I want to disband cities larger than size 4.
I edited Const.txt MAX_DISBAND_SIZE 15(that exact spelling and spacing).
Started a NEW game to test it out. Got to size 5, it wouldn't let me disband.

I tried every value on down to 5, it still said it wouldn't let me disband beyond size 4. I tried 2, and it still let me disband UP to size 4. So it seems this MaxDisband key is utterly IGNORED.

Here is an example, you'll have to excuse any syntax errors as I am at work right now and don't have alot of time.

You would probably need a message box to come up and ask you if you want to disband the city.

code:

---

//put the city selected into my location variable disban
typelocation disban; 
typecity die;
trigger 'disband' when (city.selected){
//there might be a better way to trigger this than if a city is selected
extractlocation(city.1,disban);
getcitybylocation(disban, die);
message (g.player,'killcity');
//message asking player if he wishes to disband the city???
}
messageBox 'killcity' {
	Text(ID_DISBAND);
	Button(ID_BUTTON_NO) {
		Kill();
	}
	Button(ID_BUTTON_YES) {
		message(g.player,'rundisba');
//if yes call the message box to disband city
		Kill();
	}
}
messageBox 'rundisba' {
           abort();//do not show message but run code
addpops(die, -50);//city buster, decrease pop by - 50
	
}

You would have to also edit the strings text file for the text you want to be displayed in the message box.

How about binding to a key... with a city selected... what happens to the 'focus' when you use the key binding triggers? I'm not near CtP so I can't test it out.

I have used it in some of my own triggers for a city buster when I need it.

Good Idea about binding and adding a settler after the city is destroyed.
