Companions - Renown / Trust

[IntelHydralisk]

I noticed that some companions won't join you citing renown and trust as reasons.

Is there a list of how much renown you need to hire certain companions?

And what does trust mean?

Trust is Honour.

Thanks, also how many total companions are there in the native expansion? Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anyone.

16, I believe.

Erevan Ilesere, Achilles, Baheshtur, Katrin, Tismanu, Nizar, Thorgrim, Alyssa, Jinnai, Kana, Kelemvor, Deshavi, Klethi, Vorian, Xerina, and Aragorn.

Yep there are 16. I decided that I was gonna make an army of soley companions, so I was very sure to visit EVERY tavern in the game for at least two games months, just to be sure. And it turns out that 16 men/women, no matter quite how godly they become, cannot take a fully garrisoned castle

OH YES THEY CAN!!!! I did it in native, of course, I cheated so that I could get everybody the best armor and weapons. I took over a ton of castles with just me and my 16 heroes. Then I became elected as the marshall, so that way I could take the towns too.
