I agree that a soldier with a single affliction is generally worth keeping, but one with two or more can better serve his lord by staying at home. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: User Interface Improvments Wanted

I would love an option to retire my soldiers, even if it cost something. I mean, with Burden of Time, you get some soldiers that are blind, limp, with chest wounds, battle fright, and lord-knows-what-else. These people are less than useless. I'd love to be able just to get rid of them, even at the cost of unrest or gold.
