I really dislike losing large armies to cultural defection. My earlier suggestion of using the diplomatic kick-out function on units in a defecting city got mixed reviews ... here is a new idea.
I really don't think anyone enjoys losing very large armies this way. I don't think many people enjoy the solution of garrisoning recently conquered cities with a number of units equal to its population size.
My new idea is pretty simple: if you have 3 (or maybe 4 or 5, the exact number is negotiable) military units in a city, that city cannot defect or revert to a civ that you are at war with.
Cities with less than 3 (or 4 or 5 or whatever) military units are treated normally. All cities still defect as normal to civs you are not at war with.
This way you still need garrisons for conquered cities, but they don't have to be ridiculous 12 or even 20 unit ones. Best of all, your gigantic 30 Tank + 30 Artillery legion will never just vanish.
A cool option would be to be able to enforce this no-convert-due-to-3-troops thing even to civs at peace, but eventually suffer huge happiness penalties ... this would simulate martial law. However that is just a little side idea, not really important.
Anyone like this idea? I think it would be effective, still slow down conquest, and not be impossible to program.
Thanks for reading.
