11 prestige hit from not making a colony ind... [No bug]

[Noname117]

Save information: China, Super Large, 100% research, Historical Budget, Harsher Peace Deals, and Manual Build turned on. Date was March-April 1954. Prestige at this time was 100

The government wanted to give Shanghai independence, I did not want to do that and decided to take what I thought would be a hit of 1 point of prestige. For some reason, instead of taking away 1 point of prestige, it took away 11, bringing me down from 100 to 89. Is this intentional, since it seems way harsher than what I'd expect?


The good news is that I caught the bug on stream. Here's a clip from that stream detailing exactly when the bug happened:

Sorry for the increased volume of my voice at the end there. I tend to do that when I get annoyed or frustrated or surprised. It might be better to leave it on mute or low volume if you don't want to hear that.

This is not a bug, it is intentional. Many prestige losses are proportional. This is so that you cannot just ignore prestige hits when you have reached a high prestige level.

[Noname117]

Ok. Haven't noticed any other events which are proportional? Would it be a good idea to tell the player that, or maybe use prestige-- for proportional events? - usually implies 1 it seems while -- usually implies more. I was not expecting 11 from a --.

[Fredrik W]

Most are proportional, though some not. I see your point, though it would be sort of immersion-breaking if the player was told every time "this is proportional" or "this is not".

Edit: 100 prestige is pretty impressive BTW!
