Helping allies...

[Panzergrenadier]

Dear friends from Civfanatics,

Is there a modpack avaliable that allows offering units to allies in Civ 3? Sometimes gold, tehc etc simply won't do the job, you need to help your allies or friendly powers with troops, now. But what if it isn't in your best benefit to enter in the war as a beligerant? What if you just wan't to offer guns and suplys like the americans in 1939-nov/1941 period of WWII.
If someone has a solution, such as the sale or offer of military units, I would be most thankful to download it.

I thank you already.

This is a needed feature, and as of yet, I know of no way to give units to allies, as far as I know, you can't do any kind of arms dealing.

The idea is not only to deal weapons, but also to demand from your foe them as a condition for peace, for exemple. Imagine requesting your rivals battleships, just like the Allies did in the ditak of 1919 against Germany, or demanding your enemys armor force, like after the fall of France in 1940.
It would be really nice
I hope someone could solve these problem soon.

I think Firaxis planned on implementing this feature, perhaps it will be in the next patch....'course I still think that we need to be able to play with the AI, tell it what's worth what to it, like make techs worth less so you can actually trade with them for equal....

This is a 100% great idea! I've been able to trade 'workers' with other civs, so why not any units. It would be a great way of using a minor allied power to eat away at a major opponent without actually becoming entangled in a war yourself. ES

Dear friends,
We could say that that Civ3 would a hole new game, and even better.
A friend asked me if it wouldn´t be a mess if you could sell an unit to a another civ without the tech needed to build it. In my opinion, no. The buyer would be able to use the military unit, but not to build it. There for the tech would be even more precious. As we all kwon, is not unusual to see countries with guns that they can´t build, for exemple Brazil, my nation, is looking foward to buy a new figthers force. A few nations are offering their planes, but only Russia is willing to transfer the tech of the Su-27 to us.
If this systen doesn´t seens to be possible, you could always made the buyer recive the unit according to its tech level. For exemple, a mech inf. recived as regular inf. if the buyer lacks computers.
See you.

Russian planes!

MIGs ;p

Well seriously...yeah, I've already stated things above ;p

Plus to make it so it is a little tougher, have it be like when you give an allie troups, the troups would have to travel unarmed to the allie.

(just my opinion)

 

[Panzergrenadier]

Nice suggestion Grawss, it would be a very realistc system.
If not possible, however, a simple solution would be using the trade network to transfer the military aid.
In short, you should have at least one harbor, road or airport connected to your allie in order to offer him military units.
