HunchBluntley: How do you beat a sandbox game with no story, no "final boss", etc.? I don't think the original, unmodded
M&B has any explicit win condition, does it?
Themken: There pops up a dialogue screen telling you that you have won. You can close it and keep playing but I think it returns once every day or so. There is just nothing to do after you have won though as by that time you are so overpowered that beating bandit bands is boring unless you fire your whole army and go solo and there are NO enemy factions left so no enemy lords to fight. It has taken me around a thousand in-game days to beat the vanilla game.
Interesting. I had no idea. So the win condition is pretty much "ally with a faction, then help them take over and hold every town and castle owned by every other faction"? Do you have to be max level, as well?
EDIT:
Themken: [...] beating bandit bands is boring [...]
BTW, nice alliteration. ;)
