Hey, it seems that in F&S like in the original game you need loads of renown to join a faction. I'm just wondering, since i'm on day 122 and still got only 5 renown, is there any fast way to gain it? In WB you had tournaments but now... :/

What I ended up doing was picking a faction I did not want to join and start attacking their lords. You need a decent sized army that's well equiped for this though.

Just keep hunting down bandits and win battles. You get more renown if you win a battle where you are outnumbered. So bringing an entire army to take down a handful of bandits give you less renown than doing it with a few elites.

If you see a farmer in a tavern, grab the quest from him to rid his village of bandits; I got ~19 renown each time I did that.

Yes, doing quests with the Mayors in towns give renown.

Or you could just raid slow caravans and become rich at the same time.

My renown gain has been pathetic despite thrashing the Tsar repeatidly it was something like 40; my shortcut to joining a faction was to storm a castle and then offer my sword to a King.

Get a quick army supposedly full cavalries fight those you can beat have a tracker hero and manage to not go over 50 men for best renown results after battles.
