Draft problem

I wonder if they could ad "National Draft", eg. draft from every city that meets the requirements with a single click of the mouse. And the draft button doesn't update if I move to the next city in city view. That's a bug, and annoying one.

I don't think I would ever use this button.

Hmm... I thought that disbanding cities that have lots of draft unhappiness just switches that unhappiness to the next nearest of your cities. That's what kept happening to me when I tried that a few months ago... has that changed in the latest version?

Edit: Oh wait... I misread your post. You're disbanding the UNIT not the city. Interesting...

I spend a lot of my time nurturing modern era empires to greatness. 27 shields from each conscript MI really gets the courthouses and temples speeded up in newly conquered lands. Especially when you have built Longevity and have a population problem in your core cities.

Wonder how well that applies to early conquest?

I love drafting, I believe the citizenry should get stuck-in, lend a hand in repelling the vile invader. The war-weariness that results makes the game more challenging anyway. Of course once the empires borders are stable, there's no more need for shovelling poorly paid, poorly equiped and poorly trained conscripts over the top, ala The Chechyen War. Usually they are only drafted for defence, to free up vets, divert enemy attacks and police unruly cities. Oh yeah- and to protect the colonies.
