Rename honor to infamy

[Antwon]

I think we can all accept that the best way to get honor is not through very honorable means, therefore I suggest renaming honor to: infamy.

Now I'm not set on titles for these levels, but here is an example I came up after spending a short time researching:

Prince - Villain
Duke - Bastard
Marquis - Scoundrel
Count - Rapscallion
Viscount - Scallywag
Baron - Ruffian
Lord - Rascal
Knight - Hooligan
Peasant - Scamp

I dont think peasants would want to be ruled by "Scoundrel Elmo of Elmoland".

Honor is, in fact, gained through honorable means, in the confines of a fantasy environment.

Honorable battle between two armies is what gets you honor, for instance.

These armies exist in a fantasy world; as does the honor statistic itself.

What the PLAYERS do is not what is measuring the honor in this fantasy world; they're just controlling the armies.

Players don't have the honor; their fantasy province's population does.

Good point indeed! I was referring to 'honor whoring', scoping out the highest honor province in your range to attack, or running out your stealth and mana during the 2 ticks before wd, things like that.

The devs mentioned having "good vs evil" in the races which is why dark elf was re-introduced. Perhaps the "good" races could stick with the honor scheme and the "evil" races could adopt the infamy scheme you laid out :)

Hey this is a good Idea,
or the basis of a good Idea.

How about each Province must choose:

The High Road (not available to rogues or orcs)....You collect Honour
The Low Road (not available to Paladin)....You collect infamy

Honour tiers are more beneficial but Honourable Provinces tend to suffer various penalties for dubious behaviour like thieving/assassination.
And for hitting little guys (bottom feeding)

Infamy tiers are less beneficial but its easier to collect infamy as you are not penalised for dubious behaviour.
