Strikes me as odd... [Mongol Infantry vs Mongol Heavy Dismounted Archers]

[BlackShield]

Hi to everyone!

Did any of you notice that there is a huge price difference between the Mongol Heavy Dismounted Archers and the Mongol Infantry?

The first costs 710 florins and the second only 580.
However, the Mongol Infantry seems (and apparently is) far more effective in melee combat, with attack 11 and defence 16 against an attack of 9 and a defence of 12.
The Heavy Dismounted Archers have good morale, and a slightly better charge bonus, but does it really justify such a difference in price?

A friend of mine talked to me at length on this issue, and he thinks that maybe the prices were erroneusly switched bu the developers . Although i find that hypothesis not very realistic, I admit that the mongol Infantry seems a little underpriced to me.

Baa baa BlackShield, have you any wool... Hi! And welcome!

Seems to me that the MDHA have an Armour Piercing bonus and a morale of 9, both of which have big benefits.

The FAUST also lists Mongol Infantry as having 0 in upkeep, compared to the 150 Upkeep of the MDHA, which, while not relevant to the player as they are not a playable faction, would make the Mongol Infantry a very useful backbone of the Mongol armies, and the DMHA would be the élite troops you'd deploy against armoured opponents.
