Don't! Keep it simple, there's no need for anything fancier...

I suppose experience isn't taken into account?

Ok ok, I won't make it fancy then (as if I could have). I might make it html compliant though

Experience is not taken into account, but it should of course! Very good point. Does the manual mention how much xp is gained from researching? Oh well, I guess its time to RTFM...

Well, independents are incomplete for now. I have added the witch, and if anyone want anything else added, just tell me their stats.

I will of course add independent researchers myself as I encounter them from now on.

As an additional question though, how does the game calculate those percentages of an upkeep. i.e. on magic 3 a bard is 1.25, sidhe is 1.33. Is there any effective difference between them or do they just get counted as 1 each turn or 2 each turn or does it actually charge the extra gold every 4 turns for bard and 3 for sidhe?

I would imagine that it adds up the upkeep for all units keeping the decimal points, then just drops whatever is left at the end. I know that it does store the decimal points up to the very end though, as the devs have mentioned this.

hmm, good to know. Just for the record, the way I calculate upkeep is the initial cost divided by 15 (and half of that for sacred units). I keep all decimal points all the time.
