Honor Commendation

Accolade Clan Classification

Officers who earn achievements can be given a letter of commendation, which will allow them to take an alias.
Additionally, officers will rise in station in accordance with the honor they have acquired. This is updated once every season (every three months).
Select Council > Honor Commendation from the command menu.

Accolade

Give letters of commendation to officers who have earned achievements.
This will allow them to take an alias, and their loyalty and honor will increase.

How to Acquire Achievements

  • Occupation: Occupy a county or castle.
  • Battle: Perform admirably in battles and sieges, such as by destroying units.
  • Covert Action: Carry out or prevent covert actions.
  • Civil Affairs: Add town facilities, implement land measures, issue policies, or perform diplomacy.

Alias

Giving an officer a letter of commendation grants them an alias befitting their achievements, which increases their abilities and may bestow special effects.
There are different aliases for achievements in occupation, battle, covert actions, and civil affairs.
Each officer can only have one alias. If they gain more achievements and are given more letters of commendation, its level will be raised, and the alias will become more prestigious (up to LV4).

Station

Once an officer has gained a certain amount of honor, their station will rise automatically during the honor commendation that occurs once every three months.
