Ambition Prestige Farming exploit

[Dracko81]

Well someone has to say it because seriously, 1k prestige with a count in < 10 years.

Note the diplo and intrigue skills are at 7.

Every 2 years you can recieve +5 diplo from feasts, allowing you to have +100 prestige every 2 years for free.

2nd option for that event gives intrigue bonus.

Another fair event which helps along the prestige boosting.

1000 prestige in under 10 years, with a single count.

Perhaps these ambitions should be 1 off specials like amass wealth, or that you have to hold your new skill boost for 2 years for example.

or just not account for temp buffs

Though I agree that this seem a bit silly an exploit shouldn´t really be seen as a bug in my opinion. There are always loads of exploits in every game and we don´t have to use them if we don´t feel like it

It needs to be removed anyway for multiplayer Martin, might as well cheat to give prestige it would have the same effect

Considering I have seen the AI farm prestige in one game, I think it does need to be fixed. Prestige affects many things within the game, and just because we can restrain ourselves does not mean the AI will.

Ok, didn´t realize the AI was smart enough to cheat. Then it definatly have to be changed.

On the issue of MP doesn´t such things as 'honor' and 'house rules' exist or are just people out to break the game and show how 'good' they are. I haven´t tried MP, that´s why I ask, if players in general do 'everything' to win I think I will refrain from trying it too.

Its not so much that the AI is smart enough, if it has an ambition to select it does so. It then has feasts and fairs, etc. Gets the prestige bonus and has no more ambitions. Until the boost goes away and it selects it again.
