I tend to "retire" my wounded or cursed units into a province patrol. It feels good. Maybe because Im a veteran.
But I can see the point about volunteers that show up. Those have been a pain for me. I wouldnt mind being able to discharge units from my service deirectlry into defence points of a province. That seems like a good idea.
edited: new thought. Then what happens with nations that get alot of free units? Pangaea maenads, is it Mictlan that can just summon troops of some sort? Hmmm no that wouldnt work since it would allow converting crappy troops into better defense.
Maybe Saber's idea is better. A pretender should be able to snap their fingers and dispose of an army. Can that be abused? Are the free units SUPPOSED to force you into finding something to use them on?
