Reach "Invincible' Renown (Ambition)

[chris]

Simply the worst Ambition to get.

So after I just complete Ambition >> "Reach 'Fabled' Renown" (complete it around 10-15 days doing quest),

Next I took >> "Destroy 4 locations controlled by Orcs" (complete it around 15-20 days) because I'm not used to travel searching for ruins, most of the time playing this game just completing quest (I want to get paid if I killed someone!), also I don't like the fact that I have to keep guessing the enemy camp and has to face a lot of Undead / Goblin base because of blind guess.

So when the next Ambition option available, I think I'm done with searching for ruins now, so I didn't pick the "Destroy 4 locations controlled by Goblin/Undead.
Instead I pick "Reach "Invincible' Renown" ...


I'm not the guy who used to search wiki / guide, because I want to explore things my self and enjoy the game with my own pace (well, mostly because I'm just to lazy).

But after around 100 days (yes 100 days!) non-stop doing quest the ambition never complete, then I just found out that you actually need 8,000 Renown to reach "Invincible renown".

I'm on day 224 now and still 5920 renown, and curious, I check for each contract I finished I got around 50 renown and each Battle I won I got around 10 renown!

Not gonna complain, just simply remind others not to pick this cursed ambition if your Renown nowhere near 8000. And I hope they can at least give us a warning
( BEWARE THIS AMBITION TAKES AT LEAST 200-300 DAYS TO COMPLETE!! ), or something like that.

I've discovered two possible ways to reveal the unknown garrison (from what I've seen) :

Spotting a roaming army that is actually the garrison on the move. I've seen that a few times where I would camp out a few hexes away from an unknown encampment, come dawn a unit spawns from it with identical men, destroying the encampment alone destroyed the unit (disappeared from the map after the battle). I've also encountered a brigand roaming army that had a named leader wearing the wolf armor, apparently he was a garrsion roaming I guess, but I couldn't correlate his unit with a camp at the time.

The second revealing appears to come from rumors, so you might have to pay to reveal the garrison. I've seen this when I've passed an unkown garrison and entered a town, read a rumor and paid a few times for other rumors, then on my way back pass the encampment it had a revealed garrison ... So "blah blah blah out to the west is a camp" might reveal that actual camp's garrison.

Needs more confirmation from other players though ... :/

EDIT : ... Sorry to get off topic, but yeah, ambitions stink then you die ... :(

To late... i'm alrdy in the same boat. Currently at 6k something. Noble war just started tho so maybe that will help.

Indeed Invincible Renown is just crazy hard!!! Glorious caught me off guard the first time and its only 2750....

I think they need to do a little on the availability of such an ambition at such an obsurd level as, there is no way to really know without leaving the game and checking wiki or doing a google search what you are in for....

You can cancel the ambition and pick another one. After time the ambition are available again.

If you go to the tavern at midnight you get a quest spawn from an old man in a grey outfit with a funny hat that eventually leads you to a mountain through orc teritory and you get to fight and kill a dragon there. It gives you 1000 renown

^ Wow for real?? Never got that before, what's the condition for that quest? sounds cool!

[chris]

@Chief yeah, just found out that we can actually cancel the ambition, guess I have to keep checking for wiki and forum from now on..

I reached Invincible on about day 300+ after a noble war. But not on iron man... Too less masochism on my side ;-)
