Hi, me again! After some play (fun!) some more questions popped up, I hope you don't mind!
On the faction tracker sheet there is a box for reputation level bonuses. I can't find those in the book, is that official or more like a houserule?
When I move into a settlement, on which table should I rule the travel encounter?
When a faction grows 1 or 2 hexes per settlement, I guess each settlement grows 1 or 2 hexes?
Reputation level bonuses are what you get when you reach that level of reputation with a faction. These stack from 0 up, or 0 down, depending on your reputation level. These aren't listed in the game book as it is an optional component.
When you move into a settlement you don't roll for an encounter. There are no Settlement Encounters at this time.
When a faction grows they do so from each settlement they control, just as you have mentioned.
