How to Give Allies Resources in Age of Empires 2

Collecting resources is what will make your civilization thrive by increasing in size, building new structures, training special units and also advancing through the ages. However, as your civilization evolves, you will notice that diplomacy and trade are essential parts of success and survivability in an ever evolving world branded with new technologies. Being generous and strategic will always pay off, specially in a world so bent in direct confrontation. Here is how to give allies resources in Age of Empires 2.

How to Give Allies Resources

Before being able to give allies some resources in Age of Empires 2, there are a couple of requirements you must have. First, you must be at Feudal Age, and then, you must build a Market. This will enable the diplomacy icon to appear and trading to be available for you. Once you do, click on the new diplomacy icon that appears on your screen, it is a green leaf at the top right of the screen. From here, you will be able to send resources to your allies.

First, click on the desired resource you will want to send, that is located just next to the name of your ally. For every click you make, you will donate 100 of the desired resource you want to send. If you hold Shift while clicking, you will send 500 resources instead. Be sure to donate to your allies, although you might be able to send resources to enemies that have their diplomacy stance in a non-locked state.
