Originally got this post from Murlock's forum back a number of years ago. I've marked the extra bits I've discovered for myself, which don't amount to much:

Note 1: To find the string constant address from the pointer, form a 4 hex
digit number from byte 1 followed by byte 0 and add 294A0. For
example, bytes 0 and 1 for Brax are D3 21. Adding 21D3 and 294A0
produces 2B673, the address of the string "Dwarf".
Implode extra note - this offset is different in the different language versions of MoM. The info above only applies to the English version.
I got old of the French & German versions as well and figured out the name offsets for their data, so all the known name offsets are:
$294A0 (English)
$28ED0 (French)
$294D0 (German)
Note 2: The cost to hire a hero also determines the fame needed. The fame
level is (hire_cost - 100.) / 10. rounded down.
Note 3: The cost in the unit table is not used for units summoned by a wizard.
The mana cost to cast each spell (including summoning spells) is in
the file SPELLDAT.LBX at bytes 1A and 1B after the start of each
spell name. For example, the string "Demon Lord" starts at 1E44.
Bytes 1E5E and 1E5F are E8 03. 03E8 hex is 1000 decimal, which is
the cost to summon a Demon Lord. Editing SPELLDAT.LBX will change
the spells in the game. Editing the costs in the unit tables should
change the average number of creatures in lairs.
Note 4: The upkeep cost for heroes is ceil(hire_cost / 50.) unless the hero
has the Noble attribute. The upkeep cost for normal units is
ceil(build_cost / 50.), except that the first type for each race has
zero cost.
Note 5: Bytes E and F are 06 00 for summoned units. For heroes byte E is
unique to each hero. Byte F is used to initialize the artifact slot
type (00 sword/shield/ring, 01 bow/shield/ring, 02 mixed/shield/ring,
03 wand/ring/ring). Once the hero has been acquired, the artifact
slots are stored in the game save file and can be changed there.

Note 6: This is the order the buildings are listed in BUILDDAT.LBX, and
corresponds to the unit table codes for those buildings which are
required for normal units.
Note 7: This bit is set for all cavalry type units. Its effect is unknown.
Note 8: This bit is set for standard units (spearmen, swordsmen, etc). It
causes the race name to be listed before the unit name on the unit
display window. It may be set for any normal or summoned unit to
list the race or magic realm name. It has no effect on heroes.
Note 9: This bit is set for all flying units, but clearing it has no apparent
effect on the unit.
Note 10:This bit is set for all summoned units. It controls a) whether upkeep
is in mana or gold+food, but does not change how upkeep is calculated
(byte C in the unit structure for summoned units, note 4 for normal
units), b) whether certain spells can be cast on the unit (clearing
this bit for a summoned unit allows you to cast Heroism, Holy Weapon
etc. on the unit), and c) whether the unit can gain experience. This
bit may have other effects as well (such as "ignore weapon immunity").
Note 11:Setting this bit puts "Land Corruption" on the unit's display. There
is a help window for land corruption, but the ability does not work
as stated in the window. Probably the program code for the land
corruption ability has been removed.

8. Race structure byte descriptions
Bytes 2 through 17 form two byte signed integers with the low order byte first
so that 7 is stored as 07 00. Negative numbers are represented by the two's
complement so that -1 is stored as FF FF and -2 as FE FF. Prohibiting a
building makes all buildings that depend on it inaccessible, so they do not
need to be in the prohibited list.
0,1 Pointer to name of race (note 1)
2,3 Number of prohibited buildings (0 to 7)

9. Upkeep costs of enchantments
These are stored as two byte positive integers, but only the first byte
(the low order byte) is nonzero since none of the values exceeds 255.
