How about let enemy's public treasury be captured when taking a settlement?

Chief of which, however, is this: the "Public Treasury" would be in the factional Capital, and yes even for the KH that would be true.

yeah, that's why I was speaking of the warchest rather than the public treasury. btw I totally for got that: I would be cool when it was a bit more rewarding when you conquer an enemy capital... IF it's more difficult to aquire cash than in EB1

This thread gives me an idea.. Perhaps a way to exterminate the populace within a city you control could be created. Of course using it would have a negative morale effect on the army, a negative moral effect on the governor, and unhappiness in other cities.
