I understand that attacking somebody while under a Treaty of Friendship or Blood Truce drags your reputation down. However, I have had my reputation dragged down because my Pact Brother attacked somebody he had a Treaty with. Also, does my reputation suffer if I refuse to help a Pact Brother with his war on other factions ?

Could someone please tell me what actions affect your reputation... and is there a way of improving your reputation back up to Noble. As far as I can tell, my reputation only seems to go down, never up. The best I've done so far is ending a game at Ruthless with nobody willing to make peace with me

Also, maybe because I haven't played past Talent difficulty, I am not too concerned with my reputation. Is Reputation as important as it was in CIV II ?

Any opinions will be greatly appreciated.
