I have no idea what that would entail.

It would mean test running how the units behave in combat, then editing the stats for attack, armor, charge etc. in the descr_units.txt file. It takes a lot of time, and we'll probably try to get hold of a team of beta testers to do the fine tuning of the stats, but for the first rough version it would be great with another team member. I could teach you how to do it if you're interested.

I worked with that sort of thing on another game, and it turned out I was very ill suited for it. I just cannot imagine the effect that changing a value will have on gameplay in my head, so all the work I did there had to be changed later. My real job was to create items and creatures, not to make them work well, but the fact remains that I found 'game balancing', as it were, to be my weakness.
