Annexing a nation- where's their treasury go?

[TheDarkside]

I never really thought of this until now- but what happens to the treasury of a nation once you annex it? I only realized this today when I sieged a 1-province minor and it quickyl offered me 72 ducats for peace. I thought to myself- hey will my treasury raise by 72 ducats once I annex them? Unfortunately, it does not... Is this just an oversight or itnended to be like this?

The gold from their treasury is stolen away by the former rulers, who live in luxury on a Carribean island, or somewhere in Switzerland.

Seriously, I have no idea. This is a good question.

paradox has an account in luxemburg, that's where they go. Why else would they feed us with these patches, do you think they're stupid??

I think the reason you don't get them particularly in the case of diploannexing is that it opens serious abuses. Sending massive gifts to AI to get the relations to +190 and then diploannexing them right away means you'll get a high % of your gifts back through their treasury, making the diploannexation almost free. That sounds like a potential exploit to me.

But, I think that if you Force-Annex a country you should get their gold.

or at least 10% or something

You used to get their whole treasury in EU1 people would annex nations just for the cash.

i like it as it gives a reason not to annex. especially with gold rich pagan tribes. you conquer them, and they buy their survival with hundreds of gold pieces. kind've nice. build another refinery.

The money is taken, in the dark of night, to a hidden treasury in the Cayman Island. (Yes, that is VERY well hidden, can YOU find it on the map?) There it is used to fund the activities of the global conspiracy of pirates and rebels - they don't work for free, you know.

especially nice for the spanish.
Conquer all aztec or inca provinces, make peace for lot's of gold and conversion to catholicism, grab all their provinces with that lovely tordesillias treaty stuff. Almost like real history

Yeah, agree to this. No reason to annex someone just for cash... I do it out of pure greed and hatred instead

Almost as hard to find as Denmark... :rofl:

The rulers of the country use it all to build a nice palace for themselves and indulge in decadent revels to take their mind off of the fact that they are now nothing but your obedient puppet

Nono, the money goes to the fund for expanding the great white and blue blobs.
