Resources

Resources include food, wood, gold and favor.

They are required to train units, build buildings, give tributes, researching upgrades, and advancing ages.

Food is generally used for creating units, researching upgrades, and advancing ages.

Wood is generally used for building buildings, (Egyptians are generally exempt to this) training units, and researching upgrades.

Gold is thought by many to be the most important resource. It is used for training units, building buildings, researching upgrades, and advancing ages. It can be traded for food and wood at the market.

Favor is used to train myth units, build some buildings, train Greek heroes, upgrade Atlantean units to heroes, and research upgrades related to the gods.
