giving all units +400 morale. I also had a good relation with my race, proving a further +200 morale, so morale of all of my snipers was maxed out.
Once the above has been done, it's just about getting the numbers in the fight - Ideally at least 3 full groups of snipers against as many enemies as possible. You may need to save and re-load as there is an element of chance.

Isn't this better to do with low level Oathbound Units with Synthesis tech?
Oathbound has units with 'Precognition' abilities (I can't remember which), which can garantee your troops critting hits. I believe they also have an Operation that increases this.

It's definitely not the only solution - Just what I used. I thought Precognition blocked an incoming attack though? Unless I misread the description of it, I didn't think it had anything to do with crits?
