Here´s almost everything about Reputation:

I´m trustworthy almost all the time (erm in the game ) and it helps getting alliances and in diplomacy in general. It´s because i like to build up my empire and keep the "wartimes" short - So most of the time i live in peace with my neighbors.

Global Reputation Facts

To gain perfect reputation, that is Immaculate do this:-

1. Making and keeping that alliance, it gradually increases your reputation every turn then.
2. Occupying a settlement. Occupying raises your reputation with a considerable amount for each settlement you take and is an easy way of raising reputation early on in the game (because of few public order problems).
3. Releasing prisoners. Releasing any number of prisoners results in a rise in global reputation. Releasing more then 80 prisoners gives an additional bonus. Releasing prisoners is the best way to counter the drop in global reputation a war gives.
4. Releasing enemy characters. Releasing a character raises global reputation tremendously, regardless of the number of characters released(generals only not captains).
5. Offering military assistance. This is not the same as offering to attack a faction through diplomacy (which reads as "military assistance against..." in-game) but means that you actually take part in a battle with an ally or a neutral faction (to which you have given military assistance).

What causes ur Global reputation to go down:-

1. Being at war with another faction. This will reduce your Global reputation with a very small amount every turn.
2. Attacking an ally. Backstabbing will lower your reputation instantly so again don't do it.
3. Breaking an alliance through diplomacy also reduces your Global reputation by a small factor.
4. Breaking an alliance when u have to choose between two allies when they go to war with each other. It will lower your reputation by a considerable factor.
5. Breaking a treaty. Breaking a treaty such as "trade rights" and "military access" lowers your reputation by a considerable factor.
6. Bribing a settlement. Bribing a settlement (with your diplomat) lowers your reputation by a considerable factor.
7. Stealing back a settlement. Means that u give away a settlement via diplomacy and then take it back afterwards this will surely ruin ur reputation for good. *It is advised not to do this stupidity anyways.
8. Executing prisoners. Executing any number of prisoners lowers reputation by a small factor but executing over 80 prisoners causes an additional drop in reputation which is very considerable.
9. Executing an enemy characters. Executing an enemy general that's been taken prisoner causes a considerable drop in reputation, regardless of the amount of characters.
10. Sacking a settlement. Sacking causes a drop in reputation by a small factor though if u keep doing it u will see the difference instantly.
11. Exterminating a settlement. Exterminating causes a drop in reputation greater than sacking so u might wanna avoid that.

One more thing that bugged me was this:-

Use lots of spys and assassins to take out other agents.
Oh no wait. Do the opposite to all of that

That is completely false. Reputation has nothing to do with Spies and Assassins being caught, being used or being trained.
Their -ve effects are only:-

• Being caught results in faction relations. It leads to war.
• Using them makes only makes your faction leader dreadful.
• Training them also makes your faction leader dreadful.

And whether your faction leader is chivalrous or dreadful it will not affect your faction global reputation in any way.


Hope this clear your mind whoever is not familiar with it.
