 | Military Service (20) Deploy total of 300 times or more |
It has been my experience that most people playing normally will get their Marching Service and Military Service medals about the same time.
War Related Medals: 4
 | Bronze Patriot (20) Stay w/ same nation for 3 seasons |
 | Capital Occupation (20) Affiliated nation destroys another |
 | Nation Resurrector (20) Successfully revive affiliated nation |
 | Neroimus War Medal (40) Affiliated nation wins Neroimus War |
Any war in which your squad changes allegiance will NOT count, so it will require staying in that nation for 3 wars AFTER the war in which your squad last changed nations in order to get the Bronze Patriot medal. You do NOT have to participate in the guerilla battles in order to qualify for the Nation Resurrector medal. Actually, you do NOT have to be active online to earn any of these medals. You will however have to log in to get awarded any medals you may have earned while away.
Leader-Board Related Medals: 6
Note: due to rampant 'boosting' it is common for all of these medals to be awarded to boosters most of the time. On rare occasions a few squads have managed to earn some of them legitimately.
 | Gold Eagle (20) #1 in total fame for a given period |
 | Gold Wing (20) #1 in avg total fame for a given period |
 | Gold Sword Cross (20) #1 in total conquest pts for period |
These medals are awarded to the squad that maintains the top rank on the respective 'Totals' leader-boards for 72 hours. However, it would seem that the there is a bug in the game and the Gold Wing and Gold Sword Cross are switched.
 | Gold Cross (20) #1 in seasonal fame at end |
 | Gold Hexagon (20) #1 in average seasonal fame at end |
 | Gold Lion (20) #1 in seasonal conquest points at end |
These medals are awarded to the squad that attained the top rank on the respective leader-boards at the end of each war.
Secret Achievements: 7
 | Combat Award (20) [secret] Win 10 times when outnumbered |
In order to qualify for this award you must be outnumbered 3:1 and win the mission. Basically, in a 3v3 mission two of your squad-mates must die before any of the other hounds and you must proceed to win the mission, by any of the three possible conditions (destroy all 3 enemy HOUNDS, maintain COMBAS superiority or destroy the enemy base).
 | Dist. Service (20) [secret] Destroy unidentified enemy weapon |
The 'Unidentified Weapons' also commonly referred to as 'Secret Weapons' or 'Super Weapons' and have their own reference page: Unidentified Weapons
 | Bloodless Award (20) [secret] Win 5 times w/o attacking enemy |
Consolation award for not having done your part on the mission.
 | Humane Award (20) [secret] End 5 times in a row w/o killing enemy |
Easy to get by attacking bases and not the enemy hounds (see HVG Valor, Bronze Hammer or Silver Hammer medals).
 | Silver Patriot (20) [secret] Donate to affiliate nation 1 times |
You only need to donate once to get this medal. There is no reason to donate more than once.
 | Touring Service (20) [secret] Deploy to every Battlefield once |
You do not have to win the mission, but you do have to complete it. If you are dropped during the mission (i.e. you do NOT make it to the post-mission briefing) then it did NOT count. You can use one of the check-lists on this site to help keep track of the maps you have deployed on (see Maps Checklists under Neroimus Battlefields section).
 | Hound Specialist (20) [secret] Own one of every part in the game |
You must purchase all of the hound parts available in the stores in all three nations. Story mode and downloadable content are NOT required for this medal. You can use the HOUND Parts Stats reference tables to see which parts you may be missing. The 'price' column indicates if the part is download, story-mode or shows the MSRP.
