Unit Overall Rating

[Earthworm]

I have not yet completed my first game, but am really enjoying it. In trying to determine what units should compose my army, I have been looking at various threads related to Unit power. Such as Peasants vs Dragons, etc. None of them have satisfied my questions though, as there are quite a few good points.

A stack of 500 Peasants has a higher damage than a comparable Single Black Dragon, so on the surface the Peasants look to be the better deal, but when you factor in Attack and Defense Modifiers, the Dragon could do upwards of 300% damage to the Peasants.

So I decided to use the Unit Listing located at Gamefaq (So any wrong data in the unit info I got from there, which I think my stats for the standard Snake are wrong). And build a weighted Unit rating. I made it weighted because in my opinion Damage per Leadership is more important than Speed etc.

So this is what I based the ratings on. (#) = Weight

Damage/Ldrs = Average Damage ((LowDmg + HghDmg)/2) divided by Leadership cost per unit. i.e. a Peasant does .30 Average Damage per Point of Leadership, a Black Dragon does .05 Damage Per Leadership.

Hit Points/Ldrs = The Number of Hit points per unit divided by the Leadership cost per unit. i.e. Peasants have a 1 to 1 as they are 5 Leadership for 5 Hitpoints. Black Dragons are .32 to 1 as they only have 800 Hitpoints for 2500 Leadership cost

Attack = Straight 0 to 10 rating where Black Dragons = 10 as they have the highest Attack rating of 56, and Peasants are a 0 since they have an attack of 1.

Defense = Straight 0 to 10 rating where Black Dragons = 10 as they have the highest Defense rating of 56, and Peasants are a 0 since they have an attack of 1.

Speed = Straight 0 to 10 rating where Archedemons = 10 as they have the highest speed of 9, and Ancient Ents are a 0 since they have a speed of 1.

Initiative = Straight 0 to 10 rating where Archedemons = 10 as they have the highest Initiative of 7, and Ancient Ents are a 0 since they have an Initiative of 1.

Each of these Categories are rated from 0 to 10 based on comparison to all the other units, then Multiplied by the weight.

The Total is added up, and an overall rating is scored in comparison to the rest.

Here are My Results.

Keep in mind that this does not compare specials, like The Archer Ability, so really only compare like type units. It also does not take into consideration Damage Type, or Resistances, so use it as a loose guideline.

I hope it helps.
