Here are some hard facts I've accumulated, either first or second hand.

Movement modifiers are limited to the range from -4 to +15.  A MM of 15
	costs 75 crowns, so that might be a linear 5-crowns per point.
Carrying capacity cannot be lowered below -2.
Maximum special attack is 20.  This costs 400 crowns (assuming no
	other modifiers), which leads me to suspect that the cost
	of a special attack is a straight SA-squared.
Morale seems to cost 1 crown per point.

The more useful modifiers are more likely to be nonlinear in cost,
with large values costing *much* more than small ones.  If you're
trying to boost your AF bonus, it's much cheaper to do so piecemeal.
A +100% AF is *expensive*, but you can probably afford +50% AF plus
+50% missile attack bonus plus +50% bonus with weapons of class 'bow'
plus +50% bonus with crossbows.  If you expect to spend a lot of time
attacking towns on the plain, you might throw in +50% grassland and
+50% versus walls, etc.
