In past TW games, you had the option of offering sums of money to allies or vassals directly, in order to shore up their armies and empires. Now you can only give gifts, and that's a question mark.

Does the gift go to the treasury? Is it a "gift" or is it a sum of money as well that can help your allies and vassals?

I want to shore up the Western Roman Empire as ERE, gave them a gift, but I have no clue whether this will help them or just our relations.

Thoughts?
