I would just like to comment that it really is not that difficult to
get rid of the full heal from normal leveling. The amount of code to
do it is trivial. The question that should be discussed is whether
such a fundamental change in the game is desirable.
Personally, I find the full heal to be annoying. It makes units that
are very close to levelling much more valuable then a unit that has
just leveled. Of course, this has become part of the standard
tactics, especially for units with charge, but it is one that ruins my
suspension of disbelief. If I were king, I would make it so that when
units leveled up that they would gain the difference in HP between the
two levels when they leveled. Thus, a unit that levels from a 35hp
unit to a 45hp units if it is wounded and at 1/35 and levels up to
11/45. This makes killing a near-leveled unit much easier to do by
swarming, since you know that attacking the unit won't result in it
gaining 44 HP. It has always seemed odd to me to have a unit limping
along at near death suddenly become good as new after killing 1 other
unit.
That said, it would be a large enough change in gameplay that there
would need to be general agreement on it. Serious rebalancing would
be required both to the individual units, but also to campaigns.
