Summary - what is inside
  • List of all units
  • Infantry = extended details
  • Infantry Duels + ELO ranking
  • Missiles = extended details
  • Missile Duels + ELO Ranking
  • Chariots
TL;DR - Quick Video guide instead
Infantry / Duels / ELO / Etc
Duels
I have simulated duels between each infantry, so I don't have to open Custom battle and right-click to charge with every infantry combination that exists.
This simulation is like autoresolve, it will calculate who wins and how efficiently.
100% mean that unit is equal
50% means that opponent is 2x stronger
200% means that unit is 2x stronger than opponent

Elo
Elo ranking is a system where each player has hidden magical number that means how strong the player is.
When player wins, his elo rank goes up, but when looses then elo goes down.
In this excel, units are players, and they all compete against each other.

Note = Elo version 1 started with units having their Elo equal to their multiplayer Cost (aka Combat Potential)
Note = Elo version 2 started with units having same starting Elo (1000)

9 EXP
You can give experience to unit, aka Rank them Up, and that will increase their Morale/Attack/Defence/Reload.
I have included 9 EXP versions of each infantry into calculation, so we all could see which units are worth more with it and which aren't.

Switch
Some units can switch weapon during combat, and when they do so, they will have different stats. Units that switched their weapon are calculated like a separate unit, so we can compare whether it is worth it or not.

Is this gonna be updated or perhaps after map expansion?

It's not completly obsolete, many of the basics are still there. I'm wondering in your view, if you now favour the Queens Guard rather than the local kopesh warriors? In 1.0.1 I felt they both had uses, especially if the general got that title to make the queens guard unbreakable. The Kopesh warriors where better but fewer.

thanks @Kendji , yes, you are right. Unit Balance 1.0.1 is now obsolete. Let's explore 1.1.0

There are some changes with 1.1. Queens Guard seems stronger now, armor tweaks accross board :)
