Unit Upkeep Costs

Has anyone figured out the upkeep costs for units (based on screenshots or any other info)? Will it simply be 1 gold per unit per turn? Or will it depend on the type of unit?

Anyone?

Still unknown. Though the Multiplayer.it shots had some units with FREE support.

Wait until Oct. 22, when info and screen shots from the actual released game will be available online. There is a gag order in effect until then.

we know certain types of governments and maybe wonders allow a certain # of units free. Also, we know that unit support costs gold meaning my uber-production city can crank out units without fear of never being able to build a wonder again!

YIPEEEEE! That's awesome!

I do think a battleship should cost more to keep than a phalanx, though.

In republic there seem to be 1 gc/unit.
