Values are the food portion only from Retold infobox data, checked against current patch figures. Hoplite at 50 food reflects the post 1.06 cut from 60, with 40 gold beside it. Cyclops at 150 food reflects the current figure down from older 250 and 175 values, with 18 favor beside it. Toxotes and Peltast cost wood plus gold with no food, so they stay out.
