Fame!

[Revan]

No fame point even after turn change. Do I need to wait more?

You might need to wait for the morning turn for that.

No sign of it even after full turn change. Guess the unknown fame point I was talking about was this one only.

I don't know if we are talking about the same FP, but I got one which I'm pretty sure was for my name appearing in a battle global message, for being spotted with a unique item in it. I assume we are for the name would also appear for leading an army, and for I have led an army as a vice-marshal in a minor battle (those that are not sent to the entire continent), and I did not get a FP for that.

Hmmm, thats interesting. I had thought the FP was for leading an army, but it could well be for appearing in a global battle message. Are you sure the FP you got wasn't the "own a unique item" one?

I had got that a long time before, for purchasing a Scroll. And I had gotten the item more than a week before that battle, so it would be unlikely that was the reason.

I reckon the trading fame point has perhaps been altered or undone by recent changes to the game then. It definitely worked in the past.

http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Fame_Box
Only one Fame point has not yet been collected - all other Fame points have been earned by at least one, usually many. This undiscovered Fame point can be earned in battle.

Wow, the Fame box/Fame pages are a little dated. Apparently that message about a fame point not yet being collected has been on the wiki five years! As such, I wonder if I might have gotten this undiscovered fame point that comes in battle. But bear with me, we're going back a while!

I got a fame point immediately after winning a battle in Bara'Khur three years ago. It was actually part of a rebellion against my rule. Including me there were three loyalists against maybe 6-8 rebels. We were massively outnumbered in both nobles, CS and men. My two comrades were forced from the field quite quickly, but I personally led well in excess of 100 Infantry and even though I was vastly outnumbered, I was facing mainly Archers in the windiest conditions possible. I proceeded to absolutely smash the rebels to bits singlehandedly, when, if I'd been against Infantry, say, I'd probably already be on the way to exile!

I think the unknown/undiscovered fame point has something to do with winning a victory in against-all-odds, truly dire circumstances. That, or it is having a decisive personal influence on the course of a battle. I carried the whole thing and was personally culpable for most, if not all, opposition units being routed or retreating from the field. I also personally inflicted the vast majority of casualties. The hits my unit racked up were unseemly. After the battle I had improved my skill and gotten a bit of a silly honour/prestige gain. I really wish I'd made a point of saving the battle report. I remember being absurdly amused by just how domineering a victory it was under the circumstances.

Of course, this is slightly complicated by the fact that I was leading an army I personally sponsored at the time. However, the battle wasn't big enough to get a huge battle report and, given that I had been leading armies and sponsoring them from the moment the new army system was introduced, I presume I got the army specific point out of the way a long, long time before the events of this rebellion.

I too have suspected something like that. My char's 32 men archer unit was all alone against 1200 CS of undead. Still she won, but got out with wounds and 5 standing men.

Updates! The trading fame point can even be gained by selling food to a hungry city.

And its been almost 2 days but still haven't got the Region Lord FP.

And its been almost 2 days but still haven't got the Region Lord FP.

were you elected or appointed?

[Cren]

Appointed by the Duke

[Cren]

Whoa, getting appointed doesn't give FP??!

[Indirik]

As long as you are not appointed by a family member (i.e. another of your own characters) you should get fame for it. If not, then it is a bug.

[Cren]

I posted the bug report

http://bugs.battlemaster.org/view.php?id=7028

13 days ago. Still nobody has taken a look.

I checked a while ago, but as with anything related to fame, I hesitate to answer.  How are you sure you got each of what you mentioned?  I get the objective sums, but did the other two you claimed are vague and not very well understood by the community/wiki.

[Cren]

Well, my defence is that those 6 points were before my character was appointed a lord.

[Foundation]

Everything is working as designed, nothing has changed.  There is no bug.  That's all I will say, and I won't be answering any further questions about fame as it's one of the few aspects of the game where the mechanics are designed to be largely unknown.
