With Feudalism or similar, any military unit should be able to be turned into a worker on a city square with the loss of a citizen from that city as normal. After all fealty goes both ways.
It should cost some gold but the amount decreases with each new tech unit converted. So modern armour might not cost anything to convert whilst a warrior may cost 50g or more.
This would work better than disbanding a unit for shields as it wouldn't have to interfere with a cities production and be a great way to access workers from those max populated cities still building aqueducts or hospitals.
Not sure if this should apply to settlers as well as it could upset game balance but if settlers can be 'made' from (1 or 2?) military units a greater gold cost is needed to compensate for the increase in shields and of course the city must lose 2 spare citizens.
Emmigration- instead of full blown cultural flips (which are being taken out of civ4 anyway) unhappy citizens should leave the city and emmigrate. The citizen leaves the cities population by becoming a worker of the admired nation and makes a beeline for their nearest city.
