Your Fame on testing

[Cren]

Could there be fame for being a general? Depends on the no.of Marshals under you and total no.of nobles in the army?

[Tom]

i like the mouseover explanations.

eh... palace builders? i don't see that section (guild/religion) anymore for some reason

You don't see sections where you don't have at least 1 point. It's a bit like the hidden fame points in the old system.

odd. the character is head of a small and pretty inactive religion... that has a fair bit of peasant followers with just a temple and a bunch of shrines. and the head of a secret soc.

[Tom]

Many items only "start counting" once I implement them. You can have built 20 palaces in your time, for example, but the "Palace Builder" points will be at zero until you build a new one now, simply because the game doesn't keep track of which character built a palace or not.

So, is the old system a goner?

i can get that bit.. but what about the guild/religion part? as head of religion/guild/secret soc... won't existing structure be representative as to the size of your faith/soc/guild.... ie.. doesn't matter who built the stuff... you as head gets credit for it?

obviously other people who build/preach stuff later will get credit too

You rich hoarder you.

That Foundation is called the Grandmaster Pot! hehehe

[Tom]

Not quite, yet. It will be rolled into the new system, once that reaches the family level.

The problem is that the old fame system did record some things, like palaces build, but not which characters did it. So I may be able to move some of that into the new system on the family level, but not on the character level.

So what of Guildmaster/Holy man part?

[Tom]

Now that it's been active (with a reduced feature-set until now) for a while, can I get some more feedback, please? I'm thinking about adding the other things I have in my notes...

[Zakilevo]

I don't think the new system will work very well with the old system.

I think it works much like a ranking system. I prefer something that accumulates over time like Honour and Prestige but that is just me. I was expecting more like a pie graph which has some indicators like honourable, notoriety and something else to show people how your character acts. Maybe I am just misunderstanding what this 'your fame' thing is supposed to do.

Showing how big your estate is compare to others do not really matter in my opinion. I think it would show things better if you actually make it look like a ranking system like 'Top Families' rather than percentages.

What does the fame thing supposed to do again?

[Gustav Kuriga]

I would be hoping that it makes it not take 2-3 years to get to the point that you can have 4 Nobles at once.

I finally looked at Allison's fame.   100 oratory and 100 wanted...  about what I expected

If there ever was a good reason to crank it up all the way to 11.......

Are the values for skill the actual skill levels? Or are these the relative ratings? The problem with relative ratings for skills is that so long as one person has a very high skill level, then the displayed value pretty much indicates your actual skill level, doesn't it? So why go to the academy to check your skill levels when all you need to do iis open the new fame page?
