    Default Ability to capture national treasures, artifacts, art etc. from enemy nations

    I would really be interested in something like this. Where after conquering a nation or taking a.nations capital, you get access to the nations most valuable treasures. However the artifacts, art etc.. Basically anything considered a national treasure should correspond to the region the nations in and have some historical fact behind it.

    I agree 100%, when you take the final capital you should be able to capture the enemies treasury. Not just a random +2000 gold but maybe an actual message with a brief inventory and whatever gold is in their main vault.

    Good ideas, people! I like this one.....it sounds like the reward you get for bringing down a nation. You get its last gold etc. It probably wont be much as the nation was probably spending a lot on army to save itself but it still would be fun to get some final insights in their financials.

    And then if the enemy faction is weak it can also surrender.

    Capturing the Roman legion eagles...that would be really cool.

    Wasn't there actually something like that in Rome TW? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think when you lost your first cohort (the big unit with the eagle in the pic) in battle, you recieved a message that you have lost an eagle I'm not sure though

    Then you have that guy behind you whispering 'Memento Mori, Memento Mori'

    Honestly? I would really really like this.

    Say after a set period of time, of holding the territory and quelling any revolts, you get some kinda hisorical item? Something other than 'Oh you got this land' thing.
    Forward, march!

    I like this idea! Plus techs known to conquered faction should be the trophy too.

    think you should be able to capture national treasures which then have some affect on the men that captured the city ? or the men that destroy a legion should get a morale boost ?

    OP Approved. That would be great! And it isn't something unhistorical either!

    I played Rome 1 quite extensively, it just never happened to me, so I don't know about it.

    This is a really good idea I think since it really happened. But you could also choose to destroy it, as some Roman Commanders were not so enthusiastic about taking art back home with them.

    Awesome idea. The loot could include coins, weapons, armors, animals such as elephants, statues, jewelry, slaves etc.

    "Steps to be taken in case Russia should be forced out of war considered. Various movements [of ] troops to and from different fronts necessary to meeting possible contingencies discussed. Conference also weighed political, economic, and moral effect both upon Central and Allied powers under most unfavorable aspect from Allied point of view. General conclusions reached were necessity for adoption of purely defensive attitude on all secondary fronts and withdrawing surplus troops for duty on western front. By thus strengthening western front [those attending] believed Allies could hold until American forces arrive in numbers sufficient to gain ascendancy."

    Yep it is a great idea and also they should elaborate on the 7 wonders, giving greater perks for the capture of the regions that hold them.

    Excuse me? I'm an adult and I have insatiably played Rome TW since its released. I meant extensions to the original features that go beyond a petty happiness boost.
