Sorry about question below, character limit. Presumably deaths normally occur at a more or less steady rate, then there’s a war & sudden upsurge in violent/traumatic deaths, do the gods recognize that as war? Unless upswings in the death count in one part of the world get evened out worldwide? As the gods can’t comprehend boundaries, how aware are they that one of their favorites may be causing all that carnage?

I imagine if one of their Favorites is causing that much carnage, he will shortly become unfavorite. See: the eventual fate of the Golden General.
The gods are omnisentient, though perhaps not omniscient (and certainly not omnipotent) as they are inside time. There is nothing alive that They do not know, inside and out, all at once, all the time.
