getting prestige is unbalanced

[Spruce]

I know - it's a daring statement but I would like to tell why - as Serbian duke in 1066 Scenario I get very few prestige from events - sometimes up to 25 IIRC is the max. And marriage deals just yield to few prestige.

Then when I play Byzantine Empire in the later scenario's I got truckloads of events where you can fight rebellious citizens or social classes that give you +100 prestige ! OMG ...

prestige from marriage = should be somewhere between 10 and 100. Dunno if this can be scaled depending on different parameters.

prestige from events = +100 for such an easy and frequent event is way too much. Should be somewhere between +5 and +50. But the events yielding lots of prestige should be rather "rare". And also crusading events should yield more prestige !

I also think the amount of prestige accrued for dukes from the amount of counts, is also to small. As duke of Serbia it would take me 90 years to actually have enough prestige to claim one title. So prestige gains from the amount of vassals should have a min. and max. cap. Dunno if this can be dependent on the tier you are at (count, duke or king?).

Prestige imho is the "motor" of the game - money is nice to have to finance this motor - and piety is nice to have to temper and balance the human player.

Basicly I'm not happy with current prestige situation. But I have to apologize cause I don't have the time to actually do all the hard work ... on this o

The event gain and loss from the population revolt is indeed unbalanced

When the events fires, and you choose the 'crush them' option you get 100 prestige and a revolt in the province. While the event that lets you end the revolt only gives you -5 prestige.

as Byzantine emperor I got truckloads of such events (religious differences, revolts, etc) and I found it very easy to claim all sorts of Bulgarian titles after a few years. as Serbian duke it was virtually impossible to get more prestige during a stable and calm reign (different conditions - I know) ...

My feeling is - the more turmoil and issues you have in your nation - the more prestige you'll be getting from all kinds of "flavour events".

This philosophy is basicly erratic.

There should be some prestige gained from "harsch decisions" and "leadership". But those gains should be limited. And also a lot of events that cost you prestige should exist under the conditions of turmoil.

The basic prestige gains should be more important - and a ruler that gets into troubles should see his prestige go down ... not jump upwards like we now have the case.

Really prestige is the motor for this game -

I've always felt that prestige from marriages was too low. I always take the money.

There will never be a time where 200 gold is less useful than 6 prestige.
