Based on my experience, I think it does. But then I might be wrong...

In my current Turks campaing (M), my reputation is Very untrustworthy, once even Deceitfull. I never sacked or exterminated a settlement, only a few times executed prisoners, I've never broken an alliance. I am at war with 5-6 catholic faction (results of a crusades), and I'm aware that this drags my reputation down, but I don't think this is the only reason for low reputation.

I use a lot of assassins, and for me, they are the only logical explanation for my low reputation...
