Point Costs
(Rule)Description: Every unit, weapon, upgrade, Special Item, etc. costs a certain amount of points. The 9th Age uses Point Costs to balance units and options so two players can enjoy a game that tests their skills. This allows for quick pickup games between friends or helps design scenarios where you need to know how powerful certain things are. A unit's Point Cost is the total of its starting Point Cost and the Point Costs of all its upgrades. An army's Point Cost is the total of all its units' Point Costs .
