Prestige sources for nomads?

[Hellenic Might]

I love the new DLC but one of the most frustrating things is the fact that you have too little prestige and every subjugation war and request costs you 75 of it as is upgrading your capital buildings.

I always end up with a couple hundred prestige despite having 30 - 40 income per month ( of prestige) from my vassals. Did any of you find a reliable way to acquire it? I want to designate an heir that's better than my oldest son but I don't have 1000 or time to wait before I die.

Conqueror trait waiver all costs.
What I don't like is that there is no access to holy war or some other kingdom tier cb.
One per lifetime invasion cb doesn't cut it.

So I have to get extremely lucky or I suffer?

I think Nerge and hunts is the way.

Regular hunts, they are dirt cheap as nomads. Feasts never hurt either.

Did they get rid of the usual sources?

Even setting aside activities, alliances have always been a prestige-printer. In wars you start, you get fame. In wars you help someone else, you get prestige. Figure out who is likely to be attacked a lot, get an alliance, and then kill the attacking coalition can get tons of XP. This is especially easy when holy wars are involved, since any holy war against your faith is an excuse to jump in.

At least, in general tribal / feudal zones. Maybe something is different with the Nomads- I can't play in earnest for a few more weeks.

Ah ok, I've only ever done nurge hunts and didn't bother with other hunts and feasts. I'll try doing them regularly and see how much it helps.

Terrorize pillage intent gives prestige, unlocked by second Dynasty Perk.

IDK what you guys are seeing with the Nerge hunts, but every time I do them I end up losing more prestige than I gain due to the "you let an animal go free" pop-up that happens at least 2-3 times during each one, which takes away 35 prestige every time it hits.

Falconery is worth trying as well, extra sources of prestige via events for nomads in that.

Nomads can do falconry for super cheap. You can get upwards of 1000 prestige for a successful falconry hunt. Prestige is the least of my worries as a nomad.

 

[Hellenic Might]

I tried it and it actually helps a lot, I haven't tried falconry yet but regular hunts and feasts gave me almost 5000 prestige. I'll try falconry as well to see if there's a difference.

Do let me know. Can‘t find anything in the wiki which would seem to indicate falconry being superior to hunts for prestige.

Upsides of falconry:

1. gives way more prestige then regular hunts, like double or triple
2. non-martial gender can participate
3. low risk of death or injury

Downsides of falconry:

1. typically costs a lot more than regular hunts
2. artifacts gained are much worse than regular hunts
3. can't hunt legendary beasts

However the cost issue isn't a big deal for nomads, since most of the cost is in herd and it's not that big a herd cost.
