It's a weird question to ask. In my game, when player annihilate another player, he gains a conquest trophy which will give him victory points (probably renamed as glory points) at the end of each turn and it raise it's intimidation level.

I am looking for a better name than simply "conquest trophies". The other trophies in my game are buildings and knowledge. I was thinking about placing some intimidating quotes on the cards to show what people
think about your kingdom. Ex:

"They eat stone for breakfast"
"They are all 6 feet tall"
"They walk on ice bare foot"
etc.

Now I was looking for a word that could express the idea that you are more
intimidating. I was thinking of calling these trophies: Reputation, rumors,
gossip, etc.

My friend also suggested renaming trophies for something else. I was thinking maybe about "awards" or any other word related to glory.

Fists of Glory

Check "Fist Icon" in google images. It's a black and white image with a shape similar to a trophy. I don't know how to post it here.

You could name them "Fists of Glory" to be poethical, or "Overthrows" more technical. Maybe you should apply the naming style to all your thropies, so if you choose the poethical style, instead of the technical, you could name your Buildings and Knowledge accordingly, as "Monuments of Glory" and "Glorious Wisdom" or something.

Keep thinking!

Rumors? Legends? Myths?

Legends? Myths? Rumors?

Each of these things are the tales that your foes hear murmured on the eve before battle. Sure, they're a facet of your reputation, but it's also appropriate to call them rumors or legends. If you're spreading it to make yourself seem more intimidating, it's propaganda.

Stature? Status?

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. Legend and rumors seems nice.

One of my friend suggested using a first icon for representing intimidation. Right now I am using an eye icon
