New Idea for military

[T-Money]

What if instead of the military units being "built", you could sign people up? Like in the prodcution box, you could click on "recruit rifleman" or whatever unit, and the people will sign up in so many turns if the city has a significant level of happiness. Just an idea I had floating aroudn.

Yes, its nice, because military units consist of human resources and means of combat.
Thus, you have to produce something for them anyway (swords, tanks, etc.).
Not just the people

It seems to me that this would not be anything that would be noticable. No unit is one pop point in size (one pop point is like 12,000, right?) In my mind, all aspects of producing units are accounted in the shield cost.

The recruit rifleman button is already there. It's just called drafting. Anyway, it could be an interesting idea thoguh not realistic because one unit can be as little as 1/100 of a pop point.

one pop point is like 12,000, right

It increases with city size what the pop points give. At pop1 you have 10,000 at pop 12 you have about 720,000 and at 18 I think you have about 1.5 to 2 million IIRC.
