Attila the Hun just captured Vancouver that was allied to me and providing me food and resources.

I declare war with Attila immediately and retake Vancouver and return its city state status.

The following turn I try to gift a worker that I captured while retaking Vancouver, but I see no option to do so. I can gift any military unit without issue.

Is this broken? or has it always been this way? or bugged?

You've never been able to gift a civilian unit to a CS. Sweden can gift Great Persons to CSs, but that is limited to GPs, not other civilian units.

Yep, it's always been this way.

Which is a bit silly, I think.

You can pay to improve a resource for them, no need to gift a worker.

My goal was to help them repair improvements and get them on their feet again. I couldn't build/repair them myself, so I thought I'd gift them a worker to help aid them, but it's taboo in this game.

Anyway, I just gifted them 500 to help buy themselves some help.

Thanks

You CAN pay them to immediately improve it. Under the "give a gift" section, you should be able to gift 200 gold to improve a resource.

I disagree. Workers are silly cheap late game, so you can churn out one per turn from each city (and probably get some overflow if your production is especially high). Have 2 cities just making and gifting workers, and you could go up by 10 influence per turn.

Other units' production costs scale, obviously preventing you from doing this.
