Target a location to create a number of Clay Peasants that last for a couple of minutes. Spawns more Peasants in later ages.
—In-game description

Creation is a Chinese Archaic Age god power in Age of Mythology: Retold - Immortal Pillars that is available to worshipers of Nüwa. When invoked on the ground, it spawns some Clay Peasants. The numbers spawned are 2/4/8/12/30 in the Archaic/Classical/Heroic/Mythic/Wonder Ages respectively.

Further statistics[]

Age bonuses[]

  • Classical Age: Spawns +2 Clay Peasants (4 total).
  • Heroic Age: Spawns +4 Clay Peasants (8 total).
  • Mythic Age: Spawns +4 Clay Peasants (12 total).
  • Wonder Age: -75% recharge cooldown and recast favor cost. Spawns +18 Clay Peasants (30 total).

Relic bonuses[]

Strategy[]

Creation can be used to provide an economic boost early on without hampering the player's population headroom, as the Clay Peasants do not take up any population whatsoever. When used in later ages, it spawns much more Clay Peasants, which is useful if the player wants to reach the Mythic Age or even the Wonder Age more quickly. However, remember that the Clay Peasants expire after two minutes, so they can only be used to briefly boost the player's economy or to quickly build some structures.

Changelog[]

Immortal Pillars[]

  • Initially, Creation provided 10/25 Clay Peasants in the Heroic/Mythic Ages. With update 18.12962, it provides 8/12 in the Heroic/Mythic Ages.

Help[]

Nüwa's God Power summons a number of Clay Peasants. These villagers can be tasked to gather, construct, or repair just like regular Peasants, but will only work for a short time before returning to the soil whence they came. More Clay Peasants will be summoned if you invoke this God Power in later Ages.
