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 most commonly gained by invading other dominions which are at least 75% your land size. Alternately, a mutual War can give you some prestige from black ops.

Formula

The standard formula for prestige gain is:

100*min(1,LandRatio)-40+TargetLand/250

• You can hit 4 bots without any sort of penalty, starting with the 5th your prestige gain will dip by 5% each successive hit (always gaining at least 50% of normal prestige)
• For human players- you can hit the same exact guy twice without penalty, starting with the 3rd your prestige gain will dip by 10% each successive hit (always gaining at least 50% of normal prestige)
• The excessive hitting penalty is multiplicative with prestige bonuses (e.g. Techs or the Golden Throne Wonder).

Examples:

• Hitting a target 75% of your size yields 75% * 60 = 45 prestige
• Hitting a target 110% of your size yields 110% * 60 = 66 prestige
• Your sixth time hitting a bot at 85% of your size yields 85% * 60 * (1-2*.05) = 46 prestige
• Your fourth time hitting a human player at 80 % of your size, while your realm has the Golden Throne (+15 % attacking prestige), yields 80% * 60 * 1.15 * (1-2*0.1) = 44 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.

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.

Losing Prestige

Prestige can be lost in the following ways:

• Being successfully invaded (5% prestige loss).
• Being overwhelmed while invading.
• Hitting someone below 60% your size.

Prestige losses are instant.
