    This achievement requires your enemy to have a force 10 times bigger than you have, and you still need to win the battle.

    Option 1
    I did this playing as the Dwarves. Ironbreakers are really strong melee characters and survive, A LOT. They have shields so arrows don't do much on them. Quarrelers and Rangers are great archers (not the best in the game, but really good) and Grudge Throwers are good artillery against large groups of enemy.

    I had 20 regiments in my lord's army but they were heaily damaged from another fight, leaving me with a lot less units.

    The easiest enemy to fight against with such large numbers, are vampires or beastmen. These factions have really big unit groups that aren't really strong, like bats, zombies, gors, ungor raiders, etc. The downside to Vampires are that they do not break, they dissolve at a certain moment, but never flee te battlefield. Beastmen do flee, but have stronger units than vampires.

    Getting the right army against the right army is partially luck based too. Beastmen sometimes flee and you can only try to predict how much units the enemy has.

    After you get a battle that seems the right amount of enemies against yours, play very defensive. As long as you have artillery in your army, the enemy army will always march to your place. Use artillery to pick off as many enemies as possible. Quarrellers (main game) and Rangers (from the DLC) are great archer units for destroying big hordes of enemies without shields. Use your ironbreakers just in front of your ranged, intercepting any melee or cavalry going for you artillery or archers.
    If flyers attack your artillery (like the bats from the vampires) try to devert one archer group to them or use your hero on defending the artillery.

    This comes down to how much skill you have, and i found it easier to do in co-op. As you can divide the army between two players, so one can focus on defending ranged and the other using the ranged optimally. Use everything you've learned in the game on tactics, and it's quite do-able.
    Don't try to kill all the units, just try to break them, by flanking or using magic. As long as all enemy units are broken and the battle is (if the numbers were correct), the achievement should unlock.

    Option 2
    Another easy way is to play the Empire. The Empire has really, really strong units called Steam Tanks. On the easiest difficulty it'll be enough to have 19 steam tanks and one hero. If you choose the Vampire or beastmen, for the big unit groups you can easily get the achievement this way.

    Hope this helps, and good luck! smile
