Math balancing was tried in Spring ages ago and the consensus was that it does nothing more than give ballpark figures when it comes to relevant values.

Like IK said, there are tons of values which interact with each other (and with the user!) in ways that make it very difficult to create a decent mathematical model.

* a light unit with 1% more range than LLT is much more valuable in comparison to an otherwise identical unit with 1% less than simple math would indicate. The model would need to treat the whole unit roster as a whole instead of assigning each unit a set of stats, which is nontrivial.

@gajop: ZK has a modstats tool that does exactly that: gather stats from games. It is broken at the moment though.
