im better than you
its happened on s138 as well, took a long time for it to get to 0, but it did. ive heard this has happened to a few and to thing helped a little, capping all their vallies and also waiting till after main which might be to late.
But not sure as it never happened to me personally
keep scouting and wait for the loy to drop to 0 before attacking again

I've had it happen to me a few times. I thought, as others do, that capping any valleys belonging to the player would help drop loy to 0. Nope, didn't help. The worst case was a city that got hung up at 1 for more than 4 hours. Ample time for a player to have signed on and save a city that should have been lost to them 10 times over. Fortunately, the player never did sign on, and after 4 long hours, I did finally take the city.
An incredibly annoying glitch to be sure.
Actually, the source of this glitch has been recently figured out.
If a city has 99 grievance, it will stop at 1 loyalty. If a city is at 1 loyalty, it will be unable to gain any more grievance. So, if you grieve a city to 99 (or less if there's a tax rate in the target city), the city will halt at 1 loyalty.
The solution is easy. Some people stop the loyalty grind when you pass the 15 loyalty threshold, and attack once every 6 minutes. DO NOT do this!!! Keep attacking with spam waves. You won't take loyalty down faster than 1 every 6 minutes, but you can still add to grievance. You need to get the grievance to 100 BEFORE the loyalty gets to 1. Just attack and get 100 grievance as soon as possible, even if the loyalty is still in double digits. With 100 grievance you can take the city once the loyalty drops from 1 to 0.
Let's say you grind grievance up to 100, by the time loyalty has dwindled to 10. You can then wait 60 minutes (give or take a few minutes depending on when the 6 minute "tick" is in relation to your last attack). Then just send one attack and you will take the city that has grieved itself to 0 loyalty.
I hope that helps.![]()

You may be on to something there. I've only had a city get stuck once, but it was during a "lazy" attack. I normally hit with spam waves until 5 loy.
Rota's right
Basically get PG to 100. Then you can take your time and send the Loy 0 cap hit.
That's it![]()
I hope they fix it cause, that would be easy to exploit. i wont say how.
While i agree with you 100% on spamming wave won't reduce loyaty any faster onces you reach a certain point. I would like to explain why some players do continue to spam waves regardless of the loy.
If the defensive player is online, he should be able to pray, by spamming waves to plunder his gold and his resources, he is forces to only use relief, if the player has warehouse. Now, this is where the warehouse comes to play defensively.
Ofcourse, this spamming method has its limitation =).
By the way, Rota is right again as always.
