Did anyone of you directly donate recourses to your allies in conquest mode?
To me it seems like a waste, as you know you can spend it better than the ai, especially the allied ai.
If so, under what circumstances did you donate your allies? And do you think it was actually beneficial?

In my 1939 Finland conquest, I donated a lot of resources to Japan since they were getting destroyed by America, canada and India. They actually managed to fight back using the resources.

I only donated some not $$ resources.
Not sure about whether or not my resources helped but at least Nazi Germany took Western Europe (except UK).
Definitely not gonna keep doing so now that I'm in Europe & have also unlocked missiles.

Ofc it depends on the country and development during the conquest but in my 1939 i always donated good amount of money towards another 3star country so he could survive and when i finaly got at that side he even helped me killing the last troops. So yes you can use it with succes. Others will not do it ofc

While playing as Germany in 1943 I dont spend allot of money, only technology and industry, so I donate my left over money (often over 1000) to Japan. This allows them to defend against the enemy, staying alive, so I can sweep in and destroy the weakened forces, ending the conquest early on, under 50 turns.

In my Finland 1939 when I got S rank i donated 100% of my $$$ to first italy (who was losing in africa) and then japan (who was losing in asia) until turn 47-ish when I started to build up for thw invasion of britain, and then I sent the leftovers to japan. The end result was the steamrolling of the allies (my allies took all of asia themselves, i just finished the american continent. I would say donating is absolutely worth it.

My personal opinion is that it is a waste of resources to give money to allies unless one is in serious trouble and you want to save the trouble of retaking their territory later. You are generally better served building and upgrading tech institutes with any leftover resources after each turn to shorten the number of turns it will take to unlock missiles, nukes, etc.

I too only donate when i got spare resources to give away. Usually late game i give out free cash ( if i produce more then i spend ) and bucket loads of science to other countries.

I did donate once....... I hated myself for doing so since always the AI seems to disagree with my war tactics of not sucidally killing my units.

To donate resources to allies requires to have any allies left.

For the sake of experimentation I played as Canada, and all my resources went to allies... Guess what? Nothing, I was perhaps an object for jokes between them, for they were defeated sooner than usual that time.
So the main purpose of donating for me is to prevent a total collapse while I'm busy elsewhere...

They probably got overcondfident, sent in their entire armies, & they got destroyed.

Now, I think it's personal, within this line of thought: "You, rich boy, think you can buy victories instead of fighting... We surrender next turn and you will receive nothing for conquest, you morron" :0)
