What about a popup window with a radio buttun, an icon (also showing damage)
and some text information (cost, morale, location, wether it is a
transporter in use and what is on it, ...) for each unit supported by  the
city. The sequence above determines wich unit's radio button is selected
when the popup window appears. The player could then make changes and press
Return (click OK). The AI just uses the sequence above.
