I'm not 100% positive but I believe you get a ton of favor points for:

1. Buildings (towers) destroyed.
2. Flag captures.
3. Upgrading the fortress.
4. Winning the game.

If you just have more kills, I don't think it rewards you with much favor points.  If you lose, you don't get much favor points.

10 points if you're on the losing team.

75 points if you're on the winning team.

Additional points for every award you win (most kills, longest kill streak, least deaths etc.) I'm assuming the other people in the game beat you in all of those, thus why you only received 10.

Ok, so it's better to just go for one or two things and get the most in them than playing better. That's cool. I mean, that's NOT cool. Favor points should be based on your performance.

I say they need reworking, or players in losing teams will just go for some category (like flags) to get a few points, condemning the team to lose, instead of trying to play the game.

I think this is very bad though. If you play a crucial support role (Sedna spamming heal, QoT spamming bramble shield), you could be the decisive factor in your team's victory, but you might walk away with a minimal amount of favor. This hurts you both for favor items, AND for the rankings (favor helps determine where you stand).

So you think this performance in a SLAUGHTER match (remember: the point is to KILL the enemy):

Level: 9 Kills: 1 Deaths: 6 Assists: 3 Damage: 64K Flags: 7 Buildings: 0 Grunts: 67 Gold: 12979 FP:25

Is better than this one?

Level: 9 Kills: 4 Deaths: 4 Assists: 1 Damage: 71K Flags: 2 Buildings: 0 Grunts: 99 Gold: 16047 FP:10

BTW, I didn't capture more flags because I kept the center flag in prison by putting my towers there.

I took a second and made this to better explain maybe..

BTW yes, Category IS mispelled

Support characters are suppose to upgrade the fortress, and get points that way... They should also concentrate on flags. Whereas assasin heroes should get points by beefing up and killing heroes.

The balance is there, you just have to see it.

I respectfully disagree: with her super strong pounce and her regeneration/heal, sedna can be dangerous; with her speed and pounce she can easily kill a fleeing demigod; Erebus looks like the strongest demigod now, The oak has very good buff to slow down ennemies and kills them. Only the QoT lacks a bit of power since she has mainly aoe spell.

By the way, copy/paste from an other post: (http://forums.demigodthegame.com/347548)

i also think that the favor point system is broken:

1- only the players that do something the most is rewarded, if the 3 top killers scores 16 kills, 15 kills and 6 kills, only the first one is rewarded and it is a bit frustrating for the second that have also played well.

2- You are rewarded for arbitrary things like kills or gold spent in citadel upgrades but it doesn't always reflect what you have done for your team. For example, in cataract, if i spend time breaking the towers to access the ennemies portals and i take their flags, it can easily make my team win, but i can still don't be rewarded at all.

So i think it would be better to just give points for each kill, support spell used on an ally, flag taken, etc. And maybe multiply by a 2x coef if you are in the winning team.

The main issue I have with favor points mostly comes from the fact that they tend to reward the kind of behavior that will win the game anyway: when all is said and done, the people on the winning team will destroy more buildings, take more flags, kill more demigods, and die fewer times than the losers: that's just expected.

Whenever the winning bonus is 75 points and the losing points are set at a base of 10, then quite frequently the favor points will be skewed so that one side will typically receive 10 points per player and the winners will get anywhere from 90 to 175 or so.  My point?  Well, if someone's playing solely for the favor points, what's to prevent the losing team's players from just dropping mid-game once a game turns sour?

All in all, I think that 'losers' need to have their own favor point consolations.  Blocking flag captures, grunts killed near the objectives, and so forth, all the sorts of behavior that will let a losing team's player at least feel the game's rewarding them for trying their best, even if they're a good player on a terrible team.

Favor is given based on the awards you get at the end of the match. One time I actually lossed and recieved more favor than anyone on the winning team. "It's not about whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game."
