The Complete Total War Unit Guide.

2. Medieval: Total War.
This section uses unit stats from Clan Berserks excellent unit comparison guide, you can get a copy here. All the units from the Viking Invasion add-on are covered in the third chapter; this chapter only covers plain Medieval. All unit sizes in this chapter are based on the one above default, medium. This gives sizes like 133 spearmen, 80 men at arms, 53 knights etc. Each unit has been placed in it’s appropriate section, it’s mostly common sense but the index at the beginning lists what’s where if you’re having difficulty.

All unit costs are taken from a list provided by Quokka. They are for the default unit size, to work out the costs for other unit sizes follow this formula:
1)Open "crusaders_unit_prod11.txt" in WordPad
2)Copy all content
3)Paste into Excel
4)Delete all columns except i)Unit Name, ii)Support cost and iii)Number of men
5)Multiply Support cost with 0.125, and multiply that with Number of men for each unit.
6)Example: peasants; 100 men(on default), support cost 3:
3 x 0.125 x 100 =37.5
7)If you want support costs for varying unit sizes just multiply "Number of men" with percentage increase.
This formula is thanks to Norseman. You can download a free excel viewer here.
Purchasing costs are listed for units you cannot build in the campaign; this is because you can use them in custom battles and multiplayer mode.  Support costs are listed for all units as you have to pay upkeep for units gained by crusading etc.
