Is there a way to give a city to your ally

[Delmarquis]

I'm playing as the Empire and I'm helping the dwarf who lost some of their town to the ork. I'm about to conquer there old capital but I dont know if I can give it back to them after. The thing is that I dont want to own this city and prefer to give it to a powerfull ally. Can I do this or should I search for a mod ?

I believe the closest thing you can do is free the city burn it to ash and wait for your ally to take it from ruins.

Only through a mod, like this one. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1376337924

There's a region trading mod, but no way to give cities in vanilla. I pretty much always use the region trading mod because it's ridiculous not being able to gift regions to allies.

Considering that region trading was possible in former/older Total War games makes this especially ridiculous.

Also the AI for certain factions become catatonic/paralyzed if they lose their starting city ever. Arkhan for instance. I originally got the mod because of a campaign where Arkhan lost the Wizard-Caliph's palace and was reduced to just Sorcerer's Isle before I came in to rescue him. I razed Lashiek and Wizard-Caliph's palace so he could take them back, but he just sat with one army on Sorcerer's Isle, and wouldn't move. I gifted him like 100,000 gold and he wasn't upgrading the settlement or recruiting or anything, for like 20 turns.

So I finally installed that mod, colonized Lashiek and Wizard-Caliph's Palace for him, and gifted them to him, and the AI started actually doing things again.
