"Badboy" is a measurement of a country's status among nations. Basically it's how much of a warmonger you've been. Aggressive nations will have high badboys while peaceful nations will have very low badboys.

While the game never lists the exact numerical score of your badboy (unless you search through your saved game file) it will list an approximation of it.


BADBOY IN-GAME DESCRIPTIONS


0 BB = We have an honourable reputation

1-2 BB = We have a respectable reputation

3-5 BB = We have a slightly tarnished reputation

6-10 BB = We have a tarnished reputation

11-15 BB = We have a rather bad reputation

16-20 BB = We have a very bad reputation

21-25 BB = We have an extremly bad reputation

26-30 BB = We are dishonourable scum

30+ BB = We are worse than Dishonourable scum



ACTIONS WHICH GIVE BADBOY


grab a title: 1BB

usurp a title: 0BB

take a title in an offensive war: 2BB

take a title in a defensive war: 1BB

a discovered assassination attempted: 1BB

a discovered assassination attempted against another ruler: 2BB

revoke a count title: 1BB

revoke a duke title: 0.75BB

force someone to yield a claim: 0BB

diplomatic vassalization: 0.75BB per province hold by the target directly, not including vassals

sneak attack, i.e. DOW while troops are in enemies territory: 2BB,does not apply to religious enemies



ACTIONS WHICH REDUCE BADBOY


grant a title: -0.5BB

create a bishopric*: 0BB, but you get the piety boost for indirect BB reduction

a successful assassination in your court: -1BB (this no longer is true for Deus Vult)

give up a title in a war: 0BB, but you get a claim on the title

yield a claim in a war: -1BB



Badboy ratings above 10 often result in negative events (like vassals leaving your kingdom) so it's recommended to keep it below that level. Talented rulers must often balance badboy increases and reductions so that they can continue to expand without getting too high of a badboy score. Giving excess land to loyal vassals (especially to family members that you want to take over) is strongly recommended.

Vassals generally don't care how valuable the land you give them is- so save the best land for your best vassals and for your future Kings or Queens.
