Generally speaking, I'd expect light infantry to get massacred by enemy archers. What do you base your suggestion on? I hardly expect that light infantry would literally dodge arrows, so by all accounts heavy infantry should be better equipped to face enemy archers (e.g. Roman legionaries and the turtle formation would be a good historical example). As Dominions handle things right now, this is the case - the high Protection of HI allows them to counter missiles, while the maneouverability of LI allows them to maintain a high Defense (which is irrelevant vs missiles). However, it might well be worth countering crossbows and the like with LI - such missile attacks will give HI some problems and in such situations, fast LI might be preferable.

That is not to say that LI might need to get some extra advantages - but I don't know if I agree that increased defense vs missiles should be one of those.
