About this converter
Alliance gold runs 75 to 280 per unit on official Human pages. Lumber splits from gold on every row above Peasant, and food caps armies at upkeep tiers. Peasant opens at 75, Flying Machine at 90, Priest and Footman at 135, Sorceress at 155, Mortar Team at 180, Siege Engine at 195, Rifleman at 205, Knight at 245 and Gryphon Rider at 280. That makes a Gryphon near four Peasants. Casters cost like infantry while siege and air climb. Every figure here is the gold part of the official cost; lumber and food sit in notes.
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 Gryphon Rider against Peasants to price the air force at near four to one in gold.
Lumber and food stay out of these rows: Knight needs 60 lumber and 4 food, Gryphon 70 lumber and 4 food. One fan FAQ lists Priest at 130 against the official 135; official is rowed. Spell Breakers and Dragonhawks lack clean official rows and stay out. Upkeep cuts income past 50 and 80 food, which is why expansions matter.
