I can't say how hard it is because I earned it very early on, before I started the guide. Back then I was a bit reckless, and sending a samurai to attack with only 1 HP is precisely the kind of thing I'd do. It's really not a hard achievement, it's getting down to 1 HP that can be tricky.
So now that Brave New World is announced, there's probably going to be a flood of new achievements coming up. I think the guide is pretty complete for now (I'll still do updates if there's any mistakes or anything), so I want to focus on redoing the formatting and editing instead of maintaining the guide, so when Brave New World's achievements are announced. Which probably means starting a new thread, because I will need more room. It's already pushing the character limit as is.

I had someone test out the Magellan achievement for me, seems to be working. I need to ask him some questions to make sure, but I'm probably going to take it off the broken list.
There's currently a bug in both Korea & Fall of Rome in which the defeat screen always shows up if playing a cooperative civ, but its independent of those achievements which appear to still use the correct logic. (If playing either Korea or China in Korea or either Rome in Fall of Rome; you'll get the time-loss screen if your team wins.) I'm not sure when this was introduced, because in case of the Korean scenario this used to work correctly.
And Yup; winning as Korea in the scenario doesn't count for the separate win as Korea achievement. For that you'll need to play the base game as Korea.
The achievement "Barbarian Warlord" can also be done by playing Manchu in the Korea Szenario( here the barbarians will join your army with a chanche of 100%) by converting 10 barbarian camps, although it says you have to do it as Bismarck.

Just wanted to post an update on what I've been doing with the guide lately. I've been looking into other ways to present it instead of a long forum post, and I've settled on a wiki after trying different ideas out. So I've been setting up a searchable wiki version of the guide, and once I get the basic form down, I'll post a link.
I want to expand the guide beyond just a description of achievements to include strategies and possibly links to achievement saves. All the culture references and trivia stuff will be on the achievement's page. There is also an index page which is similar to the current version of the guide.
So I could use some help editing and writing the guide once it's ready. One thing it could really use is visuals, I'm not a graphics-minded person.
