Any tips on getting the Paul Bunyon Achievement. Its taking forever. The catch is I still want to try to win each game, so I dont want to just start as Hiawatha and clear cut everything. Any suggestions to speed up the achievement while still trying to win games?

I was thinking of starting a duel pangeae with rome, and as opponent egypt, to get two achievements: zeupiter (capture the statue of zeus as rome) and tomb raider (pillage from a city with a burial tomb)
now offcours low difficulty to get it over quickly (so chieftain probably). how sure can i be that they will build the two buildings required? or is it best to build the statue in a city and gift it to them? will the temple change to a burial tomb when you give a city?
I think you can be pretty sure they're going to build a burial tomb. But on low difficulty, it's going to be unsure if they ever build the statue of Zeus. But I guess that maybe you can gift it to them.
One suggestion I heard about this one is to build an ironclad, gift it to a city state, declare war and sink the ironclad you gave them.
I'm sure I could find this some where else on the internet if I tried but how do I check the log files to see my achievement progress?
Edit: Wait no I found it
Does anyone know whether taking the Genghis Khan achievement in the Mongol scenario also make you get the lesser ones (Kublai, Supreme and Great Khan)? It does say "Win on King/Emperor/Immortal or harder difficulty"..
The way I got this one was brute force...:
1) load up an old save with tons of forest, build about 20 workers
2) put each one on a forest tile then save
3) issue 20 chop orders (rapid fire alt-c)
4) reload and repeat 3)
The reloaded chops will count as much as any other, so this way gets one chop about every two seconds (plus loading time). After repeating 4) < 50 times the achievement will pop!
Edit- ah. Well, the liberty track and Pyramids will speed up chop times to 2 (maybe 1) turn. Building improvements on tiles also count (prior to cheesing this, this was how I got the first hundred or so I had). Going for large pangeas, with low sea levels will maximise land / forests. Playing quick speed games will speed development too (as would starting in later ages).
Perhaps nukes might also help...
