Then in the game, load this save (it is called "Summer Son"), attack the nearest enemies until you run out of action points!

Completing one map takes an average of 40-50 minutes!
To simplify the task, download the save file
Place the save here: My Documents -> My Games\UnrealEngine3\AlienBreedEp1Game\SaveData
Load the game, choose single player and load from this save
Continue the game!

Day Five (04-05)
Mount & Blade: Warband
Playing as a female character, give a large sword to a companion from inventory.
Another way to obtain the achievement:
Place it here: \Documents\Mount&Blade Warband Savegames\Native\
1. Load from the save, go to the nearest friendly kingdom (highlighted in blue)
2. Click on it with the left mouse button. Choose "Disguise yourself and try to sneak into the town" and then "Surrender."
The guards will imprison you. All clothes and items from the inventory will go to the companions.
Another option:
"At the beginning, you exchanged the sword for what was in the inventory and then slept overnight in another city for payment"
howto do this:
Make a female character (why? because it says in the Warband achievement, it does not say in the steam achievement though, but it's better to be safe).
Once you're in Calradia, the land you're playing in, try and navigate to the closest city (they are bigger settlements than castles and villages).
Click on the city, enter the Tavern. Locate a man that isn't called Book Merchant, Wandering poet, Ransom Broker, or something with Mercenaries. In other words - someone with a real name. This person is a companion. Talk to him and hire him (this will cost you 200-300 denars*).
Press Tab to enter the City menu and enter the Marketplace->Weapon market. Look for the cheapest sword that is in the 'great sword' category (two-handed). It will cost up to some hundreds denars*
Leave the city and enter the party menu, lower right corner. Talk to your Male character -> take a look at his gear -> put the great sword in one of his weapon slots.
*If you lack money, you will have to raid some looters before getting the companion or the sword; do so by riding around until you find a gray unit running around, good luck!
Also, if there is no companion or great sword in the town you choose, you will simply have to ride to another town.
