After playing a few games and having a hard time, I decided to modify the Unit tables in the Manual Appendix by adding a column with the Advance required for each unit. So I brought up the Civilopedia and much to my surprise, the data in the Civilopedia did not match that of the table for many units! For example,
Artillery: Table values; Cost 60, BRF 12,2,3
Civilopedia values; Cost 80, BRF 12,2,2.
Battleship: Table value; ADM 24.20.4, BRF 8,2,4
Civilopedia values; ADM 18,12,5, BRF 8,2,2
Aegis Cruiser: Table values; ADM 12.12.5, BRF 4.2.4
Civilopedia values; ADM 12.10.5, BRF 4.2.2
Army: Table value; Cost 200
Civilopedia value; Cost 400
I found all these discrepancies, and I hadn't even gotten out of the B's yet! Which one is correct, the tables on pages 201-205 of the manual or the values in the Civilopedia??
