O-oh boy...well I guess he'd achieved his ultimate goal, perhaps there was nothing else after that.
That's what I love about these sorts of emergent systems. Although I was discussing it with a friend, there's a great ars war story on ultima: https://youtu.be/KFNxJVTJleE?si=GXkjTKZNN6H_xoUe
Won't spoil it for you but we did have a great discussion from that around how emergent gameplay can be amazing, but player agency means that you'd still need the "hand of God" to be involved in fixing things and making adjustments so that major plot points and still enabled and the player doesn't kill the entire world (unless that's the point of the game I suppose).
