Gaining a province from a heathen country only accrues 0.5 BB per province.Gaining a province made up of your religion AND NOT the current owner's never accrues BB.Gaining a province that you have a core on never accrues BB.These things have changed since Napoleon's Ambition: For example, the Reconquest CB only removes the infamy for demanding those enemy provinces that you have a core on, and the DishonoredД¬all CB will only eliminate infamy from forcing payments, core revocation, and concession of defeat. In this expansion, badboy was renamed Infamy and an icon (shown left) was placed in the top bar of the screen to allow the player to track it.ДЄlso in Heir to the Throne, the amount of infamy gained in a war depends heavily on the type of Casus Belli used - while all CBs lower infamy gain to various degrees, each only removes or eliminates the infamy of certain tributes for peace.

This is unrelated to Prestige and Legitimacy although they all affect some of the same values - one can be hated throughout the world (high badboy) and still command respect (high prestige) with unimpeachable authority (high legitimacy), much as Machiavelli contended.ДЄn important concept is that of the badboy 'threshold', which, once reached, grants every single country the 'Dishonorable Scum' casus belli toward you and greatly enhances badboy's other ill effects. high badboy) has a very wide range of negative effects, from lowering the chances of success in diplomacy, merchant activity, and bribing cardinals to creating a permanent casus belli toward you for every other nation. It is not to be confused with prestige or legitimacy, which could also be interpreted as matters of reputation - it was renamed Infamy in-game with HTTT and is often referred to as Badboy (BB) on the Paradoxplaza forums as well as in the game's script files.ДЄ bad reputation (i.e. A higher score represents more perceived aggression/immorality, while a reputation of 0 represents a perfectly peaceful and honorable reputation.
