Like Atlantean human soldiers, Citizens can also be upgraded into heroes which allows them to work more effectively. Also, any Citizen promoted to a hero can then be replaced with a normal Citizen. The Atlanteans can have a total of 50 Citizens and Hero Citizens. Before Retold, with a Hero Citizen build limit of 10 and Citizen limit of 25, Atlanteans could effectively train 35 workers. Although Hero Citizens are faster, stronger, and benefit from Armory upgrades and Hyperion's Heroic Renewal technology, they only gather and build 10% faster than an ordinary Citizen. Consequently, the hero promotion should be used with care, such as if exceeding the 25 Citizen limit is essential, to fend off enemy myth unit attacks, or in several scenarios in "The New Atlantis" campaign where Citizen availability is severely limited. In addition to the technologies and Relics listed for regular Citizens, the following also apply:

Gameplay

Perseus is really good against myth units, just like any other hero. Since he’s a Greek hero, he’s also pretty strong against regular units too, even though his attack is the weakest out of all the Greek heroes. But his special ability makes up for that.
His special attack lets him use Medusa’s head to turn enemy units into stone, causing 300 damage. This attack is best used if you focus it on the strongest myth units like Fafnir, or Colossus in the enemy’s army.

History

"Citizens form the basis of your economy. Make sure you have enough Citizens to generate a steady inflow of resources. They are tougher than other resource gatherers, but not as tough as soldiers. Building and holding a Settlement will generate Favor. The greatness of Atlantis was built upon the backs of its remarkable citizenry. Citizens were skilled, educated, very independent and moved freely between the different classes of Atlantean society. In desperate times, Atlantean citizens dropped everything to defend Atlantis."

Trivia

According to the animation file of the Citizen, they have different rates depending on their gender: Male Citizens will chop down trees faster (by a second) than female Citizens; however, female Citizens gather from Farms 0.5 seconds faster than their male equivalents. This system is not present in any other Villager-type units, however, its inclusion may have been an orphaned test, or balance due to the lack of needing a dropsite.
Despite appearing to use a donkey, the game files state that it is a Pony.
The concept in which Citizens do not require drop-off points for resource-gathering was later applied to all Villager-type units in Age of Empires III.
The clothing the Citizens wear is visually similar to the traditional clothing of the Basque people.
- This is most likely a reference to the common hypothesis that the Basques are descendants of Atlantean people that survived the sinking of Atlantis.

-{{Quote|Villagers gather resources and construct buildings.|In-game description}}
+In addition to the technologies and [[Relic]]s listed for regular Citizens, the following also apply:
-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.
+==Technologies==
-The player can only have up to 100 Villagers at any given time regardless of the population cap status.
+====General Technologies====
-==Tasks==
+=====Offense=====
-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.

-====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:
