Editing Prestige

'''Prestige''' is an incentive for [[attackers]].

All dominions start with 250 prestige.

=== Formula ===

<code>Prestige/100=x% bonus</code>

==== 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:

<code>1.00x(1+250/10000)=1.025</code>

== Gaining Prestige ==

Prestige is primarily gained by [[invading]] other dominions which are at least 75% your land size. 

Attacking a [[Wonder|wonder]] may also grant prestige if the wonder is taken from another realm.  See [[Wonder#Wonder Prestige|Wonder Prestige]].

=== Formula ===

The standard formula for prestige gain is:

<code>Min (100 * LandRatio - 40, 60) + TargetLand/150</code>

* 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 [[NPDs|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. [[Teching|Techs]] or the Golden Throne [[Wonder]]). 

Examples:

* Hitting a 1500 acre target 75% of your size yields <code> 100 * 75% - 40 + 1500/150 = 45 prestige </code> 
* Hitting a 5000 acre target 110% of your size yields <code> Min (100 * 110% - 40, 60) + 5000/150 = 60 + 5000/150 = 93 prestige</code>
* Your sixth time hitting a bot at 2550 acres from 3000 acres (85%) yields <code> (100 * 85% - 40 + 2550/150) * (1 - 2 * 0.05) = 55 prestige </code>
* 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 <code>  (100 * 80% - 40 + 4000/150) * 1.25 * (1 - 2 * 0.1) = 75 prestige</code>
* 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. 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 [[Invading#Bounce|overwhelmed]] while invading (5% prestige loss).
* [[Invading#Bottom_feeding|Hitting]] someone below 60% your size (5% prestige loss).

Prestige losses are instant.

This means that, if you are the sixth person to hit a target, you will neither gain nor lose prestige. A dominion retains its 'invaded' status for 24 ticks. For example, you are hit at 15:40 and 19:59 server time on one day. If someone wants to hit you at 15:59 on the next day, you will have two invasions marked, and prestige would therefore be reduced to 80%: it would be the third invasion. However, if that invader waits until 16:00, you would only have one invasion marked on you, and their prestige gain (and your [[casualties]] would be larger.
