Quickie: Recruit Pool Modifiers?

[Live2sculpt]

It has been half a year since I was last making some recruitment pool related changes, and now I can't remember how I did something...

I have ZERO recruitability on the first two turns and most unit types list "next available" as 12 or more turns away.

I had already swapped back in a normal EDB with the regular values, but the problem persists. What am I forgetting about here? What else affects those factors?

I've never done it this way personally, so i cant be 100% certain, but this value may give you a solution:

That value only changes the turns it takes to recruit the unit, not the waiting time until the next unit becomes available.
If the text says that it will take 12 turns to the next available unit, it is certainly a matter of your EDB. Are you sure your backup did not have the original values changed already?

Example:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

recruit_pool "rohan scouts" 1 0.25 3 0 requires factions { milan, }

The red value states how many units are available directly after building the building. If the value is 0 as you said, you should change this.

The blue value shows how much of a unit is created each turn. Divide 1 through this value and you see how many turns it takes for a new full unit to beome available.
Increase this value to get your units faster.
