And gutting ones. I am currently allied (or was) with Oslo in my current game. I'm playing as Montezuma.
I must have literally spent over 15000 Gold to build up this massive Industrial Era Army (~ 5 Artillery, 5 Infantry, a couple Cavalry, a couple Tanks, one Destroyer). I also gifted Oslo a level 10 + unit that started as a Jaguar. I figured that they would steamroll Genghis Khan by proxy war, because I didn't want to puppet any more of his cities. Oslo was in perma-war with Genghis Khan, and I wanted to seal the deal by gifting Oslo all of my units at once (because the AI is stupid and gets their units killed if you only have one).
There was also one Mongolian rifleman in Oslo's territory. Fine. It was the first one to enter Oslo's territory in about 50 years (on Epic), and Oslo had a rifleman of its own (one I gifted many years ago).
So, I gifted them all at once. One turn later, Genghis Khan decides to send a massive force of 4 riflemen and 2 cannons, and Oslo fell like a 500lb weight.
For the first time, I was like "WTF!?" I guess it was my fault for attempting such a stupid strategy, but still, I was completely pissed.
I'm sure someone has something even more infuriating than this. In the same game, I was also beat to the Great Library by one turn. lol
