So...how do you win?

from Elemental Forums

This is an exceedingly remedial question, and for that I apologize, but I can't seem to find the answer on the forums here.

I know you can win by conquest (kill 'em all!) but what other paths are there to victory and how exactly can you reach them?

I seem to remember mentions of diplomacy and a Master Quest and other things from old interviews, but do they work?  Is it feasible -- as a challenge to myself -- to attempt victory in some other ways than building a vast empire, training a massive army, and conquering all?

Thanks!

There are both the Master Quest, which you can get when you reach Quest Level 5, and the Spell of Mastery, which you can get through researching Sorcery / Magic, and learning.

In terms of diplomacy, you need to research Alliances in the Diplomacy tree, then proceed to secure those alliances with the other factions. I was able to hit that victory last night... granted it was after finishing off most of my opponents, then just acquiring enough gold to setup the last alliance.
