Sinner,

That's a great idea about changing the prod. costs and the support costs. Simple and effective. {Aren't the simplest ideas always the best??}.
Just one query - where is the unit support cost multiplier? Is it in the CRUSADER_unit.txt file? - and under which header?

Good thing you reminded me to change the Muslim Peasant troops as well - completely forgot about them. They really do need every encouragement to produce good infantry. {It has just occurred to me to add at least one iron deposit in each of the three Muslim faction provinces}.

Thanks for the help.
