If that's the case, then wesnoth should never have had level-2, or level-3 units.

These are eminently disposable in a MP game, but in a campaign, I will always restart the level if anything other than a L1 dies. (At this point, that is of course a fairly rare occurrence.) Given the number of other people who've explicitly stated that they do the same, I know that I'm not alone in this behavior, by far.

The same problem was present in Bungie's Myth series - disposable units, and units with "time-value" that gradually builds up in them, are inherently contradictory. If it takes hours to replace a unit that dies, then a player will opt to save-load; if it takes moments to do so (c.f. level-1 unit dying), then a player won't save-load.


So, it's not like limiting AMLA is going to solve this problem; even remotely.

Yes, this is an important point. AMLA gets soon very expensive. Especially if you always have to decide between HP bonus + heal or special bonus and no heal. In many situation you'll need the instant heal more and not gain much power. Not to forget, there should only be a limited amount of special gains
for each unit. Not +1 MP available 10 times for example.
