I'm playing a Roman Empire campaign (H/H) and have fought a couple of wars with the Sicilians near Shkoder (sp?) on the Adriatic coast. I've captured it a couple of times (then given it back for peace), but every time I captured it my reputation took a hit even though I merely occupied it. I'm now on despicable. Earlier in campaigning against the Hungarians I released prisoners occasionally and got my reputation up to trustworthy. I didn't start of the the Sicilian wars. I presume this is a bug. If it's a feature, it's a bit harsh.
Is there a cheat I can use to improve my reputation? It's a fun campaign but I'm worried I'll become swamped by surrounding factions now.

The units and settlements look superb. I haven't encountered any serious pathing problems so far.
The music is good.
I really like the slow and limited recruitment feature. Battles are meaningful and decisive. I have to think very carefully about committing troops to a campaign. It's engrossing. The flipside is that it's necessary to fight every single battle to avoid good units being mauled in auto resolve. There are a lot of rebels popping up so it feels a little like whack-a-mole at times.
At the moment there are about 3 heretics in the Peloponnese, after a couple more and a witch have already been killed. The Hungarians seem to have about 2 or 3 loitering around too. Perhaps this needs to be toned down.
I'm past 50 turns in and only the Kingdom of Navarre has been destroyed. The political map seems fairly stable, which is good.
Many thanks for your hard work, dedication and willingness to share your sub-mod. .
