Re: How does Prestige work?
I think that achievements and different things just have a numerical value and they add up to your cumulative prestige score. For instance I know from my current campaign that every star fort you build raises your prestige by 5 points. Outside of buildings and technologies I have no idea how it works, other than I assume holding a certain city has a certain value tied to it. It would be really nice to see just how much prestige everything gives in some sort of guide.
Edit: I would think that having the largest navy/army in the world or highest population and stuff like that would raise your prestige also, but I guess all that is in the "background" to your prestige score if it even factors in at all. I am really interested to hear what other people have figured out about the prestige.
Re: How does Prestige work?
Well for now, the only solution I found to raising my prestige above that of very prestigious AI factions was to beat their prestige out of them... Not exactly my favorite solution, but it does work.
Re: How does Prestige work?
Whilst playing as the dutch, whilst I hadnt conquered much (1-2 regions), i had a huge prestige. Apparently (avvording to the screen in a tab somewhere) it was because of military (presumeably having a big army-does win ratio count), economy (i had lots of money) and tech (i was way up the tech tree). Navy also counts apparently. Try to improve these areas, and hope for the best :beam:
Re: How does Prestige work?
Army Prestige: Have a huge army, obviously.
Fleet Prestige: Have a huge fleet, obviously.
Economy Prestige: High economy prestige seems to be related to the economic buildings you build; i.e., the ressource buildings. You need to build these up to the top levels (which means you need to tech up).
Tech Prestige: You get some prestige from researching the philosophy techs, but the main prestige boost here seems to be related to the high level city buildings (note that many of these buildings also indicate a prestige bonus) and perhaps the level of your schools/universities.

Exactly... as I said in the first post, I controlled the largest colonial empire with enormous armies and was nearly at the top of the tech three...
Either there's something bugged, or there's something more which I am not aware of. Frankly, prestige seems as reliable as the rankings in M2TW.
Re: How does Prestige work?
im playing a world domination camp as marthras and im winning in prestige i own all of india and a few other random provinces, military is my biggest one, but im up with all the other factions on everything cept navy.
im also making over 30k a turn although im spending like 25k haha
Re: How does Prestige work?
In all my games, my prestige is easily 4/5 times larger than everyone elses, apart from my USA game.
What is annoying, however, is that power/economy setting during the diplomacy screen, it doesn't make sense. I could be totalling some one classed as terrifying without breaking a sweat, but I would be classed as "weak" ?
