	When the unit database (EDU) is loaded, the game combines unit category and class to know which weight to apply. It also calculates a value for the unit that is based on a unit's stats. Note that I say value, it has nothing to do with cost or upkeep (!). This value can not be seen anywhere in the game without the use of external programs. Soldier count has the biggest impact on a unit's value. That is why large units tend to get recruited more often than small ones, which can be amended by using recruit_priority_offset in Medieval II Total War: Kingdoms.

	It has to be stressed that this unit value is far more influential than the preferences set by the AI personality. For example a stalin personality will still prefer a very good light infantry unit over a bad heavy infantry one. These biases only come into full effect when units are of equal or similar value.
