Infantry uses the "30 s musketeer scale" for training.
Cavalry uses the "40 s hussar scale" for training.
Scaled train times were introduced into the game in AOE patch 1.06. This happened before the final patches that made colonial fighting more prevalent compared to the previously dominant FF strategies.
Right now the cost and train time make it very difficult to train the necessary amount of cavalry to properly counter colonial light infantry. In totality, the number of anti-cavalry measures in the game is pretty high -- many anti-cav units, tower and TC damage bonuses, increased train time, increased cost.
Would decreased train times be enough to help with the current situation?
