I see it has been awhile since anyone posted any form of 'Power Rankings'. Still not playing myself, but I happened by the discord; saw changes were upcoming and so I set up a chart. Its not as comprehensive as some of my previous editions- I'm not digging as deep into things like racial spells, BR, army sustainability.

These charts use the following assumptions;

wage = 100%
net income = base wages
pop=max, all peons employed
no prisoners, horses are matched to unit numbers
no spells
the only buildings are listed in the images below, as well as a bit of science
cost/acre is in hectogc, 1hgc=100gc

Attacker sets



Thief and Wizard sets




I anxiously await that guy who never fails to come and let me know this is a waste of time! I guess others inputs are welcome also...
