Yeah. I agree with this.
It seems new players are quite frustrated by the restrictions. When the game had more wars going, it was easier to gain honour and prestige but even after a war, it is quite hard to gain enough h/p to become an infiltrator or cavalier. Maybe all the requirements should be halved?
Cavs especially; I get the idea and flavor behind the restriction (and would be fine if it stayed), but if you really want to go with cavalry, it's extremely difficult to contribute anything until you are a cavalier. The 25 man unit to 60 man unit jump that comes with it feels odd and, the way cavalry works, makes you feel very inadequate until that point.
