This is a guide that I've made to optimize the obtaining of the different achievements that are linked, but I'm a visual guy so I drawed a schematic view of the 344 current achievements.

This guide is not a detailed one of how to popup the differents achievements, for that, you have excellents guides around here, with plenty of strategics, videos,tips and much, much more.

When I started playing AOE2DE I discovered that after playing a civilization I needed to play again because that civilization has a related achievement. Of course, I've used other great guides on how to display some achievements, but if you need to see them in a correlated way, the tree and branch structure is an easy way without the need to do a lot of reading.

Red Sphere = Where everything starts...
Violet Spheres = This is where you can obtain the achievement, Campaigns, a specific Civ, Multiplayer or Miscellaneous.
Blue Spheres = The game classification, Historical Battles, African, American, Asian, European and DLC Campaigns
Green Spheres = Name of the Historical Character
Orange Spheres = The Achievements, and inside them if applies the number of the mission where you can obtain it or the * if applies to the whole campaign.

In this branch you're gonna find all the civilization especific achievements, most of them are just only a victory with that civilizacition, and the jewel of the crown is given when you win with every civilization from the base game. Also you can see linked achievements that you can reach with a specific civilization.
