Default Re: Unit Cost Equation

Nah, normalizing the data is a straightforward method of "tabling" it. I'm sure the practice is commonplace. It will also give people an idea of what the "upper-bound" of your study is; They would then know when they can no longer use your numbers to determine cost.

I think it might be just as easy though, to just type out a cumulative cost chart for each stat. Then you don't need to normalize, just plug and chug. Just dump the equation parts in a spread sheet and...

Oh, and by the way, you may want to remove outliers from the unit lists. Any units which break the mold by being too cheap (likely for nation balance purposes by the devs) where never meant to meet your "entrance criterea."
