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.

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?
After all it's a roleplaying game.

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.
