Auto Favor Farm Guide

Automatically farm favor from enemy cities using Harpy and Manticore

Overview

The auto favor farm feature automatically detects cities with harpies or manticores and farms favor from enemy cities on the same island (island mode) or specific targets selected manually (manual mode). The feature monitors current favor, schedules attacks intelligently, and blacklists emptied cities to optimize favor farming.

Prerequisites

Temple Looting Research: Required in each farming city
Mythic Units: Harpy (Hera) or Manticore (Zeus) in your cities
Attack Planner: Attacks are scheduled via the attack planner system

How It Works

Detection System

Real-time monitoring: scans all your cities every 30 seconds
Unit detection: identifies cities with harpy or manticore
Favor tracking: monitors current favor levels for Zeus and Hera
Smart targeting: automatically finds appropriate targets based on mode
Research validation: ensures temple looting is researched before attacking

Farming Logic

City scan: checks all your cities for harpy/manticore units
Research check: verifies that temple looting research is completed
Favor check: ignores if favor is already full for this god
Unit count: ensures minimum units are available
Target selection: finds appropriate enemy cities (based on mode)
Movement check: waits if units are currently out or returning
Attack scheduling: adds attack to attack planner with random delay
Result tracking: monitors attack results and blacklists emptied cities

Blacklisting System

Auto blacklist: cities with insufficient favor are blacklisted for 12 hours
Threshold: less than 5 favor per unit sent triggers blacklist
Zero favor: no favor gained results in immediate blacklist
Expiry: blacklist expires automatically after 12 hours
Visual indicator: blacklisted targets show countdown in UI
