Draw your arrows, I will permit it! Witness the defense of Uruk, this greatest and richest of cities! The deluge of the land is my will! Melammu Dingir (The King's Signal Gun)!
The nice thing about Caster Gil's NP is that it's not really him doing anything. He's entrusting victory to the people of Uruk.
Whatever you think of normal Gil, his Caster incarnation really is a great king who cares deeply about his people and their progress. As his court magician said, he gave up being the warrior king to become a sage king so that he can properly lead his people against the coming apocalypse brought by the Three Goddess Alliance. And the result is that Uruk is so thriving that you barely realize it's at war on three fronts. Had he just remained his usual self, his people and human civilization would perish even if he gained victory, or so was said.
The other nice thing is that of the two given reasons for him being a caster, the reason he himself gave is that he's just doing it to mock the King of Magic. He's seriously just fucking around.

Although normal Gil may seem disdainful of humanity this is a misconception. His tale is one of acceptance of the limits of humanity, 'all humans are efemeral creatures that eventually will die', but even then what we do with our lifes may echo through time eternally. All noble phantasmas, his treasures embody his affection for humanity; after his death this everlasting tools were scatered across the world and the humans that weilded it 'filled' them with theirs life stories that then was cristilized in power by the comunal belief of mankind, the irrefutable and eternal prof of their existence. When shiro trace a noble phantasm he is taking a piece of the original owner's soul and desecrating it, trivializing their lifes in a banal display because he have no power and no achievement of his own; this is his crime as a "faker".
Gil is the first tsudere of mankind, he love humans and wish for them to become independent, emancipating themselves from Gaia and reaching for the stars but the only way for hum to do so was to turning the world into a garden of sinner.
If he had fullfiled the hole the gods set for him and anchored humanity in the age of the gods the Nasuverse would be extremely similar to Creation, the setting of Exalted; humans reduced to playthings and faith engine for the gods.
