The barbarian within

[stormbind]

Leaving manual dispanding as it is in Civ3 with: "are you sure? these are our people!"

When units are forcefully dispanded because of "we cannot support this unit", I feel that unit should become a barbarian.

This makes sense to me, because military units who don't get paid, generally don't just dissapear... they get angry and do stupid things, like try a coup

Seems like a cool idea, although I can't remember the last time a unit was forcefully disbanded on me.

ummm...no. maybe with conscripts, but this is a bad idea

i like this idea.. but i guess there won't ever be a coup of any significant size if the barbarian units are only from those disbanded.. we can just send them to enemy and let the enemy kill them. it'll make it more intersting if one city left in riot for more than 3 turns to generate a barbarian army...

That's true, you could walk troops into a place that has ROP, waste all your money, and watch them disband into an angry mob

I don't know if that good or bad. It would not be easy to do because large numbers are required to actually cause damage, but it would be interesting to see how it plays.

If they are in your own cities when it happens, I guess they would pillage (steal gold / reset construction).

Don't buildings get disbanded first?
