Uses of Honour?

[ItzJames]

I was just wondering what honour does for you. I have tons of honour because i fought other lords and when i won i let them free, now i have much honour. What exactly is it useful for? If its useful for nothing, then i will of course keep all the lords of other factions prisoner.

 

[Feragorn]

It doesnt do much other than get you friends.

Honorable people make friends easier with Honorable lords (+ to relationship on meeting...)
Dishonorable people make friends better with Dishonorable lords ("")

So, I guess......you can say it is somewhat useless...

Think of honor as an alignment.

If youre going to make your own kingdom, honor is very useful. You get like 50 relation with people you don't even know, and that will help you if you want lords to defect to your side.

Ah good, so it will be easier to get people to join my kingdom. goood.

Well, yes and no.  You get a ton of increased relations with honorable lords, so that increases the likelihood of them joining you.  However, the more honorable lords tend to be more loyal to their king than the rest.  I've had situation where landless lords with +90 relation with me stridently refused for hundreds of game-days to join my kingdom.  So while, yes, high relations increase the chance of getting these guys, their loyalty precludes a mass recruitment.

Ugh, yeah. There are several lords with 100 relation to me that refuse to leave their lieges. Damn you, Jarl Knudarr!

I think, at least from my experience, that high relations make it more likely that honorable lords join you only after their original faction is destroyed. More likely, not absolutely likely.

 

[Manic Oppressive]

In my experience, honorable lords aren't THAT much harder to convert. Then again, I'm running off Swadian lords fed up with Harlaus's drunken advances on their women.

 

[Dohati]

Oh honourable lords... How I hate them...
They feel safer with me, they prefer my company and they believe I will uphold their ancient rites... But they just can't abandon their leige... Well, now their faction is dead and they are rotting in limbo... Serves them right.
