That's a start, but it's still not quite "huge". It would make a lot of
sense to be 15 prestige, instead. After all, stepping down as king
immediately won't buy you much credit in noblemensworld.

It's a good start, but I doubt it will help enough. I personally wouldn't
care too much about 5 prestige, for most of my characters. I'm at a point
where you can't gain any prestige anymore anyway, and if I lose enough,
gaining prestige is so easy that it's funny.

What's wrong with the 30-days-rule, Tom?
