I disagree here as well. If you merely lower their costs they will still be inferior to HI and be underused -- up to the point where they are more efficient, and then HI will be rarely seen.

It is far more intersting to model the real world reasons that people used such forces, than speculative economics. It especially makes sense when you're trying to get results similar to history, e.g. a variety of viable unit types.

I agree that gameplay is the most important thing, but IMHO in this case history has much more interesting "gameplay" than Dominions, and serves as a very good model.
