Prestige is your character's standing — spent on pressing claims, recruiting men-at-arms, and many decisions. After enabling debug mode and opening the console, the add_prestige command tops it up instantly.
The prestige command
Add a set amount of prestige:
Change 1000 to any amount, or pass a negative number like add_prestige -200 to remove prestige. See the add_prestige command page for full syntax.
