My question is why is there no reward for razing a city. There has been implemented the reward for killing NPC or general combat, but if you attack a city of some specific size there are some resources, gold etc that are left, which for some reason once you have taken the city and decide to put it and its citizen to the torch/sword magically disappear.
Anyone have a good answer for this?

We really don't need a reason/reward for destroying cities outside compelling human interactions. The devs have gone out of their way to
minimize the usefulness of rampantly terrorizing neighbors. Start rewarding destruction itself and the whole game will change for the worse.

Its a good point, lots of bigger players could just go on a rage of destruction with small players all around them and trash them just to reap the rewards, that would just drive them from the game.

I totally agree with HM and Waylander here.

Unfotunately the temptation is too great, and Profit is often too sweet, despite the source.

I was not thinking of it in a way of extra rewards. But more regarding whatever resources are there at the time.
When we conquer a city we get whatever is left....something like that.

WS,
Send thieves and armies into the city while you are still in the bombardment phase to steal the resources that the defender salvages from the bombardments.
You can delay the actual time of the Razing until you have depleted all the resources in storage.

Ah, but the bombardment also destroys the storehouse and by consequence the stored resources (all except gold/mana/research). Advanced resources are storehouse limited as well, so in the end there can be at most 500 of each for the taking.

Which is why the theiving missions must start with the first bombardment and continue non-stop to the bitter end. Obviously, this works best with close targets and many players conducting the raids.

gold does not use the store house. I've captured a city which had 50million gold stored....
