i must agree brother! following every scientific principles and facts, I must say : this is totally TRUE. They all float away in the ether, just like us in the real life... 0_o :)))))

Yes, I've tested and confirmed that they only join your towns.

sorry, i don't know how to 'quote' your previous sentences.
but, f...! this means that if i disband roman citizens in a 'colony', they become inhabitants of the colony...
that means not available anymore for soldiering (as roman citizens)...
gosh! have to restart the game from earlier

Why would you restart? its not as if those units would have their previous Experience

**Rahwana** · 09-10-2010, 12:58

for some weird reson, mercenaries did that too

I wish I could send armies of levies into enemy territory to disband and create massive squalor penalties and eventually revolt. Now that would be an awesome form of warfare!

See, I told you guys! If you disband a unit in foreign territory, their numbers dissapear and they float away in the ether!

Suicide. This game is messed up. I ain't buyin' it for my future kids.

This is useful if you want to quickly populate a town to build it up faster, just spam the cheapest per man unit in a town and disband them in the desired target.

RP it as a migration, or make it coincide with the construction of military colonies or grants of land to RP colonization.

Akontistai are great for this sort of thing... I don't generally move population around, but as far as cheap and spammable goes (particularly when garrisoning towns, which is how I use them), Akos are practically EBs answer to peasants...
