Disbanding Units ?

JulienLeo · #1 January 27th, 2007, 03:52 PM

Hello,

After having played Dom2 a bit a long while ago at a friends home, I decided to buy Dom3 when I finally noticed that a new version was released a few days ago *grins*

I wondered, is there a way to get ride of units that you don't really want ? Hmmm I mean to disband them, instead of sending them to there death in a meaningless battle ?

I'm playing a game where I cast Utterdark, but those tons of militia, flagellants and other zealots who joined me during the game are killing my income ...

Thanks,

Julien

Nope, you just have to kill them or live with them.

If they kill your income it's time to kill them back.

It'd be really nice if you could permanently add specific units to your province defence-rather than sending those old war-horses to the glue factory.

You're probably the Ashen Empire, right? Send them into battle accompanied by an undead commander carrying Woundflame.

If possible, give a commander an item that lets him lead troops underwater, give him as many militia as possible, send him to an underwater province, have him leave the province with the militia still there, enjoy as they drown.

If you can pull it off, it is a much easier way to kill, since there's no need to gather all the militiamen that fled the battle in which you were trying to get them killed.

Great idea Agrajag !!!
Gotta try that ... Well I am also a bit relieved cause I checked everywhere if there was a mean to disband unit and couldn't find it ... glad that it wasn't an oversight from my part *grins*

I think there really should be a disband button to let the soldiers go back to their home province. They could just be added (back?) to the population. Summoned units should of course disappear and undead turn back into corpses.

LA Ermor has got a lot of options for dealing with such undesirables. Wind of Death, Burden of Time, Harvester of Sorrows, etc.

If you don't have stuff to get your people underwater, you can also find a crap province with low supply and low pop (swamp, wastleland) and send your crap units there to pillage it to death. Then abandon them there - no people, no supply, they'll starve. It's slow, but everyone can do it.

I'd be for this if it bumped unrest in the province they were in on dismissal.

unemployed soldiers tend to make naughty citizens.

It really WOULD be nice for the softer-hearted pretenders out there to have a way to stand down forces short of mass murder )
