unique building - treasury?

IIRC, when Roma, the city, was overrun and captured in its early years, the citizens and ruling body vowed never to have to submit to another power or suffer what they suffered at the hands of barabarians ever again. To ensure this, they set aside an "emergency fund" which would only be used in times of emergency. Caesar requested the use of this emergency fund when he went off to chase down pompey (after he had crossed the Rubicon and seized Rome). I'm not sure if there was anything similar to this present in oter cultures, or for that matter what it would be worth (maybe 10 000-30 000). So in this historical respect I think it should be implemented.

The current game model, RTW in general, not just EB, ensures that I'll leave have to worry about money, however, I could see the concept of a tree of reserves. Build this building costing 6k to store 5k worth of reserves, gives a 5% happiness bonus. 12k to build a 10k reserve and provides 10%. Beyond that no order bonus, just a way to represent the storage of massive amounts of money. Each time the AI loots one of yours, they get that building, and it's damaged 100% like the gov building. Vary the money as needed, though I would hope the largest one would store a huge amount of gold as can be accumlated by focusing on peace, not war. Build time... not too long, even for the longest one. Anyways, just an idea.

You do know that buildings yield only a fraction of its construction costs when they are destroyed (1/3 I believe)? And what would the purpose of such a building be? Your cash reserve is safe and sound without it. 6000 in the hand now is still 6000 in the hand tomorrow.

I thought it was controllable. And as I said, the purpose is moot because of how money works in this game, I'm just saying that if there was a more realistic model, creating reserves, or a war chest, would be a good idea, as well as allowing the concept of deficit spending or devaluation of the currency, etc. Money, especially coins, don't just magically exist, they need storage and transportation, as well as mints among other services.
