Using this reference
Check the version of Hand Cannoneer before comparing its numbers. Age, civilization, tier or star level can identify different records under the same unit name. Costs and population belong to the selected record, so compare like with like before planning a group.
If materials are listed, use the quantity calculator for the number of units you want to produce. That total is a resource budget, not a combat forecast. The table does not model positioning, opposing units, upgrades or a complete army composition.
A worked example
Suppose you want 4 × Hand Cannoneer. This recipe produces 1 per operation, so you need 4 operations. That produces 4 in total. The direct material list is Food × 180 and Gold × 200.
One useful comparison
For Base health, Hand Cannoneer is listed at 40, compared with 45 for Chu Ko Nu: a difference of 5. This compares that field in the recorded variants only. Read the other fields before deciding whether the trade-off matters to your use.

How it is calculated
crafts = ceiling(items wanted ÷ output per craft); each ingredient = crafts × amount per craft
This adds direct inputs for the selected recipe. It does not recursively craft ingredients, include inventory, or assume bonuses, parallel production or unlocks.
