bonus points if aggressed camp is our ally.
- if targeted camp violates our territory with its constructions.
Multipliers
: Triumph
with no peril...
According
to instant difficulty level while playing, a multiplier is applied
for destroying enemy armed units:
- Hard level: x2
- Very Hard level: x4
- Too Hard level: x8
Nota Bene:
Multipliers
do not apply for destroying unarmed units or buildings and for
aggressors.
Ending bonus: Patience and obstinacy
is paying...
In order
to obtain maximum points, a game level should be played from beginning
to victory without interruption.
Positive points scored in game are not acquired immediately, they
are accounted into a temporary buffer then transferred in the
acquired score at a rate of about 4 points per second.
Remaining points in buffer are transferred in player score if
3 conditions are met:
- the game was not reloaded from a saved game
- the game was not aborted
- the player is victorious
Nota Bene:
With these
3 conditions player score is added with the surface value of conquered
territory.

honors

score, and with score superior to 2000 points player gains a specific
