In case you are not familiar with multiple regression, don't be fooled by the
size of the coefficients. There is some collinearity -- some of the stats used
as predictors are correlated with each other, so their unique predictive
contribution is affected. For example, strength has a zero-order correlation
of .24 with cost, but in the multiple regression, its coefficient is negative.

Er, um, I don't doubt this, but may I ask why Size is a positive value? With the sole exception of Trampling, Size is almost invariably a negative in Dominions, isn't it?

Do you mind if I use this to calculate values for the commanders? Also, is this ignoring other factors (magic, etc.)?
