How... what.....

I'm just going to tell myself it's a bug over and over, hoping my ego will recover soon enough.

It's a very old bug.

Actually, it's not even a single bug; it's appeared in various different places over the years.

Some of the stuff coming in with the new system should prevent it from ever happening again; however, there's less we can do about existing ones.

Thank god, I was going to need some serious anti-depressants to get over that.

Can that amount of prestige be exploited in any way?

With the absence of voting per prestige, I can't think of any serious way. Might influence recruiting a bit, but gold and lowered CS/troop restrictions keep that under check.

Kinda rough....

Your family has sent you a servant with 70 gold.
You lose 4096 points of prestige.

Oh yea, isn't the family ransom, when in prison, determined by prestige?

I would love it if my Duke could have that huge prestige. I'd recruit a 500 man archer unit and sit in my city laughing!!!

Anyone got a clue what the values should be like? Then we could fix it.

Isn't this due to a rollover bug when prestige drops to -1?

Yeah, this appeared to happen when he stepped down as king during a rebellion, which I'm assuming you lose prestige from. Seeing as he's done other prestige-costing actions since then, such as requesting family gold and moving to a new island, just resetting the prestige to the new player value would probably be generous.

Recruiting limits are based on honor, not prestige.

If only monarchies' (and republics?) voting systems were still designed to give more votes to nobles with higher prestige, this guy could rule out of his lazy chair.

It's a pretty new account. 10 would be pretty generous I think.

Perhaps even less considering the prestige reducing actions he's taken...

Don't prestige reducing actions only affect you if you have high prestige? I personally don't consider 10 prestige all that high, but in general I think unless reason can be given for it being higher 10 is a decent number assuming he is a new character.

Well, he got deported, then emigrated. And probably overthrown in a rebellion.
