Right now only civilization can generate favor faster is Greeks and then to some extent Norse. Egyptians and Atlanteans being worse in this. So in order to have constant favor generation we can do few changes basic across every civs. As Greeks you can spam tons of villagers to pray but Norse makes it difficult as you need to make Hersirs and being in constant combat. Egyptian and Atlanteans is a bit difficult but Egyptians are the worst. You have no choice other than 5 monuments. Really hurts to play many civs due to lack of scalability issue AOM always had compared to AOE2. But things are changed today.
Players being able to build God Statues which Town Center and Temples got. Every civs’ Town Center generates slowest tickle of favor. God Statues being a bit faster and Temple being bit more. Civs’ traditional approach of generating favor should be absolute fastest.
No thanks. It’s okay for there to be asymmetry. We don’t need equal generation across civs.

Nowadays with new revokable god powers and Mythic unit changes, favor is far more important than ever. For poor favor generation civs like Atlantean and Egyptian, reduce favor prices of god powers otherwise to keep up with other civs and in addition to unique favor generation per civs, small tickle of favor generation through other means is needed.
I don’t think there’s that much difference tbh. I’ve been playing now since early release in august and so far I’ve not struggled to maintain a healthy favour balance across all four civs - same from what I’ve seen of streams and others I know to be playing and have played with.
Much of it is about knowledge of the civ. Egypt can stockpile favour east enough especially with passive gain, which allows the player to focus on other things as an added bonus. The favour trickle from all 5 statues is great, and if you are Ra, you can task priests to each monument to boost it to ridiculous levels. I massed an army of 22 petsuchos in one game in the heroic age alone.
As for Atlanteans, they’re still relatively new in terms of figuring out the best way for favour generation. However I will say with good micro, 10 hero oracles spaced out properly produce more favour than the other civs in my experience. It just takes the most micro and skill, but this is massively offset by their low cost god powers and reuse.
It’s all about learning the civ, your preferred method and how much you enjoy it. But genuinely, each civ is well balanced in favour and can gather it at high rates if used properly

I my opinion it’s fine as it is.
Different civs also have different cost for their MU and GP, for example atlanteans GP are super cheap.
Also, greeks have to split their vills between 4 resources, while all the other between just 3, so it’s not necessarily an advantage. And that without considering that you often need to fight enemy MU with MU of your own, as you have so few heroes.
In my opinion greeks really needs the advantage in favor generation.
