The cost of ascending is (4 to the power of (Your Ascended Level + 5) ) x 10000 naq,
and requires a minimum of 100,000 times your next level squared units.

to level:...........naq cost...................min units

asc level 1:....... 10,240,000................. 50,000
asc level 2::....... 40,960,000............... 200,000
asc level 3:.......163,840,000................ 450,000
asc level 4:.......655,000,000................ 800,000

asc level 11:....... 10,737,418,240,000...... 6,050,000
asc level 12:....... 42,949,672,960,000...... 7,200,000
asc level 13:....... 171,798,691,840,000..... 8,450,000


actually writing these out is good as i can see they are high :)
the max units last era were around 20million ... with 500,000 per day UU at the end.
so i think i need to increase UP rates or reduce the costs for UP, and it will all work out - be quite a power round :)

per updated updates page, :

The cost of ascending is (4 to the power of (Your Ascended Level + 5) ) x 10000 naq,
and requires a minimum of 100,000 times your next level squared units.

the bonus is still a doubling of each unit effectiveness each ascended level (so 2^13 = 8,192 times as powerful. A miner at 500/turn would earn 500*8192 = 4mil per turn! not bad)
