The reward for 100 civ fame should be lower then the reward for 100 faction fame, atleast for the tryker civ for what i can rember it's alot easyer to get 100 tryker fame then 100 kara/kami fame.
And about the not choosing a side, i do find that not choosing a side in civilisations is pretty easy, you will never have much problems for doing it. Staying neutral for factions is infact a really big decission since it means giving up teleports, i've been playing with the idea myself now for quite some time but for now my teleport addiction is winning, somekind of reward might push me in going faction neutral and maybe others aswell
