Yes, that was just a dig at Zim for his actions in LotR. I actually have no problems with cost of any kind, including bankrupting the faction. I didn't do anything to intervene when LotR plunged into 60k+ of debt. That's an IC issue and should be resolved as such. If people are prioritizing too many expensive units and it is causing financial problems, deal with it IC.
On reflection, I also have no problems with prioritization allowing specific unit selection from any province a player owns. It's no more difficult for the Chancellor to implement than the current system and would indeed give players slightly more independence from a hostile Chancellor, which I am increasingly tending to see as a likely improvement in game mechanics.
