This is a cool idea. But monks should not be killed by anyone, even other monks. Perhaps monks can counter other monks against an attacker (prevent troop loss due to conversion attempt). Maybe this is the only unit that can die a natural death, like in a certain number of days. And maybe deceased monks can still defensively assist the city in which they are buried, just not actively convert on an attack or act as offensive medics. Also another thought: limit ratio of monks to scholars if both academies and monasteries are allowed in one city, kind of like faith vs. reason.
