Dominated in Basic (3): Light infantry, light cavalry, medium cavalry, horse archers, heavy crossbows. This is considered acceptable; consider cavalry-types mobility, for example. If Light Infantry switch cost from 4 to 3, then they beat every other type! See Wikipedia: Strategic Dominance. Makes numerous assumptions: Frontal clash (except pikes), ratio of terrain present equals ratio of terrain fought on, etc. Possible in-play experience may be different, but probably hard to get enough data to offset the millions of simulated combats that have been run to develop this. (i.e., Need more sophisticated simulator program for hope of improvement.) Only one unit type per side, no supporting units, etc. Eliminating Dominated Strategies: --------------------------------- Assessed win percents (budget 50-200): MI HI P A L C HC Wins ---------------------------------------------------------------- MI - 50 52 - 50 - - 3 HI 50 - 56 - 53 - - 3 P - - - - - - 63 1 A 56 53 62 - - 80 - 4 L 50 - 58 63 - 73 - 4 C 62 60 65 - - - - 3 HC 55 59 - 62 70 57 - 5
