* On random maps, if the enemy AI worships Set, it will always invoke Vision at the beginning of the game exactly above the Town Center of the player or of one of their allies. |

** Likewise, an allied AI player worshiping Set will always invoke Vision at the beginning of the game above or close to the starting Town Center of an enemy player. |

* The Retold icon is an eye painted with the Eye of Horus (left Wedjat Eye), and as such, is reminiscent of the icon for the Spies technology seen in Age of Empires II. |

Rain is an Egyptian Archaic Age god power in Age of Mythology that is available to worshipers of Ra. When invoked, it boosts Farm gathering rates by 150% for the player themselves. Before Retold, due to a bug, it also increased wood gathering for the player invoking it by 50%.
Gameplay
Like most economic god powers, Rain is best used early on to gain an edge in terms of resources over an enemy. In this case, it is best to maximize its effect by having as many Laborers farm during the power's effect. However, if a player also worships Bast, it is best to research Sacred Cats and Plow before invoking this power in order to exploit the improved gather rate.
