Saber, very cool chart!

Now, if someone had lots of free time, it would be interesting to see an analysis of this, including the prices, in gold and resources. What is our most cost effective killer? It would have to be in terms of gold and then in terms of resources unless you could come up with a good conVersion factor between the two.

The Ulmians infantries all cost only 10 gold (except the guardians), which make them very cost effective as far as gold is concerned (but they are very expensive in ressources).
I think the prize winners in cost effectiveness may well turn out to be the gladiators from Pythium. 8 gold, 1 ressource, and they fight very well. They also have excellent morale. True, they fight only one battle, but given the general attrition rate among infantry, that's probably only one battle less than the others
I was shocked to see that Ulm doesn't have the best infantry in the game. Not counting giants of course. Pythium's Emerald guard do better ! But they cost 25 gold, versus 10 for Ulm...
