CategoryBest, res/powerMedian, res/powerBest, s/powerMedian, s/power

Grain, timber and herb are added one to one. Troop time is per soldier; several are trained at once, so the real time per power is lower. Troops lose their power when they die, upgrades keep it. Upgrades count from the last three Sanctuary levels (L-2 to L, plus Sanctuary L → L+1): the lower ones are usually done already.
