Creator's Auspice[]
This god blessing has different tiers of benefits. Players start at Tier 0 and permanently reach higher tiers, each accessed based on favor gathered thresholds. There is no favor stockpiled threshold, so the favor being spent or stockpiled makes no difference. Favor is not spent to access the tiers; the tiers are instantly unlocked when the player has generated the thresholds of favor.
| Tier | Tier requirement | Cumulative requirement | Peasant cost | Building hit points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 0 | - | - | - | - |
| Tier 1 | 75 favor | 75 favor | -25% | +10% |
| Tier 2 | 175 favor | 250 favor | -50% | +20% |
| Tier 3 | 500 favor | 750 favor | -75% | +30% |
In most cases, players can reach Tier 1 in the Classical Age, while the other Tiers are not easily attainable, and take significant time and expansion. The discount is only on Peasants, not on Kuafus or the Kuafu Hero. Hovering over the Creator's Auspice icon on the right side of the god power toolbar shows the current bonuses and the favor collection left to reach the next tier.

Mythology[]
| “ | Nüwa is the primary Chinese goddess, known for molding humans by hand from yellow clay – this achievement earned her the title the ‘Great Mother of Humans’. She is also celebrated for saving humanity: during a battle between the water god Gonggong and the fire god Zhurong, a pillar supporting the world crumbled, causing the sky to collapse and threatening the earth. Nüwa collected and refined five colored stones to repair the sky. She also used the four legs of a giant turtle to support the sky once more. Nüwa and her husband Fuxi are often depicted with a human upper body and a snake-like lower body, symbolizing the union of heaven and earth. |

Trivia[]
- The portrait features several shards of multicolored crystals in her hand, which refer to the five-colored stones (representing the Five Phases) that she used to patch the sky. Her major god statue likewise has a crystal levitating in her right hand. There is also a Relic representing the same stones, the Five Colored Stone of Nüwa.

Notes[]
- ↑ The bonus only applies to foundations initially placed on Favored Land. If a building foundation is placed outside Favored Land and subsequently the latter is extended over it, it will not construct automatically. Similarly, if the Favored Land influence is lost over the foundation, the automatic construction will be interrupted.
