Ok, some additional points against changing homecity without visiting
it.

On unit effects of buildings like barracks:
Units would have an increased chance to get veteran by switching
homecity during fights (it's possible to make war with 1 barrack) you can
switch back after all units have been moved.

Bypass of the rule that for building some units there have to be certain
buildings in your city.

Bypass the chance that you lose a unit supported from a city which is under 
attack, when unit is on the field, out of range from an allied city.

I'm still against that rulechange
