"Heavy" isn't worth the costs

[Syvan]

I feel like the problem is more that soldiers are too useful. A buffed soldier can't be one-shot, so it is expensive to attack into a soldier wall. They do reasonable enough damage, and if you are using them to defend, they are going to be able to apply pressure much faster and more cheaply on a counter-attack than a sniper or heavy. I feel like their health is 1 point too high. Starting at 2 would allow them to trade and a buffed soldier would be 1-shot by heavies or snipers.

But yeah, it seems that in most cases massing soldiers with a little ranged support is best.
