Default Re: in which occasion will you raise taxes

I don't mean to imply that cost was the only advantage, as there were many examples of light, mobile units slaughtering sluggish armored ones (the Crusades come to mind). But I think it was a huge factor, and that if the cost had been equal (like in Doms II), heavy units would have made up the bulk of historic armies, rather than light units.

There's also a possibility of assigning heavy units penalties in certain terrain types (swamp, mountain, forest).
