How to unlock the Glory Hunter achievement in Risk: Factions - Definitive Guide
Some have had trouble with unlocking this, so I would recommend doing this with a friend so you can control all factors.
* Host all 10 wins yourself
* Let the opponent capture at least one territory
Thereby I would recommend playing 2-player games for this one. You should be able to finish the Proving Grounds map within three rounds (All 4 Barracks, Garrison region (the region with the SE barrack) and Two continents objectives)
Some have managed to get this by letting the opponent quit out, but that also seem to mess up the stats of the one that quits, so it's safer but still quick to do it this way.

I can confirm that quiting out does not count as a win, even though its say you won at the end.

That Proving Grounds strategy is exactly how I got Win #10. (I was a bit lucky; I had all the Garrison territories right off the bat.)
In general, I found that the 2- or 3-player quick or normal Control Room games were best. I was often able to win in 3 rounds, and shorter games means both that your opponents are less likely to rage-disconnect, and that the game is less likely to freeze (which is does, often). All in all I'm glad to be done with this achievement...

We boosted for this achievement tonight, and quitting does work for this achievement.
Set up 2 player games with Factions, Ranked, Command Room, Random, Quick Games.
Now after placing the first capital, the host quits out and the other player wins this achievement.
Thanks to The Other Guys that boosted tonight!

You also commented on the Master & Commander achievement that it doesn't work, but we tried this and it worked for us. All I can add is that we all needed to win 11 or 12 games to get this achievement, so there is something somewhere that hasn't been posted by anyone yet. I think it's a matter of timing when to quit, so wait a bit, place your capital, maybe even start the first turn of the not-host. But there is NO need to win 3 objectives. I wouldn't post this if I hadn't experienced it first hand. I played the first 6 games by winning 3 objectives, but the last 4 I won using this exact method.

I think the key here is that it has to be the host quitting. I was the host a bunch of times and had people concede on me, and my win total never increased.

Just finished up a boosting session and the way it worked for us was: ( if you dont want to read all this scroll down )
we did the 5 player cheevo which counted as one win and then someone left so we split into 2 pairs.
my partner and i took turns hosting a factions,ranked,command room game. You can search it in custom games and make sure you get the right room, if youre host you can actually kick people who you wont want in your room.( kind of defeats the purpose of ranked in a way... )
when i hosted we would both place our capitals and my partner would take over my capital and me being the host would quit. The other group in our party tried it the reverse way and they didnt get the confetti and the happy leader of whatever group you were. So assuming the confetti is in correlation with this achievement the host has to quit.
Some say you just have to place the capital but we just placed them side by side and the non host would take over the host's capital and the host would quit the game. Including the first win from the 5 person cheevo it took exactly 9 wins to get this. Therefor this achievement can be done by quitting out if you do it right.
Short Version-
host 2 player ranked command room game
place both capitals
non host takes over enemy capital
host quits out
should take exactly 10 wins

I only tried your method for 2 games because that's when I saw it... I tried the method above yours and it didn't work, so I was playing normally with a friend, he was doing nothing and I would get the 3 objectives of the game and get the win...
I finished the 8th game when I saw your method, we tried it for the last two games and it didn't work... so we played the final two games like we did the other 8 and the achievement unlocked...
So, for me your method also didn't work :( No luck for me today

This is the exact method we did this today and it unlocked only for me and not for my partner. Guess he has to go through the actual winning solution.

Hi guys. I noticed that these guides all refer to boosting.
If your like me and prefer to get your achievements legitimately where possible, then here is an easy way;
Host up a command room game ideally 5 players and then you can get the "win 5 player command room game" achievement also. Rush to get the three objectives making sure that you retain your capital at all costs, (if you lose control of capital you cannot win via objectives until you re-take it). Once you get the three objectives you automatically win the game.
Now this usually takes the players by surprise and prevents rage quitting, thus securing you a win which is recorded as such and definitely counts towards this achievement.
Activity is dropping on this game, I have found the best time to go on for online players is between 6pm and 3am (UK time).
There are mixed opinions on people quitting counting as a win. Now I have found that when all players quit and you are left, although it says you are the winner it does not actually count as a win, in fact it counts as a loss. This was confirmed for me by checking the war record. I do not believe it counts towards the achievement if everyone quits.
I have found that the best way to guarantee a proper win is to secure the 3 objectives in command room. If you play world conquest people will mainly rage quit and prevent you from collecting a win.
Stick with the command room method and you will soon get this achievement.

This is a guide to boost this achievement and wins:
-When its buggy using the quit out method its because you are from different countries.
-Have the person going for the achievement not host. Then place your capitals and have the other player take over at least one territory. Once you each have a turn and it is the achievement getter's turn, the host can quit out and achievement unlocked.
-If quitting does not work, you can simply play a very quick game. Proving Grounds works great just make sure you get one objective each turn. Not sure if the host matters for this as I did it a few days ago but let me know and I'll add it in.

-If the quit out method works you want to have someone not getting the achievement host. Then you make sure everyone places there capital and the person going for the achievement takes over at least one country during his turn. Once everyone has had at least one turn, you make sure that it is the person going for the achievement's turn. Now the 3 other non-hosts quit, then the host quits, and viola! achievement unlocked for the remaining person.
-If this does not happen then you have to do it the slow way. Have the achivement getter host a game and then let them win. It is quickest to do the objectives in case you were wondering.
Any suggestions, let me know. I threw this together because this is what has worked for me in getting the RISK achievements and I want to help everyone else. I know other strategies will work this is just how I boosted.

As, the description says, win 10 ranked games on PSN. Because of the inconsistency in being able to find players online (particularly those that will stay until the end of a losing game) you are best off again utilizing the Trophy Boosting Thread in order to find a partner to knock this out with.
This guide was translated automatically.
Simple, if there is a partner for boosting. Choose:
PSN->Factions->player match->create game->command room->random->quick game->1 private ****->3 players (there are also cards for two of them + you can set up bots)->select a map ->sending an invitation to a friend.
One holds the bots, the other completes tasks, and so on until victory and a trophy.
PS At the same time, it’s better to play on those maps where you haven’t won yet (for the 5 Star General trophy)
