In April 2004 comment this same page I estimate those Ultima values in
Design analysis: P1, K2, W3, Co3, Ca4, L5, I8, keeping integers. I
haven't done C++ programming this decade, so don't know whether King's
offensive value would be needed, depending on structure of program. 
Refining these estimates, maybe L closer to 5.5, and W>Co. [Further, I would 
enter P1, W3.1, Co2.9, Ca4.3, L5.3, I8.2, and see how that plays]
