Editing Gangs (section)

=== Fame ===
Fame is a measure of how well-known your gang is, and is both ''Local'' and ''Global'' in scope.    Unknown gangs have a hard time recruiting members with a specific skill. Also a high fame is a prerequisite to some [[missions]].

Fame is mainly gained from in-town events - winning races, death races, and combats will increase your fame.  Placing in "pro" events earns you much more fame than non-pro events.  Winning or placing in leagues will also boost your fame at the end of the league.

Wilderness events (aka scouts) increase your fame by pathetically tiny amounts compared to the fame bumps for doing well in arena events.

In the wild, fame is useful for trucing pirates.  The higher your fame, the better a chance that you can bypass an undesirable combat by trucing.  This is useful for traveling from town to town, especially on lucrative cargo missions.

==== Local ====
Local Fame is centered around the various towns and outposts of Evan, and affects the likelihood of recruiting good characters.  The [[Recruiter]] specialism is also required in the town you are recruiting in if you wish to use it.

A high Fame only improves your likelihood of getting an honest character when you are recruiting your 'free' character.  Paying to recruit characters negates your Fame advantage (and your [[leadership|Recruiter specialism]] if you have it).

==== Global ====
Global Fame is an average of your fame in all towns. 

The low-fame, new player-specific NPC gang Desert Hyenas now only shows up if your ''Global'' fame is no more than 50 (whatever that means, since numbers aren't shown).
