Hm, this will create a bit of a timing window to see who can spend their Reputation first to get the Prestigious Estate claim, which conveniently gives you more Reputation if you gain the claim.

everyone can do that though, right?

i.e. not sure why its a race to do it first

If the Reputation is close and we’re tied for highest prestige Estate, timing could make the difference.

For example, you have 13 Reputation and I have 12, and both of our Estates have a Prestige of 8. I act first and spend my 12 Reputation to gain 6 Prestige, so now I have a Prestige of 14. Then I gain the Prestigious Estate Claim, giving me 4 more Reputation, which I then turn around and spend to gain 2 more Prestige, for a total of 16.

If you then act after I do, you can also spend 12 to gain 6, but that’s it. You’ll hit 14 Prestige to my 16, so I’ll retain the Prestigious Estate Claim.

For some reason I thought prestige was capped at 10 but I guess that is just a starting value. I’m still not too worried — dumping all your reputation into one estate feels rather risky

I suppose it depends on whether or not Prestigious Estate winds up being the strongest Claim when the King dies.

These Fens would need a lot of work.

Clucky not worried, I’m not worried!
