Actually, HARD_QUEENS_POOL_OF_TROOPS, etc is only the size of the reinforcement pool. The actual number of enemy soldiers available at the start of the game on EXPERT is about 1560 or so (number varies for each game), which includes garrison groups, patrol groups and reinforcments available for those groups. If the reinforcement pool goes to 0, the queen can train more in batches of 30.

As for whether the AI can be programmed to control finite as opposed to unlimited resources, it certainly can. The question is: can this be done and still provide good gameplay. Anyone contemplating trying this should first read the AI programmer's comments at the top of STRATEGIC AI.C as to why he thought that basing the Queen's resources on mine income might be a bad idea as far as providing good gameplay.
