Favor: Same as AOM using civilisation charecteristics.
Spirit: Villagers performing rituals will generate this resource, Spirit is used to do certain traditions that have a Economy, Defence or Offensive impact, like Rain Dance's or Meteor's. Tradition is a replacement to God powers
Relics: Same as AOM and AOK(you have the option of choosing to get gold from relics or its ability)
Population: Belive it or not, its actually a little different, discussed later.

Tradition:Traditions are dances/prayers done by villagers that cost spirit to do, to do it you must have a shrine and can only do it at the shrine. Traditions gain effectivness per villager doing it.
Their are 5 tradition levels, to advance a level you must select a god/godess. He/she will provide you with a myth
unit(s), an immediate bonus, a tradition, and a tech(s)
NOTE: to train myhtunits(and priests) you must have a temple,NOTE to Aztecs: you CANNOT sacrifice enemy/freindly at shrines but at temples.

Research Levels:There are 3 sets of 5 research levels. These are Defence, Offence and Econemy. You can choose one set to advance as per age( age 2 defence, age 3 offence age 4 defence age 5 econemy etc.)

Favor Gathering:Each civilization gathers favor a different way
Aztecs:Sacrificing
Mayans: probably sacrificing, only in a different way?
Chinese:spare my lack of knowlege, but I have no knowlege of Chinese mythology but that they have an emperor and have lots of dragons?

Titans: Not exactly Titans, but emperors or eagle warriors e.g. These are trained in the Imperial Age, you can only have 1 at a time, but they are good against everything exept buildings and do 45 hack damage. they have 50 hack armour and 75 pierce armour. They have 750 hp and benifit from infantry upgrades and armour upgrades. They have 3 upgrades for Hp and one that gives them the abilitie to generate spirit. Upgrades effect their cost, so be wise on upgrading them.

Population: you start out with the abilitie to build tents, they provide 5 pop. However, in age 2, puttin 4 together will give you an option to upgrade that section to houses, doubling pop, in age 3 having 5 houses together wil give you the abilitie to upgrade them to courtyards, houses with a small garden with a fountain in the middle, supports garrisoning of 2 units and doubles pop, in age 4 putting 10 courtyards near eachother will give you the option to upgrade them to manors, supporting 10 garrisons and doubles pop, in age 5 putting 4 manors together gives you a mansion, supporting 30 units, providing ranged attack, human soldiers can garrison in them and doubling pop.
LIMITS
Tents:20

Note: upgrade to house costs 200 wood and 250 gold
, upgrade to courtyard costs 400 stone 50 wood and 500 gold
manors cost double and mansions cost quadrouple.

Finally Armour upgrades!: Ok armour upgrades now upgrade the unit of your choosing, so you upgrade them individually, Advancing an Age with defence increases defence upgrades of the age your advancing to by 1.3%, same with weapon upgrades, only 1.3%.
