Simple question as that - how to add a minus in trigger conditions

Doesn't work by typing "-" nor by using Numpad nor by copy and paste...

Where exactly are you trying to type it?

This is just an example. I can't enter it in any of the trigger condition fields. I can enter it in the text fields (unit/terrain names), though.

Could it have something to do with my German keyboard?

Delete the zero first, then type the '-' and number. I had the same problem.

Players work hard in multi-player.

Why would you want to give them negative prestige.

If you want the AI to have less prestige... just give them less or use the cheat codes.

Works after deleting the field... damn, why didn't I think of that! Thanks for the help.

I was struggling to find a reason to deduct prestige from a player but I found one. In the campaign that I am testing, playing the Allies, I found myself throwing Allied units against defences to reduce suppression and draw off artillery as though they were Russians

. I will add a negative prestige action when the Allied unit count drops below 20. That principle could be used in MP scenarios, too, as a kind of 'reality check' when playing the Allies.

Next question: can prestige go into negative value?

[Edit] Yes, it can. Just tested and had my army on -850 points! Obviously I'm not very popular with SHAEF.
