Title: Royal chest and granary
Summary: Add an option for the ruler to set aside a % of gold from crown taxes on a royal chest. This chest would be similar to the army chest and can be accessed by the Banker to buy food to send to realm regions in need, give to lords to improve regions.
Details: An option on the realm taxes menu would be added to ask the ruler how much of the gold would go to the royal treasury.
On the Command menu for the Banker add options to buy food with gold from the treasure or send to a specific lord.
Benefits: This would add more depth to the Banker role of the realm, giving him more to do and more ways to help administrate the realm.
From the ruler point of view: A change in ruler would still mean that the realm has a good amount of gold for emergencies instead of just adding excess gold to a ruler's family.
He could order the banker and finance improvements on the realm, increasing productivity, allow the banker to buy food from other realms and/or traders to send to regions during starvation on the realm.
The feature would also increase on the Medieval atmosphere where the king usually had granaries and royal treasures that could be used to help the realm in times of need.
Possible Exploits: A rich realm hoarding the excess gold for war times and the banker could remove the gold from treasure to send to his own family.
A way around this would be to allow only the gold from the treasury to be used to buy food directly to a region with a deficit on production and instead of sending the gold to nobles he would invest directly on the region with authorization from the ruler(same system used to sign treaties). And to add an limit of the gold that can be kept inside the treasure.
No personal contact would be made with the gold and it would remain there to be used by the realm.
I hope I was able to make this clear enough without complicating it.
