For [1.09.7] and later Merge Zone by hook or by autocracy

[Pratapon51]

We can now merge Zones in the latest beta.

However, the population must actually be convinced by the governor to move out, which is a leadership roll that can be difficult to pass, especially if you are not counting on assigning a good governor to the temporary zone.

I suggest we should be able to forcefully evict them through either strategems or like other 'protest-like' events with troops present in the City hex. [:D]

But there's already an "evict" strategem if you want to do it by force ?

(Then you'll have to attract them back again, but who said it should be easy ?)

[Pratapon51]

That does indirectly work, but the issue then is the Zone persists. Sometimes, you want to get rid of it!

My suggestion was to just allow us to downgrade a city to a "free town", turning the population into free folk. At which point normal free-folk migration applies.

It could still be done to any population that refuses to migrate - they become free folk in a newly free folk town.
