Lush[]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. |
Her economic buildings (Town Centers, Village Centers, Manors, Economic Guilds, and Markets) generate Lush around themselves, growing outward till a range of 24, which provides regeneration to friendly units and buildings. With Channels researched, it also increases the movement speed of the player's units.
Gaia's discount to Economic Guilds pairs well with this mechanic, as the player can build additional Guilds to not only obtain economic technologies quickly, but also to cheaply spread Lush, since the number of Town Centers and Manors are limited, Village Centers can become too expensive for their benefits, and additional Markets might interfere with intended trade routes.

Mythology[]
“ | Gaia was the Mother Earth, born from Chaos, the great void of space. She gave birth without male intervention to Oranos (the sky) and Pontus (the sea), and took Oranos as her mate. Together they produced the Titans, and other gods and creatures. After the emasculation of Oranos, she mated with Pontus and protected Zeus prior to his overthrow of the Titans. As the goddess Mother Earth she was worshipped as the force behind all things in the world, living and inanimate. | ” |
