Loyalty

 Loyalty represents the commitment, dedication and trust that villagers have towards their Emperor (Maharaja). Loyalty for the village is shown at the top left hand side of the home page (adjacent to your village name).

 Loyalty is a very important factor when it comes to conquering villages. If the village's loyalty goes down to 0 (zero), it indicates that villagers are not loyal towards their Maharaja and can be pledge their allegiance to another ruler.

 When it's the matter of reducing village loyalty, Counts are the best and only option. One must send a Count with his troops when attacking another village. Every successful attack that has a Count in it, will reduce the village under attack’s loyalty by 25% and 10% in case of surrender. Keep attacking that particular village until the loyalty comes down to 0 (zero). Once the loyalty is 0, the defeated village shall appear in the attacker’s village list.

 Note that, if loyalty for the defender's village goes down, it gets restored over a period of time. The rate of recovery depends on the level of buildings in the village and also, villagers forget why they were mad at you over time.

 Wonder in a village adds greatly to the loyalty. Loyalty throughout the Empire is cumulative i.e. every village with a Wonder receives +25% to loyalty.
