Like Plague is linked to the Bubonic Plague (he's got rats hanging around his belt) maybe Famine would be linked to the Irish Famine? There were lots of cases of people going hysterical and mad during that time.

But then on their FB page Gameloft said " how can you fight something you cannot see" - and Death is supposed to be invisible. Plus the general mood of the video-all red and black and orange and all those crows flying around seems more closer to death than Famine. "How do you fight a war you can't see?" This can mean many things, like Madness, Death, Diseases etc.

I personally think that its Madness, as Fighting (i.e Conquest) can make ANYONE mad. It takes you away from your loved ones, your precious memories, and it makes you scared sh-tless.
