Also to bolster the army, She uses the treasury to buy up mercenary contracts. Now when that number drops to the danger zone, Does that affect the quality of the troops or does that not matter?

If there is a direct connection between income and troop quality it is not an option we can change. From prior threads, IIRC, there may be some code that takes into consideration how many mines the queen has and the quality of troops . . . but I don't know it. There is overall aggressiveness or defensiveness option, and there are options to set the game progress stages at different points in the game, but I don't think there's anything specific about money and troops for the queen.

This thread by sun_alf might be of interest for the topic

Realistic approach to replenish Queen's Army Reserve (New algorithm of increasing 'giReinforcementPool' counter)

Edit: Just read it again. This probably is only valid for recent 1.13, not 7609.

In 7609, queen originally has QUEENS_INITIAL_POOL_OF_TROOPS_DIFF troops, when it drops to zero, QUEEN_POOL_INCREMENT_PER_DIFFICULTY_LEVEL * diff is added.
If UNLIMITED_POOL_OF_TROOPS_DIFF is set, creating squads does not reduce pool of troops.
+AI changes the code so that QUEEN_POOL_INCREMENT_PER_DIFFICULTY_LEVEL * diff is added when pool is lower than QUEEN_POOL_INCREMENT_PER_DIFFICULTY_LEVEL instead of zero as it should make strategic AI more stable and avoid potential situations when there's not enough troops to make a squad but more than zero so they do not replenish.

sun_alf's solution is more complex and as far as I know it changes default 1.13 behavior even with default/disabled options.

Making pool increment dependent on number of towns/mines controlled may seem like a good idea but it will make Queen weaker and player stronger as player progresses which is probably not good for game balance.

Also, It would be interesting to put the G11 back in the game. But instead of Mike having it, It's Queen Deidranna's weapon of choice
