Using this reference

Check the version of Handcannoneer 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 × Handcannoneer. This recipe produces 1 per operation, so you need 4 operations. That produces 4 in total. The direct material list is food × 480 and gold × 480.

Plan your scenario

Choose a variant or levelItems wanted

Result

Crafts required: 1 · Output per craft: 1 · Result: 1

Direct ingredients

food × 120
gold × 120

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.
