I am wondering this since I deleted a caravel and my gold rate did not increase. When I deleted a warrior land unit, I got +5. If there are not maintanence on naval units, I think there definitely should be unless its a bug or lower naval units like a caraval don't use any. Can anyone confirm this?
Is their gold maintenance on naval units?

Can`t confirm this but i can tell you that unit maintenance comes in steps. Lets say you have 5 warriors. Unit maintenance cost is 10 gpt. You delete one, maintenance cost becomes 7 gpt. You delete another one, maintenance cost stays 7 gpt. You delete 2 more, maintenance cost becomes 5 gpt.

There is also a hypothesis that late game units, esp naval units are more expensive. It isn't clear if this is being caused by inflation or just by higher unit costs. However, many player shave reported extremely high unit costs by late game that prompts the need to disband considerable forces.

There is some strange formula and it seems not totally balanced.
I simplified my formula. Now everyunit cost about 1 gold in early game.
1. Remove inflation on diffculty and map size
2. Lower base cost to 1 can be done in global defines
Values to change
- <Row Name="INITIAL_GOLD_PER_UNIT_TIMES_100">
<Value>50</Value>
</Row>
Default seem to be a half gold per unit. I changed to to 100
- <Row Name="INITIAL_FREE_OUTSIDE_UNITS">
<Value>3</Value>
</Row>
Not sure if this works I think difficulty over rides it.
- <Row Name="UNIT_MAINTENANCE_GAME_MULTIPLIER">
<Value>8</Value>
</Row>
Not sure what this is so I set this to 1
- <Row Name="UNIT_MAINTENANCE_GAME_EXPONENT_DIVISOR">
<Value>7</Value>
Same here set this to 1

I am intrigued by this - could it be increased cost for units outside of home territory - this would make navies bankrupt you! Plus given the AIs propensity of sending its units hither and yon I can see how it it can shoot itself in the foot.

I built two Destroyers and never noticed my gpt change at all and this is in 2000AD. So I can't exactly confirm this yet either but so far I am thinking their are not any gpt maintenance on naval units. Maybe I will be able to confirm this after I finish my current game.
