The XP was a balancing cost. You still needed the materials, time and magic to create them.

Declaring peace wouldn't get him both armies, nor would he even be chancellor. He became chancellor due to the attacks by the droid army and the vote of no confidence from Jar Jar. He only had real control over the clone army. The separatists were tricked by him into building their army and...
