Even if they were being built in the middle of nowhere and far from the village.
The village and surrounding area's became littered with cheaper prestige poles/totems and mounds.
Prestige was the main goal and after using up many, many lives in creating those great works(villagers hauling megaliths became hypothermic, dehydrated, starved were killed by predators). I was left scratching my head as to why the prestige value was decreasing instead of increasing.
The reason - All the lives I'd lost in making those great works. Prestige is a combination of all buildings and their state of repair as well as the population and their health. Not just big works for the sake of them but your entire village as a whole.
Lessons learnt. Time to run a village properly(again)!
Even in the best of times a large population was always a problem for me, hovering around the 160 to 180-ish mark in this save was a massive improvement. Taking good care of a villages population and getting a population of 200(and it's achievement) seemed like a more attainable goal. Two birds with one stone. Prestige and population!
So yea, I played and played and played. Overcoming all meaner of weak points, coming out a better, healthier village for it overall.
The last mile is always the longest; And it felt it. Maybe 3 or 4 full years of seasonal cycles with a population in the late 190's and a prestige in the 990's. Each accidental death a massive blow to progress.
Till the right circumstances(birth's, joiners, no deaths) combined into getting both achievements at the same time.
The population hit 200 for a split second which in turn made the prestige hit 1000 and both achievements popped.
So with those achi's done I'm in the top percentiles of the game on GoG. 1.5% have gotten the 1000 prestige points; And 2.2 % the 200 Population. Nice.
