I would like to share this info to some of the players who have yet to use its benefit.
Abusing levy can be a good thing despite what it says about don't over do it, just as long as you use praying afterwards, it should balance thing out.
Levy drops loyalty by 20 and praying raises it by 25, unless that have change, since i last played than this should work fine.
I would like to explain more about this before getting into the steps..
Why levy? well, levying for wood is the cheapest way of getting wood for 1 gold per wood versus up to 40 gold per wood at the market.
How does that work? Depending on your population.
Base on what i remember, you can levy wood @ 100 of your population, iron @ 40%, food @ 100% and stone @ 50%. Out of these 4 choice, wood is the most profitable choice to levy and that is why i abuse wood levy alot.
The cost for prayer to get it back up is 100% of the population aswel, so if your max population is 120,000 then you pay 120k in gold, which bring us to the cost of the wood, 1 gold per unit. This figure was taken from 0 tax rate so you get the maximum levy, however, at 5 tax it will be slightly lower, but the potential for 1 gold per unit is there.
additional benefit of levying then praying is you gain prestiges for those interested in raising your prestige. Keep in mind that prestige gain is also affect by the population, the higher your population the more prestige you gain when you use praying.
I know some of you would say, 120k wood, that all..
Well, if you do this every 15 mins that total would be 480.k every hour which you can sell for huge profit and buy food or keep.
When is the best time to levy?
Levy before you recruit troops. Why? because when you recruit you drop your population thus lowering the your gain when you levy.
The way i use my leby abuse is i set my tax anywhere from 1 to 5. Why? because if set it to 0 i would have to keep trying to get an idea when to levy again by looking at the countdown, however, if i set it to 5, the all i do is wait for the loyalty drops to 97 to abuse it again.
Or if you're like me who used to levy all the city roughly all at the same time, i would set my first city to 5% tax and the rest @ 0, this way all i need to look is the first city and levy city one after the other.
Have fun and happy hunting.

revise.. new info was send to me by a good friend.
This new info stated that @ 0 tax rate you should get the full levy benefit, however at 5 tax rate, because the population drops, so does the total levy amount, it drops by a few.
Also, praying will cost you the same as the total max population, so even if your current population is 36,k and ur max pop limit is 100k, you will be paying 100k.
