Official game analysis · Updated 18 October 2026

Use the result as a baseline
The calculation uses only the base per-minute rates printed in the demo’s housing descriptions. Rank unlocks and wider economy systems make honor strategically important, but banquets, spending and scenario modifiers sit outside this estimate. Compare the result with the live in-game rate.
How this works
This tool adds the base honor rates stated in the housing descriptions: count × honor per minute. Projected income is the total rate × minutes; time to target is remaining honor ÷ total rate. It excludes banquets, food, the keep, honor spending and gameplay modifiers. Use in-game minutes, not time spent paused. Availability and actual income can change with the scenario.
