Free Online Calculators
The Evony Troop Cost Calculator uses three inputs—Troop Type (Mounted, Ground, Ranged, Siege), Troop Tier (T1–T16), and Troop Target—to instantly calculate total food, lumber, stone, ore, gold cost, and power gain before training troops.
If you want to train troops in Evony: The King's Return without running out of resources halfway through, this calculator is your first stop.
Most players open their barracks, pick a troop, and start training then panic when lumber or ore runs dry at 60 percent completion. This Evony troop calculator eliminates that problem completely.
You give it three things:
It gives you back the complete resource bill and your power gain before you commit a single resource.
The first thing the Evony troop cost calculator asks you is which of the four troop types you are training. This matters because each type has a different resource cost structure, a different role in battle, and a different power value per unit.
Mounted troops are your fastest and most aggressive attack force. They deal heavy damage against Ground troops and excel in open-field PvP battles. However, they are expensive Mounted troops cost significantly more ore per unit than Ground or Ranged at the same tier.
Use the Evony troop calculator for Mounted troops when:
Ground troops are your defensive backbone and your layering filler. They counter Mounted troops, absorb damage well, and form the foundation of every serious defensive setup. Ground troops at low tiers (T1 to T5) are also the cheapest filler troops available — critical for hospital buffer layering strategies.
Use the calculator for Ground troops when:
Experience note: Never skip calculating even cheap T1 Ground troops. Players building large filler layers for hospital buffering sometimes need 2 to 5 million T1 troops and even at low cost, that adds up to hundreds of millions of food. The calculator catches this before it wipes your farm.
Ranged troops attack from a distance and deal effective damage against Mounted troops. They are a critical mid-layer in balanced armies and the primary troop type for certain boss monster compositions. Ranged troops have a notably high lumber requirement compared to other types at the same tier.
Use the calculator for Ranged troops when:
Siege troops deal massive damage to buildings and fortifications but move slowly and are vulnerable without protection. High-tier Siege machines are among the most resource-intensive troops in the game their ore and gold costs at T12 and above are the highest of any troop type.
Use the calculator for Siege troops when:
Key insight: Many players ignore Siege in their cost planning because they train smaller quantities. But 50,000 T12 Siege machines cost more in ore than 500,000 T10 Cavalry. Always run the Siege numbers through the troop cost calculator Evony before you start the resource bill surprises most players the first time they see it.
The second input and the one that changes your resource bill the most dramatically — is Troop Tier. The Evony troop tier calculator logic applies a scaling multiplier at each tier level. The cost difference between T7 and T10 is significant. The difference between T10 and T14 is enormous. The difference between T14 and T16 is staggering.
| Tier Range | Cost Level | Best For | Who Should Train |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 – T3 | Minimal | Hospital filler, march buffer layers | All players |
| T4 – T6 | Low | Early-game army building | New players, K20 and below |
| T7 – T9 | Moderate | Mid-game core troops | Developing players, K25 range |
| T10 – T11 | High | Best power-to-cost ratio troops | Mid-to-late game, K30 range |
| T12 – T13 | Very High | Competitive PvP core troops | Late-game players, K35+ |
| T14 – T15 | Extreme | Elite war troops | Established players, strong economies |
| T16 | Massive | Top-tier combat | End-game, K45+, major spenders |
The troop tier calculator shows you costs for all tiers — but you can only train the tiers your Keep level actually unlocks. Here is the general unlock structure:
Practical tip: Use the calculator to compare adjacent tiers before training. The jump from T11 to T12 is a major cost spike, and it helps you avoid overspending resources on troops your economy can't sustain.
Experienced players consistently identify T10 as the best value tier for most mid-game players. The Evony troop power calculator output confirms this — T10 delivers the highest power gain per resource unit spent of any tier available to Keep 25 to 30 players.
If you are between K25 and K30 and unsure which tier to focus on, run both T10 and T12 through the cost calculator with your target quantity. The resource gap will tell you clearly whether your economy is ready for T12 or whether T10 is the smarter investment at your current stage.
The third input is the quantity your Troop Target. This is the number of troops you want to train in this batch. The calculator multiplies your per-unit cost by this number to give you the total resource bill.
For Resource Consumption Events: The Resource Consumption Event rewards players for spending large quantities of resources within the event window. Before the event starts, decide your target reward tier, then work backward through the calculator to find the troop quantity that generates exactly the resource spend you need.
For example: if the top event reward requires spending 2 billion total resources, input your chosen troop type and tier into the calculator, then adjust the Troop Target quantity until the total resource output matches your event goal. This gives you an exact training target to hit during the event.
For War Preparation: Before any Server War, Alliance War, or Keep Warfare event, decide your minimum acceptable army size. Run that number through the Evony troop build calculator to confirm your resources support the full batch before the war window opens.
For March Optimization: Your Troop Target should align with your march capacity. Use your march size limit as your maximum quantity target, then use the calculator to find the most resource-efficient composition that fills that march completely.
For Layering Builds: If you are building a layered army, run separate calculations for each layer. For example:
Add all four outputs together for your total resource requirement across the complete layered build.
After you enter your Troop Type, Troop Tier, and Troop Target and hit Calculate, the Evony troop RSS calculator outputs five resource values plus your power gain.
Food: Food is consumed primarily by Mounted and Ground troops at higher tiers. Food is typically the easiest resource to stockpile through farming but becomes a significant cost at T12 and above for large batches.
Lumber: Lumber is the most commonly bottlenecked resource for Ranged troop training. High-tier Ranged troops have disproportionately high lumber costs. If the calculator shows your lumber requirement is higher than your current stockpile, prioritize lumber-focused gathering marches before starting the batch.
Stone: Stone requirements are moderate across most troop types but spike significantly for Siege machines. Always check your stone balance before a large Siege batch.
Ore: Ore is the primary bottleneck for Mounted (Cavalry) training at high tiers. T12 and T14 Cavalry ore costs shock many players the first time they calculate them accurately. Ore is also the slowest resource to gather, so plan your ore accumulation well in advance of any major Cavalry training session.
Gold: Gold requirements scale sharply at higher tiers and are the hardest resource to accumulate without active play. If your gold output is insufficient to support your planned Troop Target, reduce your batch size or split it across multiple smaller training sessions.
Power Gain: This tells you exactly how much your total power score increases from this batch. Use this number to plan for power milestone events and to track whether your training investments are delivering the power growth your strategy requires.
The Evony troop layering calculator is where all four troop types and multiple tiers come together into a single army plan.
A complete layered army uses all four troop types at different tier levels simultaneously. Run the cost calculator separately for each component of your layer, then add the totals together to see your complete resource requirement for the full layered build.
| Layer Role | Troop Type | Tier | Quantity | Primary Resource Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main attack force | Mounted | T12 | 200,000 | High ore + food |
| Siege support | Siege | T10 | 80,000 | High ore + stone |
| Ranged mid-layer | Ranged | T9 | 150,000 | High lumber |
| Ground base layer | Ground | T10 | 200,000 | Moderate all resources |
| Hospital filler | Ground | T1 | 1,000,000 | Minimal — cheap buffer |
Run each row through the troop cost calculator Evony separately, then sum all five resource totals. This gives you the complete resource roadmap for building a competitive layered army at Keep 30.
PvP Evony troop layering calculator use: Focus on composition variety and unpredictability. Include all four troop types to prevent an opponent from running a counter composition that defeats your army cheaply. The T1 filler layer is especially important for PvP — it fills hospital beds and protects expensive high-tier troops from permanent death.
PvE layering (Boss Troop Calculator use): Different boss monsters have different type weaknesses. Optimize your boss farming composition for the specific monster you are targeting. A composition optimized for the Fire Dragon boss is different from the one that maximizes damage against the Hydra. Calculate the cost of maintaining both compositions separately and decide which bosses are worth the resource investment for your current economy.
Select Troop Type
Choose Mounted, Ground, Ranged, or Siege from the dropdown. If you are planning a layered army, run the calculator once for each troop type you plan to train.
Select Troop Tier
Choose your target tier from T1 to T16. If you are unsure which tier your economy supports, run the same quantity through T10, T12, and T14 and compare the three resource outputs side by side.
Enter Troop Target
Input the exact quantity you want to train. For event planning, calculate backward from your resource goal. For war planning, use your march capacity or army size target as your quantity guide.
Hit Calculate
Review all five resource outputs: food, lumber, stone, ore, gold plus your power gain. Compare each resource output against your current stockpile.
Check your stockpile gap
If any resource output exceeds your current inventory, you know exactly what to gather before starting. Use your gathering marches on the specific bottleneck resource.
Plan your training time
Check whether your batch completes within your required timeline. Allocate speed-ups if necessary or split the batch into multiple sessions.
The Evony Troop Cost Calculator gives you three simple inputs Troop Type, Troop Tier, Troop Target and turns them into a complete resource roadmap for every training decision you make.
Every resource you save through accurate pre-training calculation is a resource your opponent does not have. In a game where wars are won and lost by who ran out of ore first, that advantage compounds over weeks and months of play.
Select your troop type. Set your tier. Enter your target. Calculate before you commit.
