What about generating a requestor in this situation?  Something along
the lines of


   "There is not enough gold to support XXX unit.  Disband unit
    or sell improvements to fund further upkeep?"

   Disband Unit                                               Sell Improvement


Seems only fair to give the player the choice at the time rather than
hardcode it or make it a server option.  Don't know how feasible this
would be to code though.
