If nothing else, I'd work out a precise relationship between measures such as speed and distance in real world units (miles, etc.) and the ability ratios. HeroWars seems to usually believe in a +5 is a doubling, you seem to loosely have doubling at +W - whatever, I suggest you stick rigidly to the ratios, rather than use tables and approximations.

Sometime I must edit and post a short essay on what I think the ratios might be trying to say about "contest" skills, such as close combat.
