Alrighty, time to answer this. (I'd be surprised if anyone reads the whole way through)

Here's an example with my worker count and management screen.


Resource Production
Let's start with res production. I currently have Level 5 Farm, Level 3 Gold Mine, Level 3 Lumber Mill and Level 5 Mana Stone.

The amount of res you get from facilities depends mostly on the level of your structure. The higher level structure you have, the more you will produce in your facilities. The amount of res your workers produce, is calculated like this:

So take my management screen for example, I have 913 workers and facility production of 17 for gold. I would calculate like this:

The same goes for Lumber production for workers. You might've noticed there's a (+78) behind my gold production from workers, and (+32) for lumber. That's because I have a 50% production boost for both gold and lumber, you can see on the top right of the screen. It's calculated as:

In my screen, my worker production is 155 for gold, and 63 for lumber, so I'd do this:

On to bonuses. The bonus production comes from your alliance's crystals, res ops, and relics, if any. For every 4 crystals your alliance holds, you well receive +1 gold and +1 lumber.

For every gold mine that your alliance holds, you will receive +5 gold. For every lumber mill your alliance holds, you will receive +4 lumber.

For every relic that your alliance holds, you will receive +20 gold and +20 lumber.

Your mana production is completely dependant on your structure level. Level 1 = 1 mana, Level 2 = 2 mana, etc. You should know that.

Growth
Time for growth. You can see there's a list of things that effect your growth, let's go through them one by one. Numbers in white are adding onto growth and numbers in red are obviously subtracting from growth. =P

Base growth - it's always +40 no matter what, nothing changes it.

Farms - this number depends on the level of your farm structure. Level 1 Farm= +1, Level 2 Farm= +3, Level 3 Farm= +6, Level 4 Farm= +10, Level 5 Farm= +15.

Crystals - you get +0.04 per crystal, rounded up.

Resource Outposts - you receive +1 per every 2 res ops your alliance holds, rounded up.

Workers upkeep - you get -1 per every 25 population.

Army upkeep - you get -1 per every 30 soldiers, which means -1 for 30 inf, -1 for 15 cavs, and -1 for 10 hevs.

Outposts upkeep - -0.5 per outpost, rounded up. Which is -1 per every 2 ops rounded up.

Dragons upkeep - you get -1 per dragon, it doesn't count if you have unarmed dragon lairs or whatever it's called in Fantasy.

Agents upkeep - you get -1 per planted agent.

Conquers - you receive +1 per conquer, easy enough.

Tribute... just ignore it, it shouldn't be there.
