GoR and Afflicted Units

... Well, that's counterintuitive! At least to me, anyhow. So, in otherwords, GoR force-picks a unit for you (at the time you create your orders), but at least you can tell which unit it has picked. Do I have this right (now)?

I don't think so. I think you get a list of specific units to pick from, and can choose which unit you want to gift.

As for why not all the units might show up, I don't know. Maybe in the example, the units were different in some way you didn't know about, such as amounts of experience lower than a whole star, or home province?

no. they were identical un-GoRed tartarians, no experience, same home province...

some show, some don't. you can see this anytime you have a bunch of chaff units too - sometimes one "mechanical man", say, will show up as a GoR option. sometimes two, or three.
