The only things that are still to be done is 1) a confirmation of the data used, a time-consuming task, but I can do it, if desired. I should have enough saves to be able to find every unit fairly quickly. 2) maybe just a column that says whether a unit is ranged or not, because that really is an important data point, or, as suggested, a separate table for the ranged units.
P.S. Yay for Sprites being the best non-level five unit, and only surpassed by archdemons, black dragons, and red dragons.

Even if the classifying method is not perfect, it show correctly which units are the best/the worst. ie Sprite among the first, archer among the last.
To improve it you should put damage, attack & leadership in a single column : Average damage for 1pt of leadership against an enemy with, say, a defense of 20. This allow to take into account all basic damage parameters (number of units in troop, attack, damage.)
You can even add the critical chance as a multiplier, with for example an arbitrary 130% critical dmg.
The same can be done with defense & HP : how much effective HP for 1pt of Leadership, against an ennemy with an attack of 20.
Thus for Ancient Bear :
9.8 average dmg against an enemy with 20 defense for each bear.
With the 30% critical taken into account, that increase to 10.682 average dmg.
each pt of leardership give you 0.136 dmg and 0.875 pt of HP (supposing an ennemy with 20/20 att/def).
If you already have some excel chart with all units it should be easy to generate that.
As for the snake, I saw that some website mentioned a Lvl1 Snake. I guess its was transformed to a Lvl2 in later versions of the games.
