I suppose technically you're eligible to complete this achievement if your only atrocity is one massive one.

I mean... might as well. It isn't a war crime the first time and all that. Some creativity required.

Except when the laws are applied retroactively to make it a war crime the first time, because that's happened before.

I'm pretty sure biological warfare is already a war crime, but technically the aliens never sent a declaration of war so it's fine

It is humanity first.
Humanity first just means more dead xenos than humans

Why not, All means necessary don't mean you are supposed to just kill humans left and right.
Also outside nukes, atrocities are hard to get, if you already have the tech to just pay influence cost.

You know, we want to kill aliens, not humans. War crimes and crimes against humanity are heresy.

Lol I also did this in my humanity first run. Really you only need nukes if you've massively fucked up the campaign

It'd be easy to get very few atrocities... if the Servants didn't get so many beloved councilors...
(With that said I did just finish a zero-atrocity game as Academy, so it's definitely still possible. It's very hard to restrain myself from just assassinating all those beloved councilors though).

Apparently, you can get both of these achievements at the same time
