With complex multi-variate calculations, I approximated several components of attack, special, defense, and tactical ratings to come up with an overall score of each unit. This is a curiosity and to be taken with a grain of salt

I have done this before, if not as well, with CoM I.

All units assumed to be of 'regular' experience and with regular magic weapons.

These are combat-only ratings, meaning units with overland benefits like regenerating 0 or 1, wind walking and healer undercounted

Great work! This should definitely be taken into account when setting unit stats, for a smoother and more balanced experience.

Yeah, the formula results get a bit crazy with uber units. Updated the file a bit but the scores are relatively the same.

Taking score, accessibility and cost into account (and not unit buffs), some of the best units:

low-tier normal: high elf and dark elf cavalry
mid-tier normal: **crusaders** , gnoll and draconian halberdiers
upper-tier normal: **warlocks**, warships, pegasi, elven lords

tier-1 summon: **war bears**
tier-2 summon: **giant spiders**, cockatrice
Tier-3 summon: **efreet**, angel
Tier-4 summon: sky drake, behemoth, great drake, death knights

Those all check out. Good units all.

Your xls spreadsheet link might be broken with your recent update (11May2021). I note 0 downloads. Also wouldn't download for me.

Maybe post it as a google doc or similar that doesn't require Realms Beyond Forum registration? If you're linking on Steam those folks don't all have registration here.

Original unmodded Master of Magic unit ratings (with some formulas adjusted for differences in concepts)

I'm pretty sure there are a few errors here and there as I was rushed when doing this.

Wow, the original Master of Magic unmodded is an unbalanced mess!!
