What the unit comparison gives you
Pick any two units and their stats line up side by side — hit points, armour, damage, speed, range and cost — for the age you choose and with the upgrades you select. Because armour classes and bonus damage decide most fights in Age of Empires IV, seeing both columns at the same age is usually more useful than trying to remember raw numbers.
Versus mode: what actually wins the fight
Switch to Versus and the two units fight on paper: damage per second, how many hits it takes to kill, time to kill, and how many of one unit you need to beat the other. That last number is the one that matters when you are deciding whether a trade is worth its cost.
Comparing civilizations
The civilization comparison puts economic and military bonuses, landmarks, unique units and technology differences next to each other. It is the fastest way to see what a matchup actually changes before you commit to a strategy.
