I'm having trouble with achievement 'Reverse level 1'. Can someone list the specific steps required to create a game that satisfies the criteria to get this achievement?

I've seen some references to this, such as:
https://www.warzone.com/Forum/359887-reverse-level-one
https://www.warzone.com/Forum/302167-reverse-level-1-achievement

The first link says to use https://www.warzone.com/SinglePlayer?TemplateID=12 in order to create a game and swap yourself to slot B - but I found when I use this template, it only allows me to select the AI as the 2nd player, and this needs to be a multiplayer game to get the achievement.

So I manually changed to URL to https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=12 and added a friend in slot A and moved myself to slot B, and also tried leaving me in slot A and just swapping our the AI and adding a friend in slot B, but neither worked because it changes from "Template: Level 1" to "Template: Custom" whenever I do this.

The second link says to use a finished game where this worked such as https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=15417044, go to Settings / Full Settings, then to the right of "Template Used:" click on "Level 1", which brings up a dialog box, so I click "Create Game", which brings up the game with me in Slot A & AI in Slot B, so I remove AI, move me to slot B & invite a friend and it still doesn't work, same result as above - the template shows as "Template: Custom".

Anyone know how to do this properly?

Did you set your web mode to flash? If not, try that here https://www.warzone.com/ChangeWebMode , then crate the game from the old game i linked when you open it in flash.

Cheers TBest! That did it, I missed the requirement for using Flash mode to create the game.

For anyone else trying to get this achievement and stumbling, to be clear, here's the steps:

* Change your web mode to Flash (currently this setting is within Account Settings)
* Then navigate to here: https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=12
* Customize the template to remove AI, add a friend, give yourself slot B
* Start the game
* Have your friend Surrender or just lose

Result:

You unlocked 1 achievement in this game:
5,000 points for Reverse Level 1"

Thanks again TBest.

I did it against an Open Seat.

And you beat the player who picked up the open seat?

That was the 5th attempt :P

Wow, that was some pretty epic poor playing by the player in slot A.

Which of course is required for slot B to win. Like a comedy of errors, kept attacking the wrong spot or totally ignoring the right spot.

But hats off to winning from a legit multiplayer game with that starting deficit.
