What Happens to Country Resources When It Has Been Defeated?

you get a portion of the cash, when you capture the Capitol and it doesnt have to be the last province

Thanks

Whenever you capture any province, you get a portion of the resources that province has produced recently. It seems to average about the same as 12 hours production for the prior owner, which would be 50% of the prior day's production.

I suspect that if the province owner doesn't have that quantity of those resources in inventory, that you won't get the maximum amount, similar to Economic sabotage spies who are unable to steal or destroy resources that don't exist.

How about we actually answer the question from the OP.

Answer = all resources are destroyed once you take the last province (if no units remain) and player is removed from the game. A good idea is to ask a dying/losing player to "send his stuff" to you. This usually only works if you have been somewhat friendly with the player.

My question is: When a country's last province has been captured, and the country is removed from the game, what happens to the resources it may have accrued?

Does the conquering nation get all or some of it?

Does it all just vanish?

Thanks

Since we are discussing capturing resources a related topic is how to prevent there capture. By using the market, you can deprive a conquering power from gaining your resources. If someone is about to capture one of your metal provinces, place a sell metal order on the market for all your metal at $30 each. This depletes your current inventory to 0, so when the province is captured the only resources garnered are those produced since you placed the sell order. When you need the resources later, cancel the trade and the resources flow back into your inventory. You can also hide your cash by placing a buy order for $1 each, but choose a resouce type where others are paying more for the resource.

All units don't have to be dead. Just lose the last province.

Doesn't day change also have to occur after the last province falls, which provides a brief window to take a province?

No, you lose your resources as soon as you are provinceless
