Harbor Cothon House Also, at the end of calculations you must add an additional upgrade cost which is 20 gold per unit (all Game Speeds).
Example 1: Upgrading 2 Warriors to 2 Spearmans on Epic cost 220 gold – 2 units × (20+(60×1.50)) = 2 units × 110 = 220.
Example 2: Upgrading 3 Horse Archers to 3 Cuirassiers on Marathon cost 960 gold – 3 units × (20+((120+30)×2.00) = 960.
