What "main" storyline? Is there a storyline that is more deserving than others? Why?
"general" storyline would be better term, something like noble who earn their glory through honorable life based on principles of chivalry etc. of course, there is always some level of lie and treason, but it it totally prevails, than i believe such general storyline is disturbed
Are you talking about H/P, or more generally about reputation?
I would not be adverse to see a ruler's honour drop when he breaks an alliance. That would seem to make sense. it would not prevent wars, but it would make them think twice before signing an alliance they have no intention of honoring.
exactly.
any burden which would be imposed to them (h/p penalty as the best one), would make them think at least a little about weight of their decisions which clearly contradict with principles of honor.
