Author Topic:   Disbanding bases?

I most likely missed this somewhere, but I was wondering if it was possible to disband a base (besides having it eraticated by military forces). I still don't care too much for how the computer places its bases (I won't place a base if it overlaps, while the computer still does it consistently) and wondered if disbanding bases was possible. I tried building Colony Pods at a Population 1 base, but it did nothing. Does this game not allow disbanding at lower difficulty levels like (I believe) Civ2 did?

At lower difficulty levels, I believe that new colony pods don't remove a point of population. It works as you expect at the higher levels (Talent and above?) In fact, if you build a colony pod in a pop-1 base, the game will warn you that the base will be disbanded, and allow you to delay production of the pod, change production to something else, or proceed to disband.

At the lower levels, the city size is decreased by one, it just doesn't allow disbanding. Oh well, guess I have to restart another game. Thanks for the information.
