Become a Prestige Master

[Kronyx]

There's several ways to become a prestige master.

In the beginning follow the guides that tell you how to build your city quickly. But never allow your Rank and Title to go above Civilan. I know of players that have over 1 million prestige without ever leaving Civilian status. For some reason the great minds of evony decided that the higher your title and Rank the less prestige you get for buildings and Tech research. Also what you may get from attacks.

(I edited this top portion to make it clearer that both Rank and Title needs to be at Civy. But I am redoing test to prove this right. Return 1/20 or 1/21/10 for a conclusive result as Someone has brought to my attantion that this maybe wrong)

EDIT: After testing this theory 2 more times I found out that I was wrong and that title and rank do not have any affect on prestige. I leave this here because it is a common misconception.

Praying

You'll find that Praying increases you in prestige and you can do this every 15 minutes. Disaster relief also increases your prestige slightly. This is good to know if you're short on gold, since disaster relief uses food. But Praying is the preferred. I've notice that Disaster relief only gives me 10 prestige, while praying is dependent on your population. I've heard people say you get 80 prestige and some say they've gotten 500. I does very and it seems that your population has something to do with it. Later I'll modify this and give you exact numbers.

Troops

Build warriors.
Every type of troop you build gives you prestige. Some more that others. The one that give second to the less prestige are warriors but thy're the best to make to gain prestige. You'll find guides that tell you how to attack valleys and NPCs with only warriors. Though they aren't completely accurate with a few modifications you can use this stratergy to gain prestige. You only gain prestige from attacks when you have some losses. The higher the losses the higher the prestige gain. But you MUST win the fight. An example is on one site it mentioned that you can defeat a lvl 10 valley with 22K warriors. I'll tell you now that no valley is the same. Scout for yourself to see. You'll need to add to that archers. I recommend 2.5K but 1K or 2K will do nicely, you will gain no less than 3500 prestige and could gain up to 7k and thats in one attack. It all depends on what you lose in the battle and the less archers the greater the warrior loss the more prestige. You may say why keep killing so many warriors. They recommend 100K at a lvl 9 NPC. Well 2 reasons why warriors are expendable, They're cheap and quick to make. You can make 1 every 10 seconds on average depending on your mayor. I thinks its 1 prestige per every 3 warriors or something like thatI really don't remember but lets say thats the case. So if you build 30K warriors you gain 10K prestige. And 30K warriors takes about 5 hours again depending on your Mayor. Then you send them to attack a lvl 10 valley and gain another 5K or so. So you just gained 15K in 5 hours add praying every 15 minutes. You can possibly add 20K prestige in 5 hours.

Another benefit of warriors

You can also chip at prestige. I use to just send 1K warriors with my ballistae to attack NPCs. This will get you prestige also. The idea is to take some loss on every attack you do. With that said attacking a city with no defense is worthless if your after prestige. But you run into those cities that have abatis. Abatis hurt Calvery, so just send 10 or 20 horses with your attack take a little loss and get a little prestige. Might as well get something the guy might use up all his resources b4 you get there.

Lastly let me remind you to alway check you medic in your ralley point if you're going to be killing 30K warriors get some back quickly.

Just like add that this guide doesn't hurt when you're building whatever kind of city you want, be it war city or resource city

DCJerboa has added somethings that will help you maximise prestige but it will not go along with you wanting a war city or resource city as it will slow you down. Heres what he added

1. Total number of townhall levels dictates your prestige per action. You'll get 1/10th of the prestige per action if you have 10 level 10 cities, compared to just one city. So the first step is to reduce your cities. If you have too many heroes to go down to 1 city, then build skeleton cities which have the townhall capped at level 2 (I think) and a feasting hall of level 9/10 to store heroes. You can build a level 9/10 rally point in these if desired.

2. Faster Troop Building. Building troops gives you prestige. Building mad numbers of troops gives you ridiculous prestige. Focus on one hero, and level that hero as much as possible, until 432-attack, at which point you can build warriors instantly.

3. Warriorbombing. Bombing a level 8 NPC can provide 2.5x the prestige of hitting a level 10 NPC and receiving low losses.

Prestige ... we dont need no stinking prestige!

You go ahead and do your blessing and warrior building. Meanwhile I will come along behind you and NPC your cities to give you the opportunity to build a new one and gain even more prestige!

Then again maybe some come here to build prestige and that is how they measure success. I for one keep score by creating NPC graveyards wherever I want. To me prestige is a side effect of a warrior mentality not something that you eek out by blessing your cities. Just my thoughts though. See you on the battlefield.

This is for prestige chasers. Some people measure their success by how much prestige they gain. In my alliance we build war cities but we also compete in prestige. And its all about manipulating the game.

Interesting but Warriors has one more use they can farm alone NPCS with just warriors /workers or warriors/transports up to level 9 with decent casualties.

I made 80k warriors and got about 1300 prestige

If you follow what Kronyx said you will probably gain prestige faster than everyone else around you, but you will be no stronger than them. If you want to do it the proper way then farm lots of level 10 NPCs.
