How to disband an army?

Pretty sure you can only do it if you get that one opportunity.

Yeah that's the only way atm. We may add a button to do it manually in future.

This would definitely be a nice option. Just finished playing a game in Domination mode, and for the last third of the game had 4 navies with nothing to do. If I could have disbanded them, would have saved food & increased projected power for the armies.

What do you mean by domination mode?
Its not yet in the game

Because it is not defined as such: Max out the Great Lighthouse to 4 crowns. Set the other crown values to 0. This way, you need to control 250 spaces to win; nothing else matters.

I play this way, when I cannot win the normal game.

ok, thanks

If there are rivers on the map, navy can be much more useful. I've just played a game on Mesapotamia map where my ship was useful all game (conqest type so it was a long game)

Noticed that too on the China map, playing as the Qi. One navy made it's way almost to the western side of the map, before the game ended.

Necroing this thread to ask if that's existing now, and if yes how does it works?
When the opportunity pops up I clearly don't need it, but afterwise, once I want to go further, it's just a pain to see useless troops plundering power yield. It makes the ending too tedious while you're full of money.

This is so true. This is the most annoying thing about this game right now. Why the hell can't I disband my army? This is ridiculous.

Sorry that it's frustrating! It's still on the wishlist but we've prioritised other stuff. FWIW there is some historical precedent for it being tricky to disband armies in ancient times. They didn't like losing their jobs, not without a nice payout anyway!

We may add it one day. It's honestly not a common request, hence the low prioritisation to date. Also, it is quite rare that you actually benefit from losing a unit IMO. You may find that as you play the game more, it ceases to bother you.

I will defo keep it in mind tho. One workaround for now: you can often get your unit killed on purpose by leaving it in a vulnerable hex by itself and waiting a few turns.

Well, I hope it's above steam achievements. Game mechanics are much more impotant for a game than this useless flavor stuff.
Anyway, nice job here, the game is overall pretty fun.

This is absolutely murdering me right now. 80 turns into a Dholavira (Indus Valley) game, the last 40 have been a complete stalemate. I have 8 armies and 6 fleets, and I would massively benefit from disbanding 5 of the fleets, because I've already conquered the entire coast and I dont have enough army power to break through to the Ganges.

And it's only getting worse over time, at this point the Harrapans are so urbanized that even the lucky streak of power opportunities that I'm waiting for wont be enough to break through.

So now I'm facing either starting over (♥♥♥♥ that) or cheating, either the game if I can, or just the achievement via SAM.

[Jean-Maurice Nya]

The only reliable solution I have is to lose battles so you'll get some armies wiped.
