How to make custom units? (formula)

It's a formula made to calculate the price of an unit based on their stats. When you create an unit, you must choose its role (main attack, main defence, secondary attack, secondary defence, stealth, etc.) and the editor will fill with the standard stats of AtWar. This formula consider your addition of points over this predetermined stats.

The price resulting from the calculations must be added to the unit price already predetermined by the editor.

Attack points
● Attack units: +20 cost per point. If you add 5/10/12 points, then also increase the final cost by +20/+30/+40.
● Defence units: +10 cost per point. If you add 5/10/12, then also increase the final cost by +20/+30/+40.
● Support/Transport units: +20 cost per point.

Defence points
● Attack units: +10 cost per point. If you add 5/10/12 points, then also increase the final cost by +20/+30/+40.
● Defence units: +20 cost per point. If you add 5/10/12 points, then also increase the final cost by +30/+60/+90.
● Support/Transport units: +20 cost per point.

Critical chance
● All units: +10 cost for every 4 points. If you add 12/20/28 points, then also increase the final cost by +20/+40/+70.

HP points
● Attack/Defence units: +30 cost per point. If you add 4/8/10/12 points, then also increase the final cost by +20/+60/+80/+100.
● Support/Transport units: +20 cost per point.

Movement points
● Attack units: +20 cost per point. If you add 3/6/9/12 points, then also increase the final cost by +20/+30/+40/+50.
● Defence units: +20 cost per point. If you add 3/6/9/12 points, then also increase the final cost by +10/+20/+30/+40.
● Support/Transport units: +20 cost per point. If you add 3/6/9/12 points, then also increase the final cost by +20/+50/+90/+140.

Collateral damage points
● All units: +10 cost per point. If you add 5/10/15 points, then also increase the final cost by +20/+50/+80/+120.

View range points
● All units: +5 cost for every 2 points. If you add 12/20/28 points, then also increase the final cost by +40/+60/+80.

Capacity points
● Support/Transport units: +40 cost per point. If you add 4/8/12/16 points, then also increase the final cost by +40/+80/+120/+160.

Attack units are:
Ground/Naval/Air main attack, secondary attack, special attack, stealth.

Defence units are:
Ground/Naval/Air main defence, secondary defence, special defence, stealth.

Obs.: This formula may not be applied to "buildings", "rare" or "other" units.

Adding to this formula, I would like to say that once a stat reaches 9, Example: 9 defense, or 9 HP, the cost of adding an extra point to this be increased by 300%.

Example:
Regular Infantry (6 defense) = 70 cost
Infantry with +1 defense = 80 cost
Infantry with +2 defense = 90 cost
Infantry with +3 defense = 100 cost (9 Defense)
Infantry with +4 defense = 130 cost.
Infantry with +5 defense = 160 cost.

What does adding 5/10/12 mean ? so if we start with a main attack unit "8" att and we increase it once the price goes up 20 right? then that continues?

It means adding 5 points/10 points/12points which are the thresholds for the exponential cost increase of a unit

Brilliant job here Estus with the custom units formula! For those who want some examples and how to make some interesting custom units and how certain units can be classified, take a look here! https://atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=47249. These two topics go hand in hand.
