Favor Tiles

Upon successfully upgrading a Trading House to a Temple or a Temple to Sanctuary, you'll be rewarded with one Favor tile of your choice (Chaos Magicians always take two Favor tiles in this instance). You may only have one tile of each type. Favor tiles can easily be figured out with the pertaining icon that they have (for instance, the icon of the 4 cult advancement Favor Tiles are represented by 3 small icons of their relevant cult – meaning you may advance three steps in any given cult).

In total, there are 12 different types of Favor tiles. 4 of which, immediately and only once, increase your influence in a given Cult by 3 levels. There is one per cult

1. +3 levels on Fire Cult Track

2. +3 levels on Water Cult Track

3. +3 levels on Earth Cult Track

4. +3 levels on Air Cult Track

The other 8 of the Favor tiles endow you with some kind of special ability from that point of acquisition onwards. Additionally, immediately and only once, they increase your influence in a given Cult by 1 or 2. There are three copies of each of these tiles.

5. 6 Power Town-size Favor Tile (From now on, when Founding a Town, your Structures only need to have a combined Power value of 6 instead of 7).

6. +1 space on a Cult track of your choice (From now on, as a Special action and once per Action phase, you may advance 1 space on a Cult track of your choice)

7. +4 Power Token (In Phase I “Income”, gain 4 additional Power)

8. +1 Power Token and +1Worker (In Phase I “Income”, collect 1 additional Worker and gain 1 additional Power)

9. +3 Coins (In Phase I “Income”, collect 3 additional Coins)

10. +3 Victory Points For every Trading House at play (When upgrading a Dwelling to a Trading house, immediately get 3 additional Victory points)

11. Victory Points Earned from Trading Houses at play (From now on, when passing, get 2/3/3/4 Victory points for 1/2/3/4 of your Trading houses at play)

12. +2 Victory Point for every built Dwelling (When building a Dwelling, immediately get 2 additional Victory points)

Proper timing and use of favor tiles can propel your victory points in the game by means of achieving extra points for building specific structures in compound to the Scoring Tiles (of every round), as well as for factions inclined in advancing their cult tracks to reap the highest victory points from all the different cults. They are also beneficial aids of resource for particular factions that lack a certain type of resource in the game.
