Age of Mythology Retold: How to get favor

Obtaining the favor of the Gods

With favor we are able to recruit mythical units and use divine powers. There are different methods depending on the civilization we are using.

• Atlanteans: they gain favor throught Oracles, an exploration unit created in the Temple, providing a constant flow of this resource. We cannot have more than 10 oracles at the same time.
• Egyptians: building monuments to the gods, which are statues dedicated to different figures, we will generate favor
• Greeks: we need to assign citizens to the temples, because praying we will generate favor
• Norse: they gain favor by combat, fighting against enemy units and buildings
• Chinese: favor is generated by an area of influence called Favored Land, which emanates from their buildings. The primary source of Favored Land is the Town Center, but essentially, constructing buildings in a chain-like fashion, connecting back to the Town Center, increases the total area of Favored Land
• Japanese: you need to train Miko at the Town Center, they can build Shrines where they pray and generate favor, and shrines should be placed near to natural resources to be more effective

Here is an example screenshot with the Greeks:

On Retold in particular, the importance of the various deities becomes evident, if we run out of favor in fact we will be at a great disadvantage!
