Honor Points resulting in Reputation

[PhreezePeach]

I would like to see an Honor Point system that results in a Reputation value. Honor Points could be earned by joining into a battle that is ongoing .. and being 'thanked' for helping defeat those bastards ... you could also earn points for completeing quests .. or completeing quests and turning down the gold reward (which is often an insult amount anyway) ...

points could be lost for leaving a battle that others were depending on you for aid or running out of food for a significant period of time ... or taking the spice quest (9 units) and selling it instead of delivering it for a 1000 gold payoff

reputation could be granted to the player when he levels .. or when he levels on certain numbers ( five, ten, fifteen .. etc) ... point values would be balanced so that it doesn't get too inflated .. maybe 10 or 100 being the goal for the entire game.

reputation would grant the player .. possibly special quests for uber weapons .. possibly higher ranking recruits sitting in the tavern when you go looking (because they respect your ethics in battle .. etc) ... possibly another price break on trade ... maybe even your own stronghold where you could stash your gold and be granted credit to cover certain amounts while in the field.

anyhow .. these are just thoughts .. don't cut me out of your wills .. I realize the game isn't fleshed out completely and some of this may be covered or .. irrelevant by that time.

****

another idea ... adding a benefit to higher leadership values for being able to "live off the land" to some extent .. to slow down food consumption for larger squads.


Just wanted to say ... i registered the game the other day .. I've enjoyed this game more below level six than I have enjoyed other games I paid $50 for ... so keep up the good work

I support this idea, reputation, and revard spawning from it would add a whole different level of depth to the game. Also with special weapons and such, it would give the player something to work towards for, maybe at like level 100rep Black Knights would agree to party up with you? or maybe you would be rewarded with a sword dealing 45+ damage, or a bow dealing 35+ damage?

That would certainly keep me from being productive in real life even more

Sounds good to me, it might also be usefull toward maybe recruting from deserted troops too. Maybe they wouldnt mind serving under a commander who was more honorable than the one that went AWOL from.

Once they had been defeated in battle you could recrute the prisoners, rather than selling them off as slaves.

That's actually a good idea all around, or atleast for bandits, I mean, they are BANDITS... there should be some skill or something like, "Press service" to force captured prisoners to fight for you. Or maybe a "Silver tounge" skill which would convince them to let you hire them.

Something in that nature.

And what if when you had a negative reputation you could hire bandits, Black Khergit, maybe even Dark Knights. Hmmmm...

*cough*

For some reason they insisted I owe the merchant guild 25000 denars.

I think everyone will support this one! Consider me another signature on the petition, so to speak.

in association with this idea couldnt you make peasnts in towns (once they are larger if they do become larger) that you could kill and steal stuff from which lowers your reputation.

also when your reputaion drops you could have to fight manhunters and other future law enforcemnt groups

i think that the higher your Reputation is the more likly people are to join your party and the higher there level the higher your Rep needs to be.
