Escrowed funds are not transferred in-game, but are added to a nation's escrow account.

When escrowing via a transfer command, this can deduct from member balance based on the note used e.g. #deposit.

Escrowing does not deduct from the alliance/guild's offshore when no funds are sent in-game.

Overview:

  • Escrowed funds can be withdrawn by the receiver when their blockade ends
  • Escrow can be set to expire
  • Bulk set, add, reset or view escrow for multiple nations
  • Modify escrow based on deposits, cities, stockpile, or current military units
