Does anyone know what amount of prestige and honours you must have to become a Lord of a region or province?
Ive searched and cannot find it
-
Among other requirements, your character will need 3 prestige.
-
You normally gain prestige through battle but i habe only been gaining honour. Am i doing something wrong?

If the battle is close, and especially if it's big, you'll get guaranteed prestige and honour.
However, the more one sided it is, the less of a chance you'll receive Prestige/Honour.
Remember that prestige is much harder to gain than honour. Fighting a group of monsters or undead alone will probably get you at least 1 prestige.
-
Also, winning, I think. If I remember correctly, you need to *win* battles, especially close ones, to earn prestige. If you just lose battles, or they are all too lopsided, you won't. I seem to remember this being a problem for me at some point because I had been in a realm for so long, but there just weren't any battles for me to gain prestige in to become eligible for higher titles.

This is true in part. Even if you lose a battle you can still gain prestige, but it's true you'll get more if you're on the wining side.
Also if you have little honor/prestige you'll get more as well and the more you have the harder it becomes.
Also the larger the sides are, the more honor and prestige you'll get, as well as how even the battle is as previously mentioned.
I know for instance that the new knights who started in Oligarch hve gained a lot of honor and prestige super quickly because they fought several siege battles (defending) of which most were won. Back in the days my first battle was siege of Wayburg with Abington and in the first battle I got like 6 honor and 4 prestige.

Don't forget that even if your realm is at peace you can gain some honour and prestige via doing courtier work.

And building fortifications. And erecting statues and monuments. And...its a long list, easily forgotten...

Building fortifications is a bit unhelpful when you're looking for enough prestige to become a lord...

Haha! Touche!

And I remembered another! And that a lordless noble can actually do. ;) Initiating a takeover.

Actually, no, I don't think so.
Well, partly. Honor, yes. I whole bunch of random things will yield honor. Though I think you also need enough honor before you can even become a courtier to begin with, another problem I've had with said character.
But I don't think that courtier work will ever yield prestige.

Actually, yes, it can. It even uses the same code to do so as most of the other non-combat prestige gains.
-
It's been awhile, but isn't there a time requirement as well? As in, you have to have been the realm for a certain amount of days before you become eligible? My memory may be failing me there, but I believe that is so.

Really? Because I don't remember any of my courtier dudes ever having much prestige at all. Must cap out pretty low?

No cap. Growth slows as your prestige goes up, of course, but courtier work is actually a slow but very reliable way to increase your prestige when you've already got a lot.

Indeed, 2 weeks I believe. Then you have full access to class changes etc.

Thank you, Victor, for the clarification.
