These troops are my troops, those troops are your troops... And when we're allied, they still can't work together. And yes, your special troop is a mercenary. And no, you can't hire any other mercenaries. So how will this be in CIV? Place your bets!

I think they will be able to go in the same tile, but not hiring out Mercs, That would be nice though being able to buy units from someone

I agree with immortal. But you can sign an eternal agreements with your allies. You'll then share wonder effects. Perhaps you'll then be able to buy/sell troops?

you can share line of sight, so you should be able to trade/enter tiles, but i doubt the trading will happen. maybe share tiles.

Well ... I'm hoping it will be like Civ(I) at minimum ... ie. selling/gifting units to an ally. Hopefully, there will be some ability to enter the same square as them, but that might be difficult to work in the battle area. Still, it's possible.

I hope both options will be available, but I doubt it. I've often wanted to give troops to a weak civ in war with a major civ, but I guess that could be exploited so I guess they won't include it. At least not without some restrictions, like trading with allies or something.

Hehe, I could see some interesting effects from selling units. Fighting with the egyptians whom are allied with the germans... Couple turns into the war, one of your cities fall to egyptian panzers?

Somehow, I think UUs would be exempt from the unit trading.

In an epic civ game, I don't think either of these will happen... Such a shame. However, in alliance mp games, you will be able to trade/sell units, I hear. I've heard nothing about being able to move onto the same tile, but I doubt that would happen, anyways. Just call me pessimist. :p
