Please have in mind that the resource quantities here and the time needed for finishing every level of upgrade refer only to the worlds with a normal (x1) speed. In worlds with a different speed the resource quantities and the speed for finishing up every level of upgrade is determined the following way:Depending on world speeds the upgrade speed and upgrade cost will vary according to the table below:
| World Speed | x1 | x2 | x3 | x4 | x5 | x6 | x7 | x8 | x8 | x10 |
| Upgrade Speed | x1 | x1 | x2 | x2 | x3 | x3 | x4 | x4 | x5 | x5 |
| Upgrade Cost | x1 | x1 | x2 | x2 | x3 | x3 | x4 | x4 | x5 | x5 |
Example:
If you play in a world with 10x speed this means that the price for the upgrade of every level attack/defense of your unit will be 5 times more resource than the information in this table but it will also be executed for 5 times less time.
