🔬 War Academy Calculator

About the research data

The War Academy runs 30 technologies — ten each for infantry, cavalry and archers, with cavalry and archer costs mirroring the infantry ladder — and each level costs the four base resources plus gold and truegold dust, with research times that reach multi-hour territory fast. The tables were documented from the kingshot.net war-academy database in April 2026. Related trivia that shows our checking culture: the building's truegold requirement was one of two errors caught in our June 2026 cross-check audit (its column had been duplicated from Barracks) — fixed at the source, story on the Truegold Calculator.

Prioritizing 30 technologies

• Deploy-capacity techs (like Truegold Battalion, +200 capacity per level) raise every march you ever send; stat techs raise one troop type's performance. Capacity first is the usual answer for rally-focused accounts.
• Because cavalry and archer ladders mirror infantry costs, total parity across all three types is triple the single-type bill — most accounts should specialize toward their main march type first.
• The truegold-dust line makes War Academy compete with building TG tiers for the same currency; budget both together.
