Of course when you take a town you kill the ruler and most of the nobles. But people with talent would be drafted to do whatever it was they were good at... so translators, people helping with logistics, and so on, right?

    Oh yes, they would be brought back to the capital to serve the empire. I thought you meant recruited for fighting which I don't think happened. They were great at using all the skilled tradesmen. I think they even brought some miners back from Europe to open mines in Mongolia.
