My major issue is what to do once you reach King.
Do you retire and loom a posting mechanic, or do you just go for the next level? Is there a next level? Is there Emperor?
What comes after Emperor?
Really, the information needs to be more accessible; I have no idea what to shoot for.
You get to choose a reward: cmp-friendly autoblocker if you're melee, aimbot if you're ranged or unbreakable shield without having to spend any points in shield skill.
Emperor is at 2000 renown, it gives you another reward: real armored elephant you can ride without having to spend a single skill points in riding, dancing pony which will distract enemy or invisibility cloak (looks like uniform worn by auschwitz inmates).
Tzar Sultanus Maximus is the title at 5000 renown and you get same red sexy cubes under your name just like overlords and you also get to be Edna, Al-Adin and that third guy at any given time with all the benefits.
Keep grinding renown, it's a shorcut to cRPG glory.
