In What order would you rather lose new Elite units

[alice007]

For example, with old units, I had imagined following weights for the relative cost of losing them -
R=3
B=4
M,LB=8
S=12
C=18
XB=20
ES=32
and so on...

Any thoughts on similar weights for new units?

Swordsman
Mounted Swordsman
Knight
Marksman
Armored Marksman
Mounted Marksman
Besieger

I am just going to stick to the first Ali Baba adventure once in a blue moon and use old units in foolish protest of the fact that I cannot take Knights to Bounty Hunter. Also level 54 is months away for me at best.

I wonder if IOTP would be doable in 1 attack with the new units? Barring the leaders of course.

Swordsman is the preferred sac troops
knight in 2nd place
then mounted sworsdsman, avoiding as possible

marksman could possibly be a sac unit to cover the other marksman if the price for the arquebus is cheap, time will tell, but until now i havent use them at all

all the others, protect at all cost

To answer your curiosity, yes, just send 270 Knights to the last leader camp, and you'd be left with only first two leader camps..
You'd loose about 50-60 knights...

I was thinking Knight should be considered cheaper than Swordsman.. time to build is the same, and per my understanding, needs less platinum.. No?
Also, since it is 1st strike, can actually come in quite handy most of the times..

To tell everyone the truth, this is what I had initially come up with (but I am not fully satisfied without an open discussion) -
Swordsman = 16
Mounted Swordsman = 17
Knight = 1
Marksman = 32
Armored Marksman = 48
Mounted Marksman = 33
Besieger = 50

knights need alot to buildings to make them
platinum swords are easy, first woodcutter gives you 10k plat ore, 15k on prem, thats enough for like 20 runs of that adventure
how could knights cost 1?

[Evil_J]

btw my cost of old units is this, based on the cost for resources needed to make 1:

Troops Value
Recruits 1,125
Bows 1,25
Milita 5,625
Longbowmen 1,525
Soldiers 8,175
Cavalry 2,025
Xbowmen 46,025
Elite soldier 51,025
Cannonner 151,025

The "," is the decimal point.. right?

As for the cost of 1, the costs are relative.. so 1 is what I started with, in case of new units..
I could multiply the entire table by 2 or 3 if you like

Agreed.. that if platinum will be in abundance, then it won't matter that much.
I didn't care that much about buildings, because once you have them.. the chain can keep running.
Among the first 3 units, producing respective weapons shouldn't be that hard.
One needs plat sword, other needs knights, and the 3rd needs plat sword + knights.

Also, for your "cost for resources needed to make 1" Do you adjust them with market prices?

yes and yes
got alot of stuff in my spreadsheet, that is a table with the cost to make 1 and time to train 1, receives values from the costs of recourses, and exports values to a table to calc barracks time, and a table to calc costs/profits
