-Some units have <italic>text='defense caps'</italic> for a particular basic terrain type. In that case, the 'best defense' behavior is overridden -- they can never recieve a higher defense rating than the lowest defense cap value for any mixed terrain type which includes that basic type. For example, the loyalist cavalryman has a defense rating of 30% on forests, and a defense cap for forests. Thus, on forested hills, he has a defense rating of 30% rather than 40%, because the mixed rating cannot exceed the cap.
