Legends:Influence&Prestige From: S_DANTZER@iravcl.ira.uka.de (|S| Stefan Dantzer) Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1993 11:39:16 +0000 Hello ! The discussion of Influencing and Prestige is done since a week or so. So I think that i can give a bit to that to. Prestige : You get it from Locations conquered, characters, guilds, titels, marks and two from the beginning. It's given in two values, the first i call main the second (in bracets) i call total prestige. I forgott the Population. Population : Here a rule of thumb : As a Overlord you get 90% of the population which you need for total +2 Prestige. So Man-1200 gives +2 760 Elfes gives +2 and so on. It seems to be linear, for around 4500 Elfes i got +12. Every population you owns counts ! Wether in Legion or Locations they give Prestige ! Locations : For each conquered Location gets the Commander of the force one point main prestige. If theres no commander your main charakter gets the prestige. Charakters : For the first six charakters one point to total, then for every 10 Charakters one to total. 6-+1,16-+2,26-+3,36-+4 That's the easy stuff !! Guilds : For each guild your main owns you get one prestige to total. If the guilds goes over a special strength-value there are another bonus points. These Bonus point do your main also get if the guild owner is one of your Secondarys but not the one base for owning. Personally i wait for the jump in the guilds. I've 5 guilds with identicall strength, so if they reach the point, i will get 5 prestige more. Titels : Ask via Special Action ! I have a titel wich gives 5 Prestige, but there are some which bring 15 or more !! This is main prestige. Marks : I think two is common. But look in the MEGA Item List. How to get the total : Total is computed each Production. Main := 2 + (Forces-15 ) + titelbonus (+ marks ??? Dont get one up to now) Total := Main + Charakterbonus + guildbonus + populationbonus in the seldom case that your main raises above your total, the higher value counts. INFLUENCE : ----------- Here is counting : Race, Sex, Religion, Influence, Loyality, Prestige, Faction, Status ?, the other values don't seem to be much affectiv. NO PRESTIGE : Chance of Success := Influence*5% + Racebonus + Sexbonus + Religionbonus + Factionbonus + Statusbonus - Loyality * 5% Some Explanations : Influence : Clear ! But with 50 Influence you get an Extremly Loyal Giant Dragon Vol believer with an Elf Valandaran with a 50% Chance. Racebonus : Same race seems to be around +20% in ROI for Elfs, but there may be quit big mali especally for Dragons or some Monsters. Sexbonus : Opposite Sex is quite good around +20% Religion : A disastrous Malus, In ROI we never got a chance of D2 an Nagashun believer with an Vlandaran though we had 56 Influence. I think it's -999%. Factions : Never tried to influence a faction member of another faction, So i don't know. But sounds logic. Status : A rumour which is not proved yet. Loyality : The given word can be roughly compared to the words which are given for Influnce or Tactics. So you can estimate the value. Get enough Influence and there nothing to worry ! PRESTIGE : First the Chance of Success will be computed as above. Then it will be compared to 30%. If it's greater it will be reduced to 30% else it will be your chance. Then your Prestige value will be compared with that of your target, but your targets prestige will be the one without titelprestige !!! If his prestige is higher than yours, you will be reduced by 10% for each point difference. So don't try influencing persons with 3 or more prestige as you have. Hope that's helping ...
