I was wondering if someone could help me out. If some stats of a
game use letters instead of numbers (A-E), how do you set it up in
the definition file so it will recognize and allow it?

For this purpose, you don't use the definition file at all, it's all in the
data files. Here are 3 ways of doing it:

1) If a unit has a stat 'Blah' with a value of 'D', give it the unit local
attribute 'attr:Blah="D"'.

2) If the stats can be selected by the user based on options, have an
option use the 'stxt:Blah="B"' attribute to change the stat value
appropriately.

3) If you need to be able to increment / decrement stats, for example if
you can take a 'Skrill Weapon' that increases your Blah stat by 2 letters
(e.g. from B to D or from A to C), you can use the a attribute like
'smap:Blah-map:1=A,2=B,3=C,4=D,5=E'. Then have the 'Skrill Weapon' option
just increase the value of Blah by 2 (using stat or base). Then, for a unit
with a Blah of C, give them the value '3' for the stat and Army Builder
will do all the work in turning it into numbers for you.

Hope this helps,
