Fame : change it back.

I concur that the old system is better than what currently stands. In addition, more needs to be added to the fame feature besides battles, trading and romantic relationship with in each port. Plantations, goldsmithing, banks, nation rank and other parameters can be added to create a more comprehensive dynamic for a game score.

While I agree that the fame system needs an overhaul, not everyone is aware of how fame used to work. Additionally as SHM has stated, there would need to be updates to even the old system.

Please provide more details.

My suggestion is simple : remove the penalty element regarding ship numbers held by the loser. Keep the percentage of fame gained or lost the same for both sides and all players. I.e. 'change it back' means simply that.

If others have suggestions for other changes then speak up.. I am not the dev team.. its not my job to think or speak for everyone.

If there is some golden ideal fleet number.. some sweet spot which is 200 ships then fine. The player who chooses to run fewer has already penalised themselves. There can be a few reasons to run fewer. One of the first steps in prepping for war is to slim your fleets and reduce exposure. Some playing styles just dont need excessive numbers of fleets : some do. And thats all well and good but why should the game add extra penalties to those who choose fewer than the Golden Mean? What is so wrong in choosing fewer? Why is there not a corresponding penalty for running more than 200 ships? Quite the opposite.. the fame model rewards that also. Its broke.. it needs fixing.

I agree with Dez. Change it back to what?

It needs to be overhauled. But need details on what a current relevant fame system would look like and how it would function.

Should not get fame simply for being married, Should not get fame for simply having more ships. It should be more reliant on actions.

Battles
Wealth
Trading

It should also contain a negative

Infamy for pirates and privateers

My vote is for Needs development/ Discussion

Right now this is simply an idea...… a very good idea, but needs development into a complete suggestion.
