AAI unit building problem (borked profile?)

[FizWizz]

I've got a problem with AAI, for some reason my AA 1.44-F profile only builds construction units. I have customized the profile some, and I think that that might be the problem, but I've also done similar customization to my XTA PE profile, and it works normally.
This is my profile:

AASpring144F.cfg

Here's my XTA profile, for comparison:

and finally, my general configuration, just in case.

one remark: limiting the max number of onstruction units to 20 while allowing aai not to build more than 4 per type may in worst cause cause aai not to build more than 5 different builders...

[submarine]

i copied you config... it built units. however it takes some time because aai will first build scouts and builders an then start building units...

[FizWizz]

I should have been more patient... it builds attackers, but it only does so after first building 4 of each builder available in each factory (on green comet, this was about the 11 minute mark). If I reduce the max builders (per type), will that help alleviate the problem?

also, if I change the unit type of the amphibious builder, transports, and other undesirable units to "unknown" in BuildTable_AASpring144F.txt, will that keep the AI from building them?
[edit]nevermind, AAI rewrites the buildtable each time I run it, apparently.

[submarine]

the txt file is only for debugging purposes and to give the player the possibility to figure out aai's decisions. aai reads its data from the mod-learning file, i dont suggest to edit this manually.

since aai doesnt build more than one factory of each type it is not quite optimal for the forge-variant. i suggest playing aa standard version instead...
