For the life of me, I can't trigger these.

Fighting For Peace

Dungeons & Drakken

Any suggestions and/or explanations?

Another one -

I Built it my way

For fighing for peace I turned the difficulty down 1 or two from where I usually play.  After that, it's just a matter of making sure the AI doesn't declare on you.  To do that you have to have a strong military (the unit's don't need to be great, just have a lot of HP because that's how the AI judges military strength) so they don't want to declare and you and don't stay at cold war with them.  

Offer peace, and if they don't take it, force it on them.  If they are at peace, the won't just randomly declare on you, they will go back to cold war before declaring.

For Dungeons and Drakkens I don't remember if you needed 5 ruins in your exploitation or if you had to search 5 ruins on the same turn.  If it's 5 on the same turn, just don't search ruins until you find 5, then search them all on the same turn.  If it's 5 in your cities exploitation just make sure you build cities close enough to ruins.

For build it my way, just change the map setting before you make a game then, win that game.  Things that offer a different experience, you could turn resources on low or minor factions on hard, etc.  Just make sure you win the game.

I've been messing with the settings for the past 100 hours of gameplay, and can't seem to trigger it. Weird.

To have 5 ruins exploited is kinda trivial and I had it triggered without trying.

BFFs and Fighting for peace I just cheesed on easy difficulty, tiny map, with roving clans as AI and score victory only.

"I built it my way" - just make a custom faction and win, I had a blast with Allayi-Vaulters mix, but you can do whatever you want.

(custom world presets is a different achievement btw).

Hmm, interesting ideas. Thanks.

I wouldn't do score only victory (unless you need that achievement too).   With those settings you could probably win a science or economic victory much quicker.

You don't want to win too fast though, because you need the game to last at least 100 turns after getting an Alliance for BFF.

Exactly, I learned my lesson when I had to destroy all dust buildings so as to barely avoid economic victory preventing some other achievements I was going for.

Score victory lets you play 150 turns for sure and gets you closer to 10,000 turns achievement too.
