Author Topic:   v4.0 wish - Auto-disband warning

When I accidentally assign too many units to a city and it can't support one of them, it would be nice if I got a one-year warning -- the city couldn't support all of it's units. Let me decide which one to disband.
Alternately, give a list box (one like that shown when you click a transport ship) of the supported units and let me pick one.
It never fails -- I'm in the middle of a critical assault, and my most powerful unit magically disbands. All in spite of the fact that the city is inevitably supporting some lame left-over 2-move transport foil halfway around the world wandering around looking for pods.
Wow that one gets on my nerves (no pun intended).

An excellent suggestion. I ran into this problem when Skye, trying to help me out, kept offloading ("transferring to my control") unit after unit of 4-level infantry into a relatively mineral-poor base thereby causing my 6-level troops to be disbanded. Like, thanks a lot, Deidre!
