I get the feeling that even if luddite were to agree to a GS for peace with Ioan, mackoti wouldn't honor it.

That would be Athlete-using-Slaze's-army-against-Slaze level of evilness in diplomacy.

Query: Is it legal to sell GG if it is not legal to trade units that have GG attached to them? Isn't it exactly the same thing?

[Nicolae Carpathia]

Maybe stipulate that these GGs can't be attached to a unit, only settled or military academied. While GG, theo, rax, stables, vassalage gives you natural lvl 4 units, I think that's a sufficient barrier to entry. What do you think?

[zakalwe]

There's no rule against trading units, though I guess one might be needed in relation to turn splits (i.e. you cannot receive gifted units outside of your time slot).

Regarding great generals, there is this rule:

17. The Heroic Epic and West Point can only be built once you have a qualifying unit that has always been yours, and if joined to a GG, the GG was one you spawned yourself

So you can trade away a GG but the recipient cannot use him to enable the Heroic Epic or West Point. (Although technically, someone who wanted to abuse the rules could use the GG to boost unit A to 10XP while attaching him to unit B.)

So I guess the above rule should be reworded as follows:

17. The Heroic Epic and West Point can only be built once you have a qualifying unit that has always been yours, and that never received experience from a GG that you didn't spawn yourself.

[Krill]

Oh if that is the way the rule is written no worries then.

[NobleHelium]

Yeah, a traded GG can be attached to a unit according to the rules, you just can't build HE/WP based upon that unit.

[Gold Ergo Sum]

Yeah, we contemplated this when setting up the game. In fact, Luddite hit me on Gchat the other day and we went over what was legal and what wasn't.

[novice]

I'll go as low as a great person + 500 gold [for a Great General].

Sounds like a hard sell to me.

[Gold Ergo Sum]

Way overvalued. I wouldn't trade a GProphet, GEngineer, or GScientist straight up. Is a Medic chariot or free barracks worth that? Hell no. If you could get HEpic off of it, it would be different story. Even if you could get the +50% building, it would be a close call.
