Its been a while since I played melee, but I'm pretty sure he's talking about the number of units you own. Low/Mid/High income which affects how many resources you gain per hit. I don't remember the numbers exactly, but low income (under 40?), you receive full resources, 10 per. At Mid income, it becomes 7, and at low, it becomes 4? Maybe 3? Pretty sure 4, but someone who plays should be able to clarify more.
