Disbanding army

yeah dude, just cause it would be cool and usefull doesn't mean its balanced. It would be nice if every nation had their own 9-conjuration titanic SC chassis - like the seraphs or mandahas... but that wouldn't be the right thing to do - it would not be something that any programmer will agree with, nor is your idea.

I would not want to see the 1=100 ratio. I can imagine huge abuses, and lots more micromanagement.

Iwould be very happy with a simple disband feature, alas it seems we will have to wait until "Dominions 4, Rise of the Thingies"

I agree... MY suggestion was a 1 per 10 ratio.

I think NT Jedi is right about the balance. The worst case is probably using a few hundred Maenads for a few thousand population for a few tens of gold per turn. At 5 Maenads/turn a Pan could be covering its maintenance cost in *only* 46 turns.

Calm down a little. It is indeed alot of micromanagement if such army-population conversion feature is to be added. Since this is not the civilization game, one unit is meant to represent one creature in Dom.

If you could work out a sensible equation for such conversion, why not make a mod? I'd download it. As for Illwinter, I will be content if they introduce a basic 'disband army' function.

What about Dreamlands freespawn?

Any units which appear from summoning or freespawn can be added to a 1 per 2 ratio instead of the 1 per 10 ratio.
Also to answer the next future question any undead should not work for any nation thus a 1 per 0(zero) ratio.

as I mentioned in the other thread... personally, I feel that disbanded troops should be added as Unrest, not as Pop.

You suddenly take away a soldiers paycheck, and see how well he assimilates with the civvies...

remember, tho poor guys in-game don't know that the other option was dumping them on the bottom of the ocean
