Loyalty

Loyalty is the measurement of how loyal a village is to its capital/kingdom. For example, if a village's loyalty is low it has a higher chance of starting a revolt against the kingdom. The higher the loyalty of a village, the less chance there is for the village to revolt against its kingdom.

The capital village of a kingdom always has 100 loyalty. If a village is a capital, it will have a constant 100% loyalty and cannot rebel, except in a rare scenario; see "Capital Rebellions" section on the Rebellions page for more info.

When a village revolts against its kingdom, they will form their own kingdom. Then the old kingdom will declare war on the rebelling kingdom. A village can also be forced into a rebellion if a player uses the inspiration power. This will label the war as "Inspiration" instead of "Rebellion".

Loyalty can be raised or lowered by these factors:

• Is it the capital?
• Who is the King/Ruler?
• What is the population size?
• How big is the village?
• Is it a new or old village?
• What traits does the village have?
• How far is the village from the capital?
• Who is the village leader?
• Was the village captured in war?

Loyalty Factor	How is it claculated	Notes
King Diplomacy "King"	King's diplomacy + (stewardship times 2)
Leader Diplomacy "Leader"?	Minus Leader's diplomacy + (stewardship times 2)
Leader Loyalty	Leader's traits that affect loyalty + Opposite and same trait modifiers from comparing king and leader
Population	If capital village, then 0. Absolute value of the village population - the capital's population divided by 3 The result is capped at 30. If the village has more people than the capital, then the number subtracts from village loyalty. Otherwise, it is added.
Zones "Area"	If capital village, then 0. Absolute value of village zones - capital village's zones divided by 20. The result is capped at 5. If the village has more people than the capital, then the number subtracts from village loyalty. Otherwise, it is added.
Distance	If capital village, then 0. Result equals minus the (distance from village center to capital city center) divided by 10.	Distance seems to calculated using Pythagorean theorem return Mathf.Sqrt((float)((pT1.x - pT2.x) * (pT1.x - pT2.x) + (pT1.y - pT2.y) * (pT1.y - pT2.y)));
Capital "Is Capital"	If capital village, then +1000 loyalty.
Mood	Adds loyalty mood of leader of the village (?)	Unsure where loyalty mood is determined
New Village "New Village"	Only used when a village is less than 15 years old. Adds (15 years - how old village is) * 5
New Kingdom	If kingdom is not older than 5 years Adds (5 years - age of kingdom) * 5
Villages	If capital village, then 0. If a kingdom has more cities than max, then: Adds (max cities - amount of cities) * 25;
Superior Enemies	If a kingdom has enemies num2 += kingdom.power; for each enemy result = (num2 - kingdom power)/2 If the result is less than 0 then 0 If not then the loyalty added is capped at 50	Kingdom Power Calculation kingdom.power = kingdom.getArmy() * 2 + kingdom.cities.Count * 5 + 1;
Close to capital	If capital village, then 0. If the village is nearby the capital then +20	Nearby means borders are touching capital
Connected to capital	If capital village, then 0. If borders are touching capital or villages that are connected to the capital then +45 if not -65
World Law	If rebellions are turned off, then +10000 for every village
Culture "Culture/Different Culture"	If capital village, then 0. If same culture as capital, then +5 otherwise -5
Clan "Same/Different Clan"	If the leader is in the same clan as the king, then +30; otherwise, -20.	For some reason there is a check that compares the races of the king and leader and would return 0 if they were different, even though this can never happen in normal gameplay.
New Conquest	If years since last conquest greater than 10, then +0 It results in (10 years - years since start of conquest) * 30
Part of Kingdom "Just joined kingdom"	If years since city founding are greater than 10, then +0 Adds (10 years - years since founding of city) * 10
Supreme Kingdom	Only if more than 1 kingdom in world If kingdom is supreme, then +100 loyalty	Power Calculation kingdom.power = kingdom.getArmy() * 2 + kingdom.cities.Count * 5 + 1;
Second Best Kingdom "Strong Kingdom"	Only if more than 2 kingdoms in world If kingdom is the second strongest, then +50 loyalty	Power Calculation kingdom.power = kingdom.getArmy() * 2 + kingdom.cities.Count * 5 + 1;
King's Rule	If king has ruled for less than 5 years, then +0 For every year of king's rule, +1 loyalty, capped at 40
Loyalty World Era "World Age"	Bonus to loyalty based on world age	Hope +15 Sun +5 Tears, Moon, Wonders, Ice +0 Dark -5 Despair -10 Ash -25 Chaos -55
Loyalty Baby King	If king is less than 18 years old then -50 loyalty
