Quite useful if your tight on upkeep cost, it should also return some manpower while were at it.

Disbanding units
Hello guys and girls, while I was reading one of my many world war books, I ended up thinking off a pretty cool idea that would (in my opinion) help the game along.
That idea is disbanding military units. I've always liked the idea of deconstruction for building, and now i'm thinking it should be done for units.
I have came up with two reasons from personally experience, and I hope you guys can help me build on this idea.
- I played so many RP games on S1914, and i loved them. I had games going for months, in which we had treaties made up and the likes. However, one thing which always annoyed me was that the person i'm trying to " Versailles"- and by that i mean ruin in terms of military and economics- is still holding a rather decent military. I believe that a 'disband' function would be useful for RP games.
- Right, what really matters. In terms of real games, the 'disbanding' feature is better explained. Early in the game many of us will spam Light tanks/ Armoured cars. As time goes on and we later get Medium tanks and Mech Infantry, i've seen Medium tanks get used more. It would be better if we could phase out and disband units we can either no longer support (might have up keep issues) or simply don't want any more.

Totally agree with both of you. In midgame, light tanks are not so useful.

They are! I wiped Russia with them. Have them in large groups of twenty and they work a treat, even dominating inf in cities with little or no losses. If you day resources are a problem, you are a terrible player.

I like the way that you have to manage your current resources, but the ability to disband would give you more control over your armies. I wouldn't like to get resources back from the disbanding though, I see to much chance of someone running troops on raids and then disbanding them to deny the other player an easy unit kill

I would only vote for getting the manpower back, because if you disband a unit, men are freed.

I agree, no resources but manpower.

I think the disbanding of troops and other units must only be able in core-provinces or needs a longer time, other-ways we had the problem that a army that is surrounded by enemy is disband by player to prevent there destruction.

I agree. Maybe it counts as a lost unit in our stats too?

It not only the stats that be important, if we get back some resources it will be the bigger problem!

People said it should only be manpower that is gotten back.

You can either decide that it can only be done in your core provinces, or your capital city ?
I would suggest a build a building (at certain level/days) that will allow you to dissemble units.

It's just an idea, but if you name it something like that, it would indicate you get something back. I.e. metal :s

I think your looking for smelting to get back iron...
Only manpower should be enough unless you decide to disband AC or tanks then there's resource involve like metal and only metal.

If you don't get resources back, then you might as well throw your units at an enemy. Same effect as disbanding, plus you may get some provinces, and take some enemies with you.

That's one way to do it, but you should consider about you economy, and enemy troop strenght plus you own troop strenght.

Don't forget, some people care about their stats and do not want to do that(I am not one of them).

As you said, only SOME people care about their stats. Most of us don't.Butter Ball Bill wrote:
