Remember that even a unit you would never ever buy has strategic import in this game as long as it is local to some areas. It means that:

 Except in the most extreme, extreme cases, I will never spend money on a "useless" unit, regardless of its location.  It is better to save that money, and spend it on a useful, cost efficient units elsewhere.  Every unit has to be balanced to be cost-effective - not powerful, mind you! - just cost-effective.  The unit's cost must match its value, whatever the value/power that the unit happens to be.
When all the units are properly balanced, I can assure you that I will still build 95% of all my units in national forts.  But there will now be realistic cases where I can rationalize spending money on some indy slingers in a heavy warzone or some light infantry to patrol or be chaff.
