The hardest part of modmaking...balance!

Compare. Compare compare compare. And also remember that gold cost mainly comes from training (stats) and special abilities, while resource costs come automatically from armor with a bit extra added for the creature itself.

The first one would be 10 gold, but NOT with that morale. As Frank said, it doesn't work that way.

The second one, without the morale again, would be somewhat comparable to an Abysian unit. They are better than humans and should be priced accordingly. The rec price would be between 14 and 18 gp or so, probably.

Well yeah those were examples lads. Endo that is a good idea, resource cost should come from armors/weapons mainly, while gold should come from abilities and special abilites. This mod will be hellish hard to balance, however once it will be public, the players can also have suggestions about the balance.

Did you check out the old Dom2 mod manual? He gave some suggestions for balancing new units there.

Not really, I've never made any mods for Doms 2. I will take a look at it.
