(Not a bug) [1.0.0.62 - 1.0.1.221] - UU (Khan, Hoplite) from city state

The Great Apple · Oct 28, 2010

The Patronage: Educated Elite SP gives great people. I just had Ragusa give me a Khan. I am Egypt and the Mongols are not a civ in my current game (though they are available).

I'm pretty certain this is a bug. Most likely the game simply picks a random entry from the "Great Person" list without excluding unique great people.

EDIT: Playing OCC, though I doubt this matters.

Also, got a Khan as France from a city-state.

Likewise just had Kublai Khan from Sidon when playing as Arabia. Didn't complain though, as a Khan seems awesome!

You know what's weird, it happens the other way too. I was playing as Mongolia, and if I remember rightly I got given a normal great general from a city state, and then later in the game got a Kahn from a city state.

I think your suggestion for the cause of the bug (simply picking a random great person) is a good guess.

I am friends with the militaristic city state of Budapest and they gift me a Hoplite. I dont expect to be gifted a Hopilte because its a unique unit of a civ never in this game. It may be significant that I researched Bronze Working on turn 65, and I did so by queuing Iron Working.

I only attach an after save, though I quickly attempted to reproduce from an autosave and the Hoplite didnt appear.

Khan or Hoplite...same issue.

I also got a Bowman from a city-state when playing as Suleiman.

Playing a single player game as China (no mods).... My ally Almaty just gifted me a War Elephant. How is this possible?

From the same game.... I haven't researched Iron Working yet, in fact I haven't even researched Bronze Working yet. But I do have Mathematics and my ally Almaty is giving me 5 iron, so apparently I can build catapults. I don't think this one is a bug, but I didn't know it could happen!

Bonsoir,
This evening I want to introduce a new UU: the british Jaguar, given to me for a few minutes by a friend CS (see below)
I would have prefered a french "légion étrangère" but unfortunately my neighbour is not Napoléon.
perhaps this UU has a range of 3, like the longbowman

I'll tell you.

The easiest way to fix the bug would be to tell us that it's by design

.
Because it's imho not necessarily a bug, it would be a nice feature.

dshirk · Mar 31, 2011

This is by design. We wanted the city states to occasionally gift "exotic" units to make them more interesting.

The_J · Mar 31, 2011

Thanks for the clarification

.
I think there have been thoughts about this before the release, and if it was not already in, someone would have modded it

Early on in a Civ 5 game as China I had allied with two militaristic states and had gotten a gifted unit from one of them. But when I was about to give the unit orders when I noticed it was a Jaguar.This has never happened to me before and I'm just wondering if anything like this has happened before to anyone else.

And welcome to CFC

Please look above, it's intentional and not a bug

German Maori Warrior.
It is impossible.

Artingel78 · Aug 12, 2011

Please Answer this is clearly a bug.

anandus · Aug 12, 2011

This isn't a bug, probably Germany got that from a city state:
