"Confident" Achievement. *spoilers*

I was unable to engage him until after recruiting every single Ally race, and when engaging, I can only proceed by using my Allies, one at a time versus each of his armies. There is no way that I can engage him without my allies, or with less than all the allies there. Am I missing something in getting this achievement? It is the only one I cannot figure out how to get. I've left a Save file there just so that I can figure out how to earn this achievement.

Can anyone shed any light on the subject, because after about a week of Googling for more info, I've found no answers.

Thanks in advance, all of you. Otherwise, love the game, despite the occasional crashes.

Do NOT get the Demons as allies (they are optional). Do NOT get the Humans (Selby if you did the right dialogue early on).

However, if you do this, you will encounter the spellbook bug where you will lose your entire spellbook after fighting of the armies with your own army.

(game forgets to keep your old spellbook state if you engage in one of the battles yourself.).
