Tips and Tricks

• Rushing middle (scouting) is a good boost for getting Thane early on, but on huge map, it weakens the early economy.

Trivia

• The Snake Clan doesn't gain Fame, their "Thane" and "Jarl" Bonus are timebased: March 801, March 802

Victory Condition

Classic fame victory can be achieved by reaching 1200 Fame, build an Altar of Kings and colonizing appropriate number of territories (12 on normal maps, 14 on huge). Since colonization cost grows with the numbers of territories you own, Colonization is recommended.

Territories	1st (townhall)	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th	11th	12th	13th	14th
Food needed without colonization	0	20	40	80	120	160	200	250	330	430	540	670	800	950
Food needed with colonization	0	10	30	50	80	110	140	170	240	330	420	530	650	780

However, other fame victories can exist : for instance Rig's Saga eighth mission "Contest" sets up a fame victory as a plain 1500 race while Viking's Glory battle requires 1300 and an altar of kings.
