                                Command : GIVE

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: give <COUNTRY> <AMOUNT>

The `give' command lets you easily give cash to another player  without  going
through  the financial hassles of making a loan or selling goods.  Each `give'
transaction makes the news as a "charitable contribution", and  there  are  no
strings attached.  The money simply changes hands.

SPECIAL DEITY FUNCTION

For a deity, rather than move money, `give' can be used to alter a  number  of
nation and sector variables.  A deity can use give to adjust the amount of one
or more specific commodities in a sector, or alter such things as  efficiency,
workforce, and mobility.

For example, to increase or decrease the amount of a commodity in a sector:

                                Command : GIVE

        give 17,21 20 m -15 f      add 20 mil, remove 15 food

Non-commodity items can be changes by prefixing them with one  or  two  equals
signs:

                                Command : GIVE

        give 17,21 100 =eff        set efficiency to 100%
        give 17,21 127 =mob        set mobility to 127
        give 17,21 100 =work       set work percentage to 100
        give 17,21 100 =avail      set available workforce to 100
        give 17,21  20 =own        set owner to 20
        give 17,21  20 =oldown     set old owner to 20
        give 17,21  95 =road       set road improvements to 95%
        give 17,21 100 =rail       set rail improvements to 100%
        give 17,21   0 =loyal      set loyalty factor to 0
        give 17,21 255 =bunker     set bunker size to 255

        give 17,21 255 =btu        set sector owner's btus to 255
        give 17,21 12345 =money    set sector owner's money to $12345
        give 17,21 1000 =reserves  set sector owner's mil reserve to 1000
        give 17,21 400 =tech       set sector owner's tech to 400
        give 17,21 400 =research   set sector owner's research to 400
        give 17,21 400 =edu        set sector owner's education to 400
        give 17,21 400 =happ       set sector owner's happiness to 400

                                Command : GIVE

If you prefix the option with two equals signs instead  of  just  one,  output
messages will be suppressed.

Commodity amount changes will show in the news;  sector  and  nation  variable
changes  will not.  Also note that you can string multiple options together on
the same command line (often avoiding the need to use the rather messy  `edit'
command).  For example,

        give 17,21 100 =eff 127 =mob 999 f -999 m 255 =btu
