How can I easily get Renown?

[Faycal#6941]

I'm trying to build a larger army please tell me the the least time consuming and least boring way to get renown.

I ransomed a Lord and I got 0 renown from him when a friend told me I can get renown from ransoming lords, I don't understand is there any good way to get renown?

Fight strong enemies. Each battle should tell you how much renown you will get, stronger enemies=more renown. I think you get it from tournaments too, if you win.

I don't remember ever getting renown for releasing lords. Just increase your reputation with them.

As for getting renown, I'm by no means an expert, but tournament wins is a good way. Fighting enemies that are stronger than you is another good way (early on, I can normally get decent renown for the Sea Raiders). Later, if you join a faction, joining battles against other lords is a good way.

Otherwise, I don't know of a way to get "easy" renown. M&B isn't something that is "easy" or "quick" imo.

The easy/quick way is to take about 30 or 40 guys who are maxed tiered and go fight armies with 80+ in them. You will get much more renown for being outnumbered greatly. If your using floris expanded 20 or 30 manhunters maxed out will do the trick. If your native then I would say the swadian cavalry would do just about the same. If your character is speced heavily for fighting You can easily take on 40 or 50 guys by yourself. I'm in very heavy armor and rise on a horse. I will charge the enemy while my guys sit back and then run circles arond their forces making them use all their ammo. (need fast horse to avoid being hit) Then I just take potshots at them ^_^ wacking the stragglers. I think I've become rather decent at this game as I remember when I started I couldn't even do 1v1 at all. The npcs always destroyed me lol. Sometimes I feel like a one man army....

quests gives decent renouns too if you can get them.



But then again, nothing beats a hex editor in speed of gaining renown.

lol

Hey, please don't suggest hex editors or cheating I don't mind abusing game mechanics, but no usage of other programs to cheat.

Garrison or disband all your troops save companions. Kill bandits. A whole lot faster than taking on AI lords (unless you go on Wuss difficulty). The number of bandits is related to your level so, it's pretty much 50 renown (there is a cap) per short battle. Keeping your party size low also means you don't have to chase them at all. Watch for deserters during war time. Easy, fast kills, especially Huscarls. Lots of exp, easy kills.

You also gain exp faster (why in Calradia do people insist on 'training' the peons)... spend your effort/time on troops that never die instead. The rest can get trained on the job.

with cheatmenu . You can easily build an over 1000 army

Best way to do it with out cheating is to hit every torunament. Make some money get your companions some levels and kitted out with gear and a armor horse. Then take a small army out and fight things out numbered. Normally before i would make my move to starting my own faction i would use this method. 20 companions and 30 knights, going after 150+ groups=fun, unless you end up on mountains.

ya mountain terrain is a nightmare on horseback =(.
