If you want to protect the unit from dying due to loss of homecity, you
can use the new F_NOHOME flag. However, this also prevents you from having
shield or food upkeep on that unit.

The idea behind F_UNDISBANDABLE when not used with F_NOHOME is that this
can be used to create risky units that will destroy your city if you are
not careful, or evil units that are powerful but live only for a short
time until their city of origin has perished through sacrificing all their
citizens to it.

Yes, I plan on using this in a modpack one day :-)
