× = how many times longer the vanilla version takes to beat the Radious version than the other way round, at equal gold.
Assumptions
Unit card values only (no passive abilities, skills, items or techs); every model of both units fights at once at its weapon's attack interval; every missile hits; no charge, mass, splash, flanking, fatigue or leadership. Multiplayer cost is the gold. Each side is measured against its own Chaos Warriors and Chaos Knights — under Radious, Radious's versions of them. Same formulas as the game's best-faction lists and the combat calculator.
