I think that a player should be able to retrieve a portion of the gems and gold when he captures an enemy capitol. There is more than ample historic precendent for the government ending up with a substantial share of a captured cities wealth, after all Napolean financed much of the French economy in his early years by looting conquered territories, and there are countless other examples that I could cite.

I agree with this, but I will go further and change 1 aspect of it. When you capture a players last laboratory you should capture 100% of all magic items still left in it and 100% of any gems, blood slaves and gold.

But players can easily get rid of their wealth by racking up pd before the final siege or giving it away. Gems are similar as they can be used in the final fight, given away to others or simply given to commanders to go down with them.

Shovah32 is of course right that a determined player can spite a attacker by getting rid of all his gems, gold and magic items but you should still be able to capture anything he has not disposed of. Rather than the gems, gold and magic items just disappearing into thin air.
