All tests were done with 10 units against 10 units multiple times and averaged.
____________________________________ Now for one thing that interested me was 2 villagers from a regualr tree = 144 wood So Gaias forest is a LOT faster. 15% is a very good advantage, plus they have 200 in each tree instead of 150, which means you have to knock it down less often. However it does require two knocks to knock down instead of one for regular trees. And finally the Regular villagers = 128 gold Thats it???? Well of course hero status adds a lot of attack, Hit points, and speed. But the gathering bonus is almost negligable! For 225 food and 3 favor this is a waste of money to me. In gold gathering, just 2.5%. ______________________________________ Well thats it, hopefully you enjoy the unit stats, and for the gaia tree and hero villagers, I haven't seen the actual number anywhere, so there, it's 15% and 2.5%!

7 Murmillo remain
Didn't expect that. Ulfs got owned (yes, I did upgrade to second age, they had an attack of 9)
1 Hoplite remains
Wow, so murmillos are basicly on the level with hoplites! And they are a lot faster. They do have 5% less pierce, but in general for just 30 gold, I think they are very powerfull and they will surely be the core of the atlantean classical army.
4 Toxotes remain
However Arcus have 4 more range. Still toxotes are more powerfull and can be bought in classical.
6 Hippikons remain
Contarius are just way too weak. Their attack is good, but they have a LOT less hit points than all other cavalry in the game. Just 10 more hitpoints than murmillo and 5% more pierce armor. With a lot more cost, 3 population and 5 more seconds to train, I really think they will only be used for raiding.
5 Turma remain
Damn this thing is powerfull. The best archer counter in the game, also completely killed slingers. Add to that 5.5 speed if you go Oranus, and this is a really great unit!
5 fanatics remain
The battle of the titans: the two strongest units in the game. Wow Fanatic is really awesome. A mix of Fanatics and Turmas in the late game will be very very hard to stop.
All trees in the tests were already knocked down. The tests lasted 30 seconds, and done twice (both times the results were absolutely identical)
2 villagers from a gaia tree = 164 wood (15%)
2 villagers from a regular tree with Hand Axe = 158 wood (10%)
2 villagers gatehring from a gold mine for 30 seconds. 2 tests for each, returned identical results.
Hero villagers = 131 gold
