Prestige
Prestige is an incentive for attackers.
All dominions start with 250 prestige.
Prestige Bonus
| Type | Multiplicative | Additive |
|---|---|---|
| Offensive power | No | Yes |
| Food production | No | Yes |
| Population | Yes | No |
Formula
Prestige/100=x% bonus
Multiplicative
If you have 0% population modifiers you will still get the prestige bonus.
For example, if you have 250 prestige and no other population bonuses you would get +2.5% max population:
1.00x(1+250/10000)=1.025
Gaining Prestige
Prestige is primarily gained by invading other dominions which are at least 75% your land size.
Attacking a wonder may also grant prestige if the wonder is taken from another realm. See Wonder Prestige.
Formula
The standard formula for prestige gain is:
Min (200 * LandRatio - 115, 70) + MAX(TargetLand-750,0)/100
- You can hit the same non-bot dominion twice without penalty. Starting with the 3rd hit, your prestige gain will dip by 10% each successive hit. This penalty is limited to 50%.
- You can hit a bot 4 times before the penalty kicks in. The penalty is 5% for each successive hit and is limited to 50%. This penalty treats all bots the same; hitting 4 different bots is equivalent to hitting the same bot 4 times.
- The excessive hitting penalty is multiplicative with prestige bonuses (e.g. Techs or the Golden Throne Wonder).
Examples:
- Hitting a 1500 acre target 75% of your size yields
200 * 75% - 115 + (1500-750)/100 = 43 prestige - Hitting a 5000 acre target 110% of your size yields
Min (200 * 110% - 115, 60) + (5000-750)/100 = 60 + 4250/100 = 103 prestige - Your sixth time hitting a bot at 2550 acres from 3000 acres (85%) yields
(200 * 85% - 115 + (2550-750)/100) * (1 - 2 * 0.05) = 66 prestige - Your fourth time hitting the same human player at 80% of your size (5000 hitting 4000 acres), while your realm has the Golden Throne (+25 % attacking prestige), yields
(200 * 80% - 115 + (4000-750)/100) * 1.25 * (1 - 2 * 0.1) = 78 prestige - Hitting a target 60%-75% yields no prestige change
- Hitting a target below 60% of your size yields a 5% prestige loss for the attacker.
| Land Ratio | Prestige Gain |
|---|---|
| 0.75 | 38 |
| 0.80 | 48 |
| 0.85 | 59 |
| 0.90 | 70 |
| 0.95 | 75 |
| 1.00 | 75 |
Prestige gains are added to your prestige when the last units return. If you only send units which return in 9 hours, your prestige will be added after 9 hours. But if you also send units with a longer return time, prestige will be added when those units return. Prestige cannot exceed your land size when prestige is added.
Losing Prestige
Prestige can be lost in the following ways:
- Being successfully invaded (5% prestige loss, increased by 1% for each additional invasion in the past week).
- Being overwhelmed while invading (5% prestige loss).
- Hitting someone below 60% your size (5% prestige loss).
Prestige losses are instant.
