This is something we could do all the way back in Civ 3 so idk why its so messed up in this game. Im trying to keep an ally alive because when i help them win battles...it apparently dosnt count towards their war score. So i figured i would make some units and gift them units and cash but they keep refusing.

they literally have NO ARMY left so i dont think its an issue of maintenance costs. what is the issue here?
