Yes a "normal" default worklist will only contains improvements. But
it should also possible to include units.

Yes giving up and just building coinage is a good solution IMHO. And
if no coinage is available choose a settler. The problem is removing
AI dependencies in the server. And it isn't a big problem if the user
has to switch from coinage to something other. We can also make this a
seperate event so that players can filter for it.
