Not quite. You will only be able to either reduce the price of LI to make it cost-effective, or you could make LI almost HI by increasing its hitpoints, protection and so on. Most of the other suggestions aims at giving LI different abilities than HL, and that needs to change the code I believe.

I second (or I third rather, as Apoger already exprimed his support for this) the suggestion about "strategic moves that end in enemy territory". It would give LI and Light Cavalry abilities other than what can do their heavier counterparts, and make them a worthwhile unit if you are planning to use such strategies. (Or if you are facing an opponent who refuses to engage your heavy-elite-impossible-to-defeat army. )
