Hmm... the pics are to small to actually make any sence of it...

Could you do it again, this time with readers being able to see what is what?

If you want to read large versions of the charts just click the link at the top of each category.

If you want to know just about everything about every faction; check out Honga's site :yes:

Interesting work.

I don't know if you've already seen them, but these references could be of additional interest to you:

Artillery Stats (http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Artillery_%28M2TW%29)

This is with Patch 1.2 for vanilla M2TW.

There is also a very large host of additional factors which you may or may not have considered, including the effect radius and morale bonus/penalty of special units and weaponry (like the Carroccio Standard and cow carcasses), lethality (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showpost.php?p=1656695&postcount=19), mass, animation effectiveness, etc.

But in the grand scheme of things, the real question is not what the best units are, but what are the best overall factions for SP/MP/Mod. So these "best unit in class" lists are somewhat irrelevant in practice. And of course, the definition of "best" would vary for each person, with each factor weighted differently. The weighting systems themselves may be radically different (nonlinear, piecewise, etc.). I would like to see the formulas you used for your rating system and maybe a description.
