"Villagers gather resources and construct buildings."
In-game description

The Villager is a worker unit in Age of Mythology: Retold that is only available to the Greeks. Villagers are essential in gathering the resources with which to develop the player's army and build structures to expand your empire. A strong empire has many Villagers. In times of emergency, Villagers are fair fighters, but they are best left to what they do well - gathering resources and constructing buildings.

The player can only have up to 100 Villagers at any given time regardless of the population cap status.

Tasks

Villagers are usually used to gather resources to fund the player's many technological upgrades and unit creation in addition to building and repairing structures.

Assigning Villagers to Temples will slowly generate favor. The more Villagers are praying at a Temple, the more favor is generated, though the benefit decreases with each additional Villager.

Gather Rates

Villagers gather resources from different sources at a different speed. The table below shows all gathering rates in descending order.

Role	Resource	Source	Gathering Rate per second	Gathering Rate per minute
Hunter	Food	Hunt	1	60
Herdsman	Food	Livestock   Chicken	0.9	54
Forager	Food	Berry Bush	0.8	48
Farmer	Food	Farm	0.7	42
Lumberjack	Wood	Tree	1	60
Lumberjack	Wood	Gaia Tree	1.05	63
Miner	Gold	Gold Mine	0.85	51

Favor Generation

Villagers can also gain favor by praying at Temples. However, the efficiency of favor generation is lower with each Villager (across all Temples). For example, one Villager generates 6 favor per minute, five Villagers with a -4.6% penalty generate 21 (25 for Zeus) favor per minute, and twenty-five Villagers with a -17.6% penalty generate 50 (55 for Zeus) favor per minute.

Buildings

Villagers can construct the following buildings:

Archaic Age	Classical Age	Heroic Age	Mythic Age
House	Archery Range	Fortress	Titan Gate
Granary	Armory	Market	Wonder
Storehouse	Farm
Dock	Military Academy
Temple	Sentry Tower

History

"Villagers form the basis of your economy. Make sure that you have enough Villagers to generate a steady flow of resources, but remember that they are weak in combat. Task a Greek Villager on a Temple to generate Favor. A mixture of freemen and slaves performed the bulk of the food production and other labor in the lands surrounding the Aegean Sea that constituted ancient Greece. Because the land here was not agriculturally rich, the typical freeman villager became adept at a variety of crafts and was a more independent thinker than more specialized peasants elsewhere. Free Greek villagers also formed the bulk of the Greek soldiery, the best in the world at the time, and were at the forefront of Greek expansion through colonization and trade."
