Re: Can you disband?
The whole idea is to use those maenads as disposable fodder. Chuck them with your main army and have several extra white centaur hierophants just for ferrying more of them to the front, you won't even need to buy any units because the mass of maenads just drowns the enemy. I'm playing with a turmoil 3 luck 3 Pangaea, and I've only bought the javelin satyrs, a few satyr hoplites and white centaurs, the maenads are my main troops, and they die like flies in any major engagement, as they are supposed to.

Re: Can you disband?
As far as I know, there is currently no way to get rid of units you dont like. So let them starve.

Re: Can you disband?
I had that same problem. I thought the notion of 'free' troops coming automatically at your turmoil would be quite good, so I created about 3-4 maenads, and the damn things came at about 20 per turn. While this was good against the first few indies, as soon as they're not dying, they cost so much upkeep and food that you can't build anything else, and in battle against serious oposition they really suck...Still, that's my fault for wanting to something for nothing

Sometimes you can't even let them starve. I had about 50 tritons on the Aran map; had all the ocean provinces, so nowhere to attack. Tried moving them all into the most remote, undersupplied provinces, and still had too many supplies for them to starve (forts nearby, I think).
So - 50 or 60 tritons, totally useless, soaking up my gold income. There really needs to be a disband option, imo.

Re: Can you disband?
Take an astrally powerful commander, give him a ring of water breathing, then have him gateway the troops into an environment they can't survive.  Doesn't work for amphibious troops, but for that... well, try an undead commander holding a Rod of the Leper King to disease 'em all. Eventually they should die unless you're Pan under Gift of Health and they're lucky with the recuperation.

Re: Can you disband?
Is there something like a patch wishlist where we can put this?
