No sure how much it affects honor, but i know it takes a long time to change a trait/gain one so i dont believe it would have a massive effect until you done a ton of raids personally. It will pop the only companion complaint dialog but i dont think it really has any impact, like your companion wont leave. I believe you get a relationship hit to the notables in that village and the owner of the village but doesnt impact anyone else. So if these are lords you are trying to recruit at some point then yes you would want avoid raiding them.Thanks Blood, but doesn't that ruin my honor and generally make my companions and other lords hate me?
You have to decide if these negatives are worth taking territory easier.
Here is an example of where i was getting my influence from as a king of a faction.The other challenge I'm facing is racking up influence. While convenient to recruit wanderers, 500 a pop is kind of steep.
Thanks,
you can see almost half my daily influence was from owning settlements with built projects. The rest are mostly policies that you should think about enacting.
