The second centered formula (why didn't you number them???) says that if unit X costs 200 and unit Y costs 100, then X should have half its HP left the moment Y dies in a straight up battle.

I don't see why that should "ideally" be true. In fact, raider/riot/skirmish triangles are easy counterexamples of this assumption. This also forces a very specific balance situation where bigger units [i]always[/i] win in a battle of equal cost.

Worse, this [b]implies that all units are equally good against each other[/b]. That would probably the most boring game/unit selection I could imagine.

Maybe this is an assumption/example by you, but it's not clearly marked as such and makes up a substantial amount of your document...

I
also
fail
to
find
a
definition
of
ψ
and
ϕ,
with
the
former
being
used
both
as
a
function,
a
function
argument
and
a
differential.

Otherwise
I'd
try
to
wrap
my
head
around
the
unit
group
idea
(
because
that's
an
interesting
topic)
,
but
I
don't
see
how
any
of
the
standard
meanings
of
ϕ
would
make
sense
here
either.
