Disbanding Units ?

I'd be for this if it bumped unrest in the province they were in on dismissal.

unemployed soldiers tend to make naughty citizens.

It really WOULD be nice for the softer-hearted pretenders out there to have a way to stand down forces short of mass murder )

I very, very much want to see a disband troops ability.

However, at least for me, the whole purpose of the disband troops ability would be lost (or at least reduced) if it also increased unrest in a province. The whole point of a disband troops feature (to me) is to reduce mm. Since it is always feasible to get your useless troops killed off, and since doing so always involves some trivial/tedious work to do so, it matches the very definition of micromanagement. If unrest were increased, then whenever I disbanded troops I would then have to micromanage the province back to 0 unrest (since I don't use autotax).

So, I would certainly be for a disband troops feature with no side effects.

Adding pop back to the province sounds nice, but it does allow you to recruit lots of militia in one province (which you don't pay for in population) then add pop to that province or some other province. The net effect is that you can pay cash in order to grow population. Could be an unbalancing result.
