hi there it's my first post I've always loved civ bla bla bla, now to the serious stuff:
I know the idea might "shock" some perfectionists like me, who take every little thing too seriously. But you must admit: units should not fully recover after a combat!
Think of it this way: units represent a group of warriors, right? So, if your 4-hp archer (or, say, 4-men archer in CivIV) got reduced to 1-hp archer, that's like saying that 3/4 of the archer's "legion" has been KILLED, or at least unable to fight.
Let's assume that among those 3/4; 1/2 are injured, while 1/4 are actually DEAD. So, the dead guys shouldn't be recoverable. Also they cannot be recovorable for a cost of sh... uh, hammers, because they wouldn't have the "experience bonuses" attributed to the rest of the "legion"
Changes alot eh? 1/3 of the forces you used to invade Persia with shouldn't have even existed!
