T1 vs T2 Diplomat Units

Comparison of Basic Diplomat Units vs. Advanced Units

Assuming 2 T1 units roughly equivalent to 1 T2 unit

Diplomat Information and Stats

Terms: 

      RC (Resource Cost) = Strict Resource to gold translation,

    assuming 3 gold to 1 basic resource equivalent

    assuming 2 gold to 1 food resource equivalent

    assuming 25 gold to 1 research equivalent

     MC (Market Cost)

    Assuming 1 horse = 900 gold equivalent

    Assuming 1 book = 1000 gold equivalent

    Assuming 1 saddle = 4000 gold equivalent     

Starting out with a Strict Resource comparison

(Cost in resources per attack/defensive point created - smaller the number the better)

Break down:

Assassins: 3 times the attack value and almost 2 1/2 times the defense value for T2 assassin

Saboteur: 2 times the attack value and nearly 2 times the defensive value for T2 saboteur

Thief: 2 times the attack value and just over 1 1/2 times the defensive value for T2 Thief

Values are reversed for Scout and Spy

Scout: just under 1 1/2 times the attack value and over 1 1/2 times the defensive value for T1 Scout

Spy: under 1 1/2 times the attack value and almost 2 times the defensive value for T1 Spy

With these numbers above:

2000 T1 Thieves vs 1000 T2 thieves

T1 and T2 are about equal in Strict Resource Consumption, T2 are almost twice as expensive with market costs, T2 recruitment will finish over 6 days before T1 recruitment finishes.
