"Improved AI" mod - feedback appreciated

[PDF]

Following a thread here, I've made a simple mod to help AI building "better" units, by simply increasing the resource cost of all "crap" units to 999.
"Crap" units are loosely defined here as troops of human size, very lightly protected (6-), with average (or worse) morale and no good missile weapon.
I've made the changes for all national units as well as indies, and the human player(s). It should be complete but I've not checked everything ... Notes about the changed units are directly in the .dm file, no readme has been ade.
My test games showed that the AI units were now rather better, as the AI still builds the cheapest units, but those are now usually Medium inf or better . Anyway you can try it, feedback appreciated.
Mod name is "ABnC- Ai Builds No Crap" , complete zip at

Yes, but then YOU can't build crap either! I need my crap!

Oh, how nice.

Any ideas of how it works so far?

Yes, that *can* be a problem...
But to get rid of it the mod has to be split in 18 sub-mods, one for the indies plus one per nation...
For SP an alternative is to rather make 17 "everything-except-that-nation" sub-mods.

Anyway it's a pain in the *ss, so I didn't make it

Wont this make much of Ctis "crap" (thinking primarily of the morale here)?

Would make it pretty hard to play Pangaea also.
But it may work as a test-bed for finding out if the AI really WOULD be better off not spending money on mass infantry.
