100% cost is deafult cost of a unit

1x attack means the deafult attack of this unit

It won't work this way. Some minor cost/effectiveness imbalance could work as faction bonuses/debonuses, to add historical flavor when applicable, but certainly not on this scale. For example 10% cheaper (than their balanced cost) elephants for the Mauryans, 15% stronger champion cavalry for the Macedonians, or 20% faster trained swordmen for the Romans could work. Something simular is already in game if I'm not mistaken, for example spearmen of the same cost having slightly different stats for different factions.

we put cmall tecnologies that repair the bonus/unbonus

example: diadochi holipites reduce 40% cost "training inclued" "that put more attack on milita thureos but reduces 15 health"

reduce time for roman melee infantry training

reduce cost of celtic calvary "that put even weaker infantry"

reduce cost of persian calvary "put sparabara even weaker"

for spartans "millitary reforms" give a stronger calvary and pelthasts and iincrease by another 25% train time for spearmen" "the agoge needs huge cost & time"

mauryans "35% reduced cost for elephants

25% cost for infantry

22% cost for calvary
