What happens if you don't win?  Game over on day 1 of year 5?

Nope, the game goes into sandbox mode. Actually, if you mess up at certain key points in the game, the storyline just disappears, and the game goes into sandbox mode. There's only 1 game ending path: DYING. Either in combat or through making the wrong choices.
Also, in terms of house relationships, having a negative relation only makes contracts with that house less lucrative, or they don't offer you contracts at all. But the most lucrative thing to do is just take davion and steiner contracts. Actually, just choose one of those.

Or, play in the sandbox, with the goal of getting every faction to love you.  Be the Mercs everyone wants to hire!

Is it possible to have factions gain new planets from others? If so, definitely take the smallest faction and make them the undisputed rulers of the galaxy.

Otherwise, just see if you can become the best mercs.

Nope, no planet changing hands.
I'm not sure if you can get everyone to love you, since missions usually clash. For instance, a Davion planetary defence might annoy Kurita, since Kurita is doing the assault! Though I guess you could restrain yourself to squashing rebellions or something else that probably doesn't affect other factions.
You can't become the BEST mercs, since you are forever limited to hiring 3 pilots at max. So you'll never have more than a lance of 4. It's fairly easy to get everyone to excellent/excellent... just go on missions with them without getting them killed. Or you can just hire people who are naturally Excellent/excellent once you have the best reputation, which is also easy to get. In terms of mechs, there's not much to do once you've gotten 4 battlemasters, 4 warhammers, 4 locusts....

So, how did finals go? Is this thread officially dead?
