Default Re: Unit Cost Equation

As much as I hate to disagree with one of the game developers...

Using your own formulae, Sacred Commanders and Holy Priests have no extra gold cost.

At a guess, because the Sidhe Lord has Air and Nature magic. The IW formula assumes equal paths have equal costs. Sushi's doesn't.

As for my own thoughts, most of these have small path levels. If I read the formula correctly, the path costs do not follow IW's formula, which reduces multiple paths at low levels. ...
There isn't an IW formula to speak of. If you are referring to the mod guidelines they are intended to be rough guidelines not a formula to follow slavishly. Kristoffer wrote both the guidelines and put the price tag on 90% of the units. Most units are priced according to 'what do comparable previously existing units cost' 'is there some specific thematic reason why their price should differ from X Y or Z' etc. Holy units are usually priced higher whether it is mentioned in the modding guidelines or not.
