Each civilization gathers favor differently, making it a very unique resource in the game.

The resources in the game are food, gold, wood and favor, the latter being required for creating mythological units, researching technology and building wonders. While the town is being built and developed, the player can explore the map, which is covereed with the fog of war, to discover the enemies' bases, artefacts or resource deposits.

In general, a balance between resource gathering and military production is a good strategy to go with.
