First off I am not against the game, just pointing out the facts of (Evony) life.
Yes you can reward with gold instead of medals to promote loyalty but what I was pointing out was how long the game will take if you are not prepared to spend a little. Loyalty has no effect on the rate at which you find medals. Loyalty does not have any effect on the speed of building, research or training. To up their experience and so their effect on "times" you need to attach NPCs or other players. Attacking undefended cities gains you no experience. And so you can have Millions in gold but a poor level hero with 100% loyalty that has no effect on the time it takes to train your troops or research in the acadamy. Spend a little bit of cash for some guides and you can speed up the prossess.
