DEBUG/DESIGN: Should an army containing cavalry be able to attack Mountain w/o road

i think horsemen should be able to move onto mountains but substain health loss. to represent loss of troops (different on terrain) and this should be appllied to other terrains and units differently (desert. marsh etc)

e.g.
Should tanks be able to move over marshland without loss ?
Should cannons be able to cross Jungle without loss?

etc

In theory, but I do not think that works in the current gameplay mode/style.

It was a suggestion to what it could be changed to

IIRC cities do not leave roads(/railroads/maglevs).

They don't, but people were suggesting that they should.

If disbanded cities don't leave road, but destroyed cities do, then people will complain when they disband a city on mountains containing cavalry...

That's a difficuilt question if a road should be left when the city is destroyed, well you could argue that at least some ruins should be left. So what is the current behaviour?

This is my issue. I had a small stack of cav units and I took a city in the mountains. Well it was a small city and it got destroyed as I took it. Unfortunately my cav all got destroyed then because they were in illegal terrain. I would like to see a road left behind if that happens in the future, but I'm open to other solutions, too.
