Feature request: "Fame points for realms"

[Norrel]

It's an interesting idea. Weren't nearly all nobles of britain "barons", if they didn't have a more prestigious title?

Who would get this? The realm with the most glory, or the realm with the most, say, military glory?

As it could be an idea to split up the various glory points into categories, and have the realm who has the most military glory have one perk, the one with the most economic glory another, and so on. As long as the perks don't break the balance, so special titles for unlanded nobles is one interesting idea for that.

Maybe different titles depending on what category your realm is best at?

And 'Honourable' prefix for all Tournament champions?

You guys are late to the party. The 11th birthday is coming up. 10th we already had.

No one invited me.

[Tom]

No one invited me.

Then you have missed a whole lot of announcements, including the entire BM:WI which was basically my 10th anniversary birthday present to everyone.

[Zakilevo]

I hope 11th anniversary gift is coming as well?  ;)

[De-Legro]

Depends, what did you get Tom? Or maybe the 5th invasion is the present, I'm sure the gift for 11 years is the destruction of an island.

Before thread derails into gift party bananza, let's get back to the achievement discussion.

I like a title solution for achieving things. The thing is, different realms run different government, so having a baron in a democracy is weird, and having a senator in a dictatorship neither makes sense.

But imperial senates are frigging awesome!

In the middle ages you couldn't decide what the title of your realm was. A powerful Duke couldn't declare himself King just by seceding. He could secede, but then he would be an independent Grand Duke or something, that's it.

Savoy, for example, was a principality. It invaded Sardinia because Sardinia was traditionally a Kingdom and that allowed the ruler to be styled King. It would have been just impossible to just claim himself King of Savoy, even though his lands were certainly large enough to deserve the title more than Sardinia.

We could have the same. Have some reserved ruler titles that can only be unlocked if the realm has achieved certain achievements. For example the ruler of a Monarchy can be styled Prince of whatever, but not King, which is reserved. Each government style would have its own reserved title.

Each government style would have its own reserved title.

A lot of realms like their customized titles.

[Chenier]

Reserved titles should only deal with knights, and nothing else, because the rest is already customizable.

I think the "Perfect Dark" type of title system would be nice. Maybe calculate them once every IG year, which I think is 12 weeks?
"Most Victorious" --simple calculation, how many battles are won versus lost.
"Most Commercial" --either thousands of bushels bought/sold, or total gold cost of those bushels.
"Most Brutal"--most lootings
"Most Diplomatic"--most treaties signed that have at least 2 signatories. I know, possibly easy to game, but keep in mind that every treaty you 'earn', also gives a treaty to another realm.

I think these are good ideas, but I'd tweak them a bit.

For commercial, I'd use gold, adding exports to imports and commerce is more about moving things around than creating stuff.

For brutal, I'd have it count looting kills, instead of just looting attempts or looting hours.

For diplomatic, I'd have it count the number of realms with which there are non-aggressive treaties first and foremost, with most treaties being a tie-breaker.

If we're going to have badges like Foursquare it would be better to have some badges like "have 50% -100% of lands with description aproved" than "act like a Counter-Strike Challenge".

I like that. Yes.
