Yes, it would then recruit nothing BUT the unrecruitable chaff and end up with no troops, which is the problem I'm talking about.

What would it do with all of its extra money then? Queues are limited to 100 units, which is the mechanic I am banking on here. Once saturated, the AI should shift to more accessible units as long as it has gold, no?
Read the damned mod file before making pronouncements. There are disabled chaff and recruitable units mixed in the poptypes, which means that when it gets a choice, it will go for the cheaper but unproducable unit over the normally priced, unmodified unit if gold is weighted too much. If you're so curious about it, then run a test on it yourself and tell me the results.

Bottom line: I am NOT interested in making your suggested alterations. The reason for that is that the mod as it currently stands works well enough. So I'm not going to waste any more time on it.
