How to use it
Pick two units and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Tank against Warriors to see how many ancient melee units one modern armor costs.
Rows pin base game standard speed costs from Civilization Wiki game data. Quick and Online speeds multiply costs and stay out. Settler and Builder base costs are listed before per copy scaling in longer games. Expansion units and unique replacements with changed costs stay out so rows compare base roster to base roster.
FAQ
What do Civ 6 units cost?
Production at standard speed. Scout at 30 is cheapest here and Tank at 480 is dearest, with twelve Warriors per Tank.
What does a Settler cost?
80 before scaling. Each Settler built raises later Settler costs, and Builders scale the same way, so rows pin the base.
Do speeds change costs?
No. Quick and Online speeds change costs, and unique units replace base rows, so this table pins the base roster at standard speed.
Where are tech costs compared?
Tech costs in beakers. This page covers unit production while the companion tech page covers science.
