Miscellaneous Notes:
1 Unique church technology units do not grant any XP but also do not require any population space to research  (can go over the population limit).  In addition, each technology only takes 15 seconds to research (much faster than spawning from the correct military building).
2 The "Resources gathered per sec for calculating villager second costs" table below allows one to change the resource collection rates with a pull down many (in the "Resource Type" column) as well as add market / HC shipment upgrades (in the + % Rate column).  This allows for an accurate comparison of the unique church technologies with standard units.  The more technologies / resource upgrade shipments used, the less valuable the unique church technologies will be since the standard units are less expensive (cheaper to make).  
3 Press the expand buttons ("+") on the top of page to view the equivalent value of the unique church shipment, individual unit cost, and technological upgrade cost.  
4 The "Age ship Unique Church Technology:" and "Compare Unique Church shipment vs. Resource Type:" yellow input cells allow for the unique church shipment to be compared to other available shipments depending on the age and resource type.  Only resource shipments can be compared (i.e. comparing to a wood shipment will make the unique church shipment worth less).  
5 Selecting "Yes" in the "Include Cost of Unique Church Shipment?" will include the villager second equivalent cost of the unique church shipment in the ratio "Tech Cost to Total ## Unit Cost" column.  Of course, this cost will not need to be included if you research more than one technology in the unique church technologies.  In those circumstances, select "Yes" for the Fortress church mercenary shipment, and select "No" for the Industrial church mercenary shipment.  
6 Selecting "Yes" in the "Include Unit Upgrade Costs?" will include the villager second cost of upgrading the unique church tech in the ratio "Tech Cost to Total ## Unit Cost" column.  
7 The values in the " Great Bombard cost based on spawn time and factory collection rates" table can be changed to reflect a comparison cost of great bombards against the church technology.  For example, coin, food, or wood gathering at the factory can be compared by selecting in the desired resource in the "Resource at Factory (for VS comparison)" yellow input cell.  The resource upgrades / cannon faster spawn can be selected by selecting "Yes" in the "Include Factory Upgrades?" yellow input cell.
