gifting units to other civs?

[MaartenR]

Is there any possibility, at all, to gift units to another civ? I really enjoyed this in Alpha Centauri but it's gone in Civ3

I've been searching for a mod to fix it, but can't find any. Any help please?

Not possible.Civ I, II, SMAC - yes; Civ3, no. Would be nice (set up and "lend lease"), but it can't be added either.

I somehow saw that one coming, unfortunately

LOL Imagine what you could do if you could gift any kind of unit in Civ III? I would make about 5,000 explorers and gift them all to a civ so that their unit support goes crazy and they will never have enough money to do any research! roflmao!!

Or they disband them all in a city and beat you to a wonder.

Disbanding units in cities building wonders gives no shields.

And gifted units are "slave" units. No upkeep. At least that is how it is with workers and artillery.

I stand corrected. Still could be used to create a lot of units and improvements. and armies. There is always the gift of money to civs that can do money rush.

Now that's an idea to thinnk about.

If you could give them military units, I think that would definetly cost unit support cuz even extra privateers that you gain from killing AI ships cost 1 gpt. So What I would do is that in the Indust. Age, I would get all my cities to have factories then disconnect my key resources so that I can build warriors. Each city would pump out a warrior every turn and once I have like 4 or 5,000, I would give them all at once to the most powerful AI other than myself. I've never seen the AI disband military units ever so I doubt they would disband warriors. They would also probably try to mass upgrade them and lose even more money. So they have like -2000 gpt or something crazy like that at 0% science and would be stuck way behind in tech. Then while they are still researching like nationalism to get riflemen with 30 turns to go, you have infantry and cavarly parked on their mountaintops. Easy war

AI disbands in RFRE at least. You use propaganda to take Pergamum and over the next few turns the guys all around the city keel over and die! Whether or not the AI does this by choice is immaterial - The units disappear. Would still ruin their economy, though

well you can give workers
